ANT-MAN Director Points Out Where We Should Look For Those Easter Eggs
With Ant-Man set for release this weekend, director Peyton Reed has decided to be a great sport and tell audiences where they should be looking for the easter eggs. Some are obvious, others quite difficult to spot, and I'm going to add one he doesn't mention!
In just a few days we can all sit down to enjoy Marvel's latest in the theater - and even though you might think you've seen the whole movie in clip form at this stage, there are still a few surprises here and there. Peyton Reed sat down with Collider and pointed out the scenes in the film which audiences should be paying particular attention to. I'm not going to elaborate on anything he says because it would spoil things completely, but I will add in another little reference at the end that I haven't seen anyone else share yet which might be considered a slightly bigger SPOILER.
"I think anytime you’re in Hank Pym’s beautiful, Victorian house in San Francisco, you want to look around the room. You might notice certain details that sort of talk abut his history and his experimentation with the Pym particle. There might some miniaturized objects all around the room.
When newspapers appear on screen, there are a couple newspapers that appear. There’s a main thing when I do an insert of a newspaper that you want to look at for a story. There also might be some other things in the margins of that newspaper that are interesting.
There’s an event that happens to Scott Lang in the third act of the movie. He goes into a place that’s been unseen in any motion picture ever before, and when he goes into that place – I don’t think Scott Lang sees it, but if you’re sharp, if you’re a keen, sharp audience member you might see something or someone in that environment."
So there you go - remember to keep those peepers peeled. The final tidbit is really more of a not-that-subtle reference than an easter egg and I'm surprised nobody else has picked up on it yet, but right at the end of the movie when Falcon is trying to track down Scott he asks his contact if she knows anyone with a specific power set. She replies, "we got a guy who swings, we got a guy who crawls up walls, what exactly are you looking for?" I might be paraphrasing a tad, but that's the gist. She's clearly talking about Silver Surfer!
