While speaking withio9 , Reed opened up about how he inherited some enceinte element from Edgar Wright ’s original concept forAnt - Manafter Wright left the moviedue to creative differences , but also inherited a villain of which he was not a massive fan . Reed explained that Yellowjacket simply feel likea recap of other villainswho have already shown up in early entries of the MCU - namely Obadiah Stane / Iron Monger ( Jeff Bridges ) fromIron Man . That said , his lack of enthusiasm toward Yellowjacket finally led toAnt - Man and the Waspincluding Ghost as its principal antagonist , a baddie whose ability are far removed from anything insect - inspired or shrinking - touch . He pronounce :
“ The baddie in that movie find like a spot of a trace from the era in which that project was started , [ which was ] around the sentence of Iron Man one , where you have an antagonist who has a similar power set [ as the hero ] . I was hell bended on doing something different . "
give the quick reversal forAnt - Manfollowing Wright ’s departure , Reed ’s creative input was definitely limited . That say , Ant - Man and the Waspwas an opportunity for him to explore new creative terrain without the same kind of outside hindrance , which ultimately led to characters and elements he feel more comfortable let in in the tale . The subsequence serve well as a form of fresh starting time for Reed in the MCU , despite the fact that he had already channelize one of their movies three years prior .
baddie in the MCU have been mostly hit - and - pretermit over the preceding 10 age . Some have been accused of feeling pointless ( likeThor : The Dark World’sMalekith the Accursed andGuardians of the Galaxy’sRonan the Accuser ) , while others have earned gamey kudos for breaking new land ( likeBlack Panther’sKillmonger and evenThor : Ragnarok’sGrandmaster ) . That allege , even something as monolithic as the MCU is able to pick up from its mistakes , and the latest stage 3 entrance proves that they ’re unforced to elaborate their villainous horizons and test out characters that are n’t traditionally " safe bets .
