Ant-Man and YellowJacket Fight in New Photo
The only images we’ve seen of the Ant-Man villain Yellowjacket so far has been in the form of promotional and concept art. But today, thanks to EW, we have our first photo of the character, and he’s about to obliterate little Ant-Man with a devastating punch unless Ant-Man dodges it!
Darren Cross, a.k.a. Yellowjacket, is played by Corey Stoll, and his suit is a lot more powerful than Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man. Director Peyton Reed explained in an interview with EW that “Hank Pym’s Ant-Man suit doesn’t have a single weapon, whereas Yellowjacket is armed with plasma cannons.” All I can say is that it’s going to be incredibly fun to watch these two characters fight each other.
The story follows con-man Scott Lang (Rudd) who, armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.
Ant-Man hits theaters on July 17th, and it also stars Evangeline Lilly, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña, Abby Ryder Fortson, Judy Greer, David Dastmalchian, Wood Harris, and John Slattery.
