Kevin Feige teases Hank Pym’s “many adventures” as Ant-Man and more

Like it did with the misfit crew of last year’s Guardians of the Galaxy, Marvel introduces another unlikely hero to the mainstream — when film audiences first meet Scott Lang, he’s walking out of prison. Yet Ant-Man is “one of the most surprisingly emotional” movies in the Marvel canon, says producer Kevin Feige. Lang has committed crimes that estrange him from his wife and 4-year-old girl, and Pym seeks a similar redemption with his own daughter (Lilly). “Hank Pym invented the Ant-Man technology, went on many adventures and is now much older and trying to recruit a new person,” says Feige. “It’s the first film we’ve made in which the story is about a torch being passed, essentially.”
