"I want to make him into a badass [laughs]," states Wright. "No, I always liked that comic and I always thought it would be an interesting thing to see in live-action. That's why I [showed] that Comic-Con test that we did for Marvel, to show this fight scene like a proof of concept, like this is what the action is going to look like. I think a lot of people who maybe don't know the character sort of see that test and go, 'Oh, right, I get it. It's like an action film,' so that's the idea. I think people will be surprised by what kind of movie it is, and so in that respect it's something that I know is going to stand out because it's got a very different story and is a very different [film]."
Wright then went on to touch upon the film's tone, revealing that it Ant-Man should fit in nicely with the previous instalments of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in terms of its balance between humour and action: " I think the Marvel movies are funny, you know? I think generally the Iron Man films and The Avengers are funny. They're not ever in the comedy section, but they are funny and entertaining, so I think it'll be something in a similar vein to that."
Ant-Man is currently set for release on July 31st 2015.
