Marvel Concept Artist Shares New Sketch Of Ant-Man

Ant-Man and The Wasp has begun production, and with it, like all new superhero films, comes a new costume for the titular hero.

Ant-Man, who after Captain America: Civil War can also become Giant-Man, will suit up in a costume original designed by Marvel Studios’ concept artist Andy Park. Park to Twitter in celebration of the new movie beginning production to share a sketch of an early design of the character as he has imagined it.

“In honor of Ant-Man & the Wasp starting principle photography here’s an Ant-Man sketch I did earlier this year,” Park captioned the tweet with the photo. Check it out below.

From the Marvel Cinematic Universe comes a new chapter featuring heroes with the astonishing ability to shrink: Ant-Man and The Wasp. In the aftermath of Captain America: Civil War, Scott Lang (Rudd) grapples with the consequences of his choices as both a Super Hero and a father. As he struggles to balance his home life with his responsibilities as Ant-Man, he’s confronted by Hope van Dyne (Lilly) and Dr. Hank Pym (Douglas) with an urgent new mission. Scott must once again put on the suit and learn to fight alongside The Wasp as the team works together to uncover secrets from their past.

The biggest news of the Ant-Man and the Wasp portion of the Marvel Studios panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2017 was the casting of former Batman star Michelle Pfeiffer as the original Wasp, Janet Van Dyne. While the character did appear in Ant-Man, we only got a glimpse of the character’s eyes through a suit as she worked to dismantle a warhead. That cameo role was instead played by Hayley Lovitt.

Casting a big-time name in this role now, however, indicates that Janet Van Dyne is going to play a much larger role to Peyton Reed’s follow up flick.
