Last week, Collider partnered up withIMAXand directorPeyton Reedfor a special screening ofAnt-Man and the Waspat IMAX HQ followed by an extended Q&A. During the 80-minute (!) Q&A, Reed talked about how the story came together, how they handled the digital de-aging, the rules of the Quantum Realm, Easter eggs that have yet to be discovered, deleted scenes, how they handled the post-credits scene and the ending of the film, how he worked with the writers, theRussoBrothersandChristopher MarkusandStephen McFeely, his memories ofStan Lee, how even though all the Marvel movies have different directors they still feel like they’re part of the same universe, how he ended up voicing someBeavis and Buttheadcharacters, and so much more it would be impossible to list everything here.
Trust me, if you’re a Marvel fan and want to learn howAnt-Man and the Waspwas made, you’re going to learn a lot watching this Q&A. Check out whatPeyton Reedhad to say in the player above and below is exactly what we talked about.
