Hit the jump for an official image from the awesome opening scene of Marvel's Ant-Man featuring Michael Douglas de-aged by nearly 30 years as Dr. Hank Pym, and also check out how the flawless visual effect was carried out by Lola VFX supervisor Trent Claus.
Speaking with Vulture, Lola visual effects supervisor Trent Claus explained how the studio worked with Marvel to achieve the flawless cosmetic effect. "They asked for advice for what they could do when they were shooting that could aid us, which is very much appreciated," he said. "We put our two cents in, and they did everything we needed right from the start." Claus also revealed that Douglas' past movies were used for reference, although "it made us work harder, because the audience already knew what he looked like at that age; There wasn't a whole lot of leeway." Trent Claus goes into more detail over at Vulture, but check out Lola's incredible work below!
