ANTMAN Wraps Principle Photography And Concept Artwork For Villain Yellow Jacket

Director Peyton Reed has taken to Twitter to confirm that principle photography on Marvel's Ant-Man has wrapped. The heist film will be released on July 17th, 2015, which was originally the spot reserved for Batman v Superman before moving to 2016.. The cast includes Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas, Evangeline Lily, Corey Stoll (seen above), Michael Pena, Judy Greer, John Slattery, Bobby Cannavale, T.I. and Hayley Atwell.

Edgar Wright, who was set to write and direct the film controversially exited the film, and had his script he co-wrote with Joe Cornish completely rewritten by Adam McKay, Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari. Peyton Reed was hired to replace Wright and was able to pull everything together to make it work. A trailer should be expected for the Super Bowl, as Marvel will need to make audiences aware of the extremely obscure Marvel hero early-on.

There are also images of concept art (could also be art from the Hasbro line of toys) of the film's villain Yellow Jacket (Corey Stoll) making the rounds online. Below you can see these images which look extremely similar to style used for Ant-Man's concept art poster from SDCC14. Along with a shot of Paul Rudd from recent pick-up shots.

RUMOR: Does Villain Darren Cross Steal The Yellow Jacket Suit In ANT-MAN?

There have been a couple of rumors circling via JoBlow and TheWrap concerning who the villains of Peyton Reed's Ant-Man will be. There is talk of actors Corey Stoll and Patrick Wilson taking the roles of the villains, with Stoll playing main industrial baddie Darren Cross. I assume the pair are the ones who are hellbent on stealing Hank Pym's technology, which leads us to the "big heist" of the picture.

BadassDigest seems to try to clear things up a bit, mainly noting that it very well could be the Yellow Jacket suit that is being stolen from Pym. The suit is best known as giving Hank Pym a personality disorder, which leads to him hitting his wife Janet. A rather large and shocking plot-point for comics in that era, since domestic abuse wasn't the subject of hero's daily lives back then. It's uncertain who Stoll and Wilson will be playing, but Devin confirms Darren Cross is one of the villains. Also, hinting one of the two could be donning the Yellow Jacket suit. This would make a lot of sense and allow the darker side of Pym to be explored without making Hank out to be total piece of garbage.
