COMICS: A Suited Up 'Hank Pym' Heads Into Action In First Look At ANT-MAN Movie Prequel

Wondering what Hank Pym's suit looked like during the Cold War? Well, you can find out in this first look at the Ant-Man Prelude, as well as comments from writer Will Corona Pilgrim about what exactly the original Ant-Man was up to before passing on the mantle to Scott Lang...

Next month will see the release of Ant-Man Prelude, a two-part comic book which will reveal more about Hank Pym's early adventures. The story will be set during the Cold War, but how much it will reveal about the movie and the fate of Janet Van Dyne remains to be seen. Writer Will Corona Pilgrim says, "The Cold War played a pivotal role in the post-World War II world and shaping what would become the agency we all know as S.H.I.E.L.D. but when you’re talking about a global conflict that spanned decades, there is definitely a distinction between Peggy’s Cold War era, which would have been around the time of the Truman doctrine and Hank’s, which would have been closer to when Gorbachev was leader of the Soviet Union. S.H.I.E.L.D.’s evolving position in the world during all that time plays a big part in defining Hank Pym’s role as the Ant-Man." It appears as if he's wearing the same suit as Scott Lang, so does this mean no classic 60s era costume? As always, be sure to share your thoughts and theories in the usual place.

Nice, I hope Pym suits up in a flashback scene in Ant-Man, this rocks though.... I'm excited for Ant-Man, can't wait, and we haven't even see Yellow Jacket yet

So from the drawing can we tell who the actor playing young Pym is going to be?

@DrKinsolving I see it, but it's a comic. Want to see Pym front and center in his movie on the big screen ;)

So if Pym is wearing the same suit as Lang that means we will get an even better suit by the end, or next time we see him.

Not sure if this is official or Fan made.

@SmellofDuty

Exactly, that's what I've been saying.... When you look at the Yellow Jacket promo art, it's definitely a more updated suit, so eventually Lang's suit is going to be even crazier

That explains the 80s-esque suit design.

@DrKinsolving I agree. This suit is awesome, so i can't wait to see what is next.

@EzioKenway1225

Yeah, I'm excited for AOU and Ant-Man....

Really not sure what Fox's FF 4 will be

That re-edited trailer is definitely better.

@SmellofDuty

Definitely, I also think it's cool because it already makes Lang the underdog of sorts.... because he's going against Cross and an updated, more advanced suit

I wonder if the suit will modernize

@DrKinsolving I can't wait to see YellowJacket's costume in action. I'm interested to see what the Doc Ock like legs do.

@SmellofDuty

Exactly, I can't wait, and if there is a battle between the two suits, it will be an old vs new kind of thing which will be awesome. I also want to see what Cross is like, right now I'm picturing him as being similar to Obadiah Stane from Iron Man

@Wannabe Expanding their universe with new characters instead of pumping out sequels?

I have absolutely NO interest in this.
It's fine if they wanna screw around in the MCU – but keep your canon-altering mitts off of 616!
HAILHYDRA
HAILHYDRA - 1/7/2015, 2:00 PM
So people are falsely assuming this is the 616. Just read idiots.
