Get A Closer Look At 'Yellowjacket' Concept Art From Marvel's ANT-MAN
Earlier today, we got a teeny tiny glimpse of Ant-Man's villain. Thankfully, a much larger version has now found its way online, giving us a much closer look at the movie's pint-sized baddie, Yellowjacket (played by Corey Stoll, House of Cards). Check it out...
It's been a great day for Ant-Man news, with some major new plot details and comments from Kevin Feige and company on Edgar Wright's departure. So, what does this image tell us about Yellowjacket? Well, it seems like a safe bet that Darren Cross has constructed this suit for nefarious purposes, as the tendrils have blades on the end of them for a start. Could Yellowjacket be something he hopes to sell to the military? That would explain why Hank Pym wants to take it out of Cross' hands! It also has wings, allowing the villain to take flight without the use of ants. Finally, some have pointed out similarities to Ultron...with Ant-Man coming out after Avengers: Age of Ultron, could Cross be using the android as a basis for his design? We'll have to wait and see!
