In the following video interview, Peyton Reed praises Ant-Man's "terrific" script (which is still being worked on) before going on to discuss the relationship between Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) and Scott Lang (Paul Rudd), as well as the potential challenges of making the character a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The director also comments on Yellowjacket being in the movie, before teasing the appearance of other bad guys by stating that it , "depends on how you define 'villain'". Finally, he promises that Adam McKay is bringing a lot to the movie's script, including plenty of Easter Eggs as he's a huge Marvel fan. As for humour, it sounds as if Ant-Man will be similar to most of the other Marvel Studios in that respect. Check out the interview below and then be sure to share your thoughts on these comments in the usual place!

Need to hurry up with that trailer, so people can stop complaining.

This sounds bad. It doesn't look like he wants to be there very much either.

Getting a bad vibe from this.

You know what, I LOVE what he said. He seems very confident about the direction the movie has taken, apparently the humor will be great. I'm more excited then I was. I can't wait.

When the first trailer is released, everyone will be back onboard the Ant-Man, so I ain't worried.

@themidnightking No I've been here quite a while, but I'm trying to say that with pretty much any of these movies where people are going to bitch and moan without even watching the interviews. I actually love what Reed said in this interview, and I'm looking forward to the movie a lot more than I was a few weeks ago after his comments.

"depends on how you define 'villain'"

The twist will be both Hank Pym / Hope Van Dyne are villains. LMAO -- All the original characters are villains and Scott Lang is the hero.

AMAZING script.

Nah, I'm just predicting how some people are on this site.

Sorry if I made it look like the Comic-Con footage leaked.

Now I feel like a ass, lol.

@SpiderFraud I don't know what the hell Alex is talking about, you didn't come off like there was a footage leak at all.

Uggghhh more unnecessary humor at random moments that are probably not even funny. Hopefully it'll be like Cap 2's balance and its not oversaturated with it and it actually works; but since its Marvel im preparing for worst in the writing department.

@AlexanderLykins Oh sorry dude, I read your comment wrong. My bad.

Some people are going to eat crow when this film knocks it out of the park. I have way more faith in this than I have in the FF reboot.

I'm sure this film will be decent.

I hate that people come on here and bitch about humor. You're just looking for something to be mad at. It's annoying. Humor doesn't take away anything from the story.

You know I'm a huge Edgar Wright fan & in fact I started to get interested in Ant-Man back in 2006 when he was announced as director of this film. I enjoy Lang as a character very much and was stoked when they announced Rudd to play him (called it at the oscars last year). Having said that, I was pissed when Wright left but I think this movie is going to be great. I cannot wait. I don't understand all the hate.

This movie is going to suck lol. In the end, I'm sure Marvel is going to play it safe with this one, with a good amount of unnecessary humor, predictable plot twists, and a whole lot of corn....

Only people who hate this film are butt hurt hank pym fans (which I didn't even know they had) and DC fans who think this will be "the fall of Marvel"
