Secrets Of The ANT-MAN Suit Revealed; Will We See "Pym Particles" In The Movie?
In the latest issue of Empire Magazine, Ant-Man costume designers Sammy Sheldon and Ivo Coveney reveal plenty of new details about the suit which Scott Lang inherits from Hank Pym. Why will removing the helmet result in the wearer's death? Hit the jump to find out...
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?
