Secrets Of The ANT-MAN Suit Revealed; Will We See "Pym Particles" In The Movie?

Suit designers Sammy Sheldon and Ivo Coveney have been on board Ant-Man since Edgar Wright was attached to direct, and it's revealed in the latest issue of Empire Magazine that they were still working on the suit during shooting. Why exactly does Scott Lang need to wear that helmet though? "When you shrink, the molecules in the air are too big for your lungs," Sheldon explains. "He has to be fully contained or he'd die." That means we can probably count out seeing a tiny Paul Rudd running around the place then as the shrinking action will clearly be restricted to when he's in the suit. As a result, it's probably best to forget this scene being recreated in the MCU! 

There's still no word on whether or not Pym Particles are going to make it into Ant-Man, but the magazine notes that "mysterious chemicals" are sent around Scott's body via tubing. "We had a long discussion about the two cables going into his helmet," Coveney reveals. "They're a massive weakness - Yellowjacket could just rip them off and he's dead. But, in the end, it just looks cooler with them on." On this subject, Sheldon adds: "The fact that he's shrinking is enough to get away with anything else, really!" What do you guys think about these latest Ant-Man details?

The best part of this idea is that Antman won't randomly take his helmet off while delivering some punny line in a fight sequences.

Can't wait for this movie

"When you shrink, the molecules in the air are too big for your lungs,"

I like this idea, it also leaves room for improvement because I think Lang is wearing Pym's old suit for the majority of the movie.... Can't wait to see the Mark II

They did a good job with the suit.

Not bad. Not bad at all.

You couldn't just post that on Facebook where it belongs, or are you just desparate for attention?

Someone call that one overzealous Hank Pym fan so he can whine about the possibility of them not doing the Pym Particles.

Things like the tubes potentially being ripped off could add to the story, I think marvel needs something like that where the character's life is at stake other than something blowing up...

I'm glad the amount of Hank purists have dwindled down since Michael Douglas was casted and Rudd was confirmed to be scott

Wait a minute. Does this mean that if/when we get the Wasp in the MCU, she has to wear a helmet too??

This is cool, I like that Scott will keep the helmet and the scientific explanation make all sense to me.

@lubedUp I know!!! I hope that won't be the case, because, well, Evangeline Lily is so beautiful and wasp does not wear a helmet in the comic... But we'll have to wait and see I guess..

@ComicsBornAndBred We will find out soon, I really hope. Because I want to see the Wasp in Civil War!!

Would have missed this if I didn't decide to search for a trailer, so thanks for the heads up cbm.

Pretty sure that explanation makes no sense whatsoever, but ill roll with it. The individual particles of air are so small making someone ant sozed wont make a difference
