Marvel's most unlikely hero,
'Ant-Man', bursts on to the big screen this Summer and like all good origin stories, the tale of how this superhero movie was made was also fraught with its fair share of intrigue, trouble and strife. After being developed since 2006 by co-writer and director
Edgar Wright,
Peyton Reed was brought on board to replace the director in 2014. Fortunately
Paul Rudd stuck around to play the size-changing, reformed criminal
'Scott Lang', whilst
Michael Douglas was cast as the comic book's original
Ant-Man, 'Dr. Hank Pym'.

Paul Rudd's original
Ant-Man costume was photographed on display in the foyer of the
ArcLight Hollywood cinema on June 21, 2015.
Sammy Sheldon was
Costume Designer on the movie, and is also known for her fantastic work on
V for Vendetta, X-Men: First Class, Kick-Ass, Hellboy 2 and
The Imitation Game.

In this
Marvel Studios adaptation of the original
Avenger, Scott Lang is recruited by
Hank Pym and given super-suit which allows him to shrink in size, increase his strength and control an army of ants to help pull off the ultimate heist to protect mankind.
Marvel's Ant-Man movie suit in more detail
At first glance
Ant-Man may not seem as mighty as the other
Avengers, but I'm sure this hero from
Phase Two of
Marvel's Cinematic Universe will be a new favourite at conventions and
Halloween in the future. Enjoy the photos, I hope the details help all the costumers, cosplayers and comic book fans out there.
If you're a
Marvel fan, be sure to also check out all these
Avengers: Age of Ultron costumes,
Guardians of the Galaxy movie costumes,
Thor: The Dark World costumes and props,
Iron Man 3 armours and even
costumes from The Amazing Spider-man 2.
I'm fortunate enough to be going the
Hollywood premiere next Monday, so can't wait to see this suit (and a super-toned
Paul Rudd) in action in what looks like a pretty funny, action-packed film.
