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.
