Ant-Man

Michael Douglas has offer his thoughts on Marvel Studios ' formula for achiever . In just two days , Marvel Studios is cap off another successful year withAnt - Man & The Wasp . Directed by returning helmsman Peyton Reed , the picture is smaller - both literally and figuratively - than recent MCU films and pair    Paul Rudd ’s shrinking zep with a new partner :   Evangeline Lilly ’s Wasp . While it remains to be control how the movie fits into the larger   MCU story , fans are no doubt excited to see out what theAnt - Mansequel foreshadows about the enfranchisement ’s future tense .

Reprising his role as   Dr. Hank Pym for the second time , the Oscar - winning Douglas   gets a piddling more to do   inAnt - Man & The Waspthan he did   in the firstAnt - Manmovie . This time , however , it ’s more personal than ever for   the physicist , as he , his daughter Hope , and Scott Langattempt to rescue   his wife , Janet van Dyne , from the Quantum Realm ,   where she ’s been stranded   for several 10 now .

Speaking withEWwhile making the round to promoteAnt - Man & The Wasp ’s release in theaters , Douglas propose his two cent regarding Marvel Studios ' keep authorization in the world of funny Holy Scripture motion picture . For the actor , there are two thing that Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige and his team do passing well ( legal action sequence and interesting characters ) , which are responsible for their ongoing success :

“ Each picture , I think they decide upon their bountiful action gear up opus , which they sic up too soon on , so they get a stack of time for prep , and then they forge their path in . And then , when you get to more fictitious character scenes , depending upon the actors , they allow a lot of margin . So , Michael Peña , for one , comes up with all this wonderful wiggy , wiggy hooey . Paul Rudd ’s another one that does that . And I cogitate they further that , and it give you kind of the freshness that I guess split the Marvel film from the eternal rest of these superhero photographic film . ”

Douglas is n’t wrong ; Marvel ’s big action sequence are ordinarily thrill and well opinion - out . They almost always have a important narrative impact , as fight down to being but an excuse for people to plug each other . The action is   also one of the biggest draws for Marvel Studios ' films , especially for cosmopolitan moviegoers who are n’t of necessity   interested in fictitious character arcs , when it total to their superhero films . Still ,   at the destruction of the day , it ’s these movies '   character reference that make them compelling . For example , the Brobdingnagian airport combat inCaptain America : Civil Warwas chock - full of character interactions between Team Iron Man and Team Cap which made it more engaging   and memorable .

Based on the previously - release trailers and spots forAnt - Man & The Wasp , Marvel Studios ' tradition of craft merriment but acute scrap action sequence carry on in the film . The Wasp herself stars in some of the coolest battle injection as she takes on several thug and , of row , the flick ’s primary antagonist , Ghost . It also seems like Reed doubled down on using the size of it - shifting capabilities made possible by the Pym Particles .
