Peyton Reed Talks ANT-MAN AND THE WASP, Says It Will Be a Much Weirder Movie
Director Peyton Reed is hard at work developing Ant-Man and the Wasp, which will serve as a sequel to the first film. During an interview with Newsarama, the director said they are just starting the writing process. He also spoke about the sequel and what it will explore and sais it’s going to be a much weirder movie.
“The goal is to keep what we really liked for the characters in the first one, but to make it a much weirder movie.”
Ant-Man was already wonderfully weird. I’m curious to see how much weirder it can get! The director goes on to explain that that the sequel will also take the character’s story into some “unexpected places.” One thing Reed is looking forward to exploring most is the relationship between Scott Lang/Ant-Man and Hope Van Dyne/The Wasp:
“Part of thing that we’re going to explore, as shown in the comics, is how [the Ant-Man and Wasp] are such a great duo and partnership. Part of that, in any partnership, is how they relate to each other as people. Where will their personal relationship be at that point, and what will be their fighting style together?”
I loved the first film, and now that the groundwork has been laid, Ant-Man and the Wasp should be able to do some crazy things. There’s no doubt in my mind that it will end up being even better. The movie is set to be released on July 6th, 2018.
