When Peyton Reed sat down recently with Screen Junkies, the Ant-Man director was asked if/when we might see Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) or even Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) take on the Giant-Man form which both characters have done in Marvel Comics. “Listen, I think with Hank Pym and Scott Lang, and with that technology, I think it’s safe to say at some point somewhere you’re going to see some real growth...,” said Reed, pausing to look at the camera before continuing, “...for that character. I hedge my bet there, because it could be sort of growth as a human being, emotional growth, or literal giant growth. There’s a good chance of that.” Well played Mr. Reed, well played.

While Ant-Man introduced how the Pym Particles technology can shrink people (as well as objects) and enlarge them back to their original sizes, it's rumored that Scott Lang will reach new heights (specifically about 15-20 feet tall) when he returns in Captain America: Civil War. And if true, which it likely is judging by Peyton Reed's sly response and the rumor's source, Giant-Man will certainly be visually unique for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Anyhow, watch Reed's full interview below! 





Directed by Anthony & Joe Russo from a screenplay by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely, Captain America: Civil War picks up where Avengers: Age of Ultron left off, as Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain. Starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Paul Bettany, Jeremy Renner, Don Cheadle, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Rudd, Chadwick Boseman, Emily VanCamp, Daniel Brühl, Frank Grillo, William Hurt, and Martin Freeman, Captain America: Civil War is set for release on May 6, 2016.
