It’s been a full week ofAnt-Mannews, with thefirst trailerdebut, starPaul Rudd’sEntertainment Weekly cover,new photosandheist details. Today we’re closing out the work week with even moreAnt-Manphotos, featuring starPaul Ruddas Scott Lang both in and out of his superhero suit, along with a new look at a miniature Scott riding atop an ant. We also have a better look at theYellowjacket concept artfrom yesterday, plus new details on Yellowjacket himself, the villainous Darren Cross, played byCorey Stoll.
We reported yesterday thatEvangeline Lilly’s Hope Van Dyne, the daughter ofMichael Douglas' Hank Pym and potential love interest for Scott Lang, helps both her father and his protege stage a heist to steal the Yellowjacket suit from Darren Cross. However, it seems she may be playing both sides, withCorey Stollrevealing toEntertainment Weeklythat Darren and Hope have, “colluded to take over the company” from Hank Pym. Here’s whatCorey Stollhad to say.
“I was this child prodigy thatMichael Douglas' character Hank Pym discovered at an early age. He nurtured me and I was part of his technology company. I started to become aware of these rumors of this fabled technology that can shrink people to half an inch while keeping their full-size strength. And I became very obsessed with it and demanded that we move forward. But Pym had sort of buried it for ethical, moral reasons. I’ve discovered my own version of [Pym Particles] and I’m using it for militaristic purposes. I’ve even started to use the technology myself, which as a sort of psychotic effect on people if they use it too much. I can’t get into the details of all the goodies of the Yellowjacket suit but it’s several generations advanced from what Ant-Man has. And then I put it on- and then I am Yellowjacket!”
The actor was initially cast byEdgar Wrightbefore he parted ways with the project, which lead toPeyton Reedtaking over at the helm.Corey Stollalso discussed his first interactions with directorPeyton Reed
“I followed the ridiculous ins and outs of the director search just like everybody else. When I first metPeytonI was expecting to meet somebody very nervous and did not see that at all. He was so comfortable. He’s such a fan at heart and was having so much fun that that was really infectious.”
