July 15, 2012 - Ant-Man / title artwork and test footage shown at Comic Con!
Scooped on Monday, July 16, 2012
At their San Diego Comic Con panel this year, Ant-Man director Edgar Wright surprised and delighted fans by walking out on the stage. He then offered a special treat: showing the test footage he recently filmed for his dream of a live-action Ant-Man movie.
As reported by Screenrant reporter Rob Keyes, here's what the footage offered:
"So, what was shown in the short clip?
"Opening shot pans down from inside a vent looking down a brightly lit hallway, lined with silver colored panels. Inside the vent is a very small Ant-Man looking down the hallway to a door at the end, guarded by two men in suits.
"Angle changes to corridor looking up to vent and we see little Ant-Man jumping down, changing size to normal as the armed men pull out side-arms to shoot.
"Ant-Man shrinks, jumps up and we see a slow-mo shot of him punching the guard to his in the mouth.
"Ant-Man goes full size as he engages the second guard, shrinks again as he jumps and grabs the guard’s tie, going full-size as he goes over and using the momentum to flip the guard over his should through a glass window.
"Ant-Man, then patiently walks and enters the elevator door as a few more glass bits fall from the window.
"Ant-Man’s costume concealed his face entirely but is very similar to the books (seen above and below). When he transforms, he phases and instantly becomes the other size. It was a pure action sequence and showcases how Ant-Man can be a very cool and unique spy for SHIELD. His abilities are very unique and he’s a trained operative. Wright said after the footage: 'Ant-Man will kick you ass one inch at a time.'"
While Marvel did go on the record for release dates for several other movies that they have in development, they chose to remain non-committal about when they might greenlight Ant-Man, and what year Wright's film would come out.
