What's left behind the scenes
- Director Edgar Wright, a big fan of Ant-Man, proposed to Marvel in 2003 to make a film about him. Since then, he began working on the film, invited actors, and was close to starting filming. However, in 2014, he left the project due to creative differences between him and Marvel Studios.
- The helmets of Iron Man and the Transformer Bumblebee served as inspirational factors in creating the Ant-Man helmet.
- Joseph Gordon-Levitt was considered for the role of Ant-Man.
- Initially, the film was supposed to focus on the first Ant-Man, Hank Pym. However, the filmmakers believed that Pym's story could be perceived negatively (this character suffered from a split personality), and instead decided to focus on Pym's successor, Scott Lang, while Pym was assigned a secondary role as a mentor.
- The film had been in development since the late 1980s. Stan Lee, the creator of 'Ant-Man,' proposed making a film to New Line Entertainment, but they considered the story similar to the plot of 'Honey, I Shrunk the Kids' (1989). As a result, the project languished on the shelf for two decades.
- Rashida Jones was considered for the role of the Wasp, Hank Pym's wife, when the character was still in the script.
- Adrien Brody expressed interest in the role of Ant-Man.
- Jessica Chastain turned down the lead female role due to scheduling conflicts.
- Adam McKay, Ruben Fleischer, Rawson Marshall Thurber, Nicholas Stoller, Michael Dowse, and David Wain were considered as directors.
- Patrick Wilson was potentially cast in this film but had to leave the project due to scheduling conflicts.
- Sean Bean, Pierce Brosnan, and Gary Oldman were considered for the role of Hank Pym.
- Costume designer Sammy Sheldon and headwear designer Ivo Coveney, along with a team of artists, created 13 suits, 17 helmets, 17 belts, 8 pairs of gloves, 6 pairs of shoes, 15 backpacks, 15 helmet liners, and 14 collars for Ant-Man. Each helmet consists of 54 parts and 10 LED indicators. Adding the details of the helmet liner, each helmet is made of more than 60 individual parts.
- Each Ant-Man suit incorporates 159 LED indicators that are controlled remotely. All electronic circuits and power for the indicators are housed in a backpack. The entire suit, including gloves and belt, is illuminated.
- Scenes of Ant-Man shrinking sequentially were created using a combination of macro photography, i.e., shot in extreme close-up, and motion capture of actors and stunt performers. A miniature set was created for each frame.
- Inspired by the shooting of miniature scenes, the film crew crafted a "mini-clapperboard" to synchronize picture and sound. The "mini-clapperboard" is an exact copy of a wooden "clapperboard" on which they wrote with chalk.
- Filming for the Marvel film "Ant-Man" took place in San Francisco, and many street scenes were shot in the city, such as filming near the Golden Gate Bridge and in the Tenderloin district, scenes with the facade of a Victorian house where Dr. Pym lives. From San Francisco, film production moved to the new Pinewood Studios complex in Atlanta, Georgia. The sets for Dr. Hank Pym’s house were the first sets constructed in a soundstage.
- As in the other films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, great attention was paid to the details of the interior of Dr. Pym’s Victorian house, from the furniture and fireplace to the stained glass and wall decor. Wallpaper was purchased in limited quantities from a New York store specializing in 1930-40s interiors. The set decorators had to calculate the wallpapering with jeweler's precision so that not a single centimeter of the exclusive material was wasted.
- Miniature items located throughout the house tell about Dr. Pym’s adventures when he himself was Ant-Man, and hint at how many experiments on reducing inanimate objects Hank Pym carried out before moving on to living organisms.
- The wig worn by Michael Douglas in the scene where he plays young Hank Pym, the actor bought for a film about President Reagan that he was planning to shoot.
- As a child, Peyton Reed was a passionate fan of Marvel comics. In high school, he even drew a pencil drawing of the members of the punk band he was in portrayed as the Avengers from the cover of the first comic about the super-team. Surprisingly, the future director of the film of the same name drew himself as Ant-Man in the image.
- In the film, Scott Lang's best friend, Luis, drives a beat-up brown van. Throughout the film, the van is modified, and the different models were jokingly referred to by the props team as “Mark 1,” “Mark 2,” and “Mark 3,” as a playful nod to Iron Man’s suit designations. Luis is most proud of the “Mark 1” model, despite it being the most dilapidated. “Mark 2” is a model for thieves with enlarging mirrors to better see what’s happening around the van, and side steps to easily jump into the moving van. The “Mark 3” model is prepared for the robbery of Pym Technologies and looks like a water service vehicle.
- Adam McKay, Ruben Fleischer, Rawson Marshall Thurber, Nicholas Stoller, Michael Dowse and David Wain were considered as directors.
