FUN FACTS

• Marvel Comics first introduced brilliant scientist Dr. Hank Pym and his alter ego, Ant-
  Man, in 1962 with the publication of “Tales to Astonish #27.” He would later appear
  with the Avengers in the team’s debut in “Avengers #1” in 1963.
• The Wasp, a founding member of the Avengers alongside Ant-Man, and its first Super
  Heroine, first appeared in Marvel Comics’ “Tales to Astonish #44” in 1963.
• The Wasp’s introduction marks the first female character to be featured in the title
  treatment of a Marvel Studios film.
•  The set for Hank Pym’s newest lab is a spectacle that was constructed and finished over
  a 4-month period on a 15,000 square-foot sound stage at Pinewood Atlanta.
•  Courtesy of an industrial-sized 3D printer, the production design team was able to print
  well over 8,000 pieces to comprise many of the fun elements within the lab set.
• The costume design team fabricated a total of 64 specialty costumes, including dozens
  of helmets, belts, backpacks and gauntlets. This would include 14 versions of Ant-Man’s
  suit, 15 for Wasp, 12 for Ghost, 8 suits for Hank and 15 suits for Janet.
• Audiences were given a hint of what was to come in “Ant-Man” when Hank Pym
  unveiled a prototype of the Wasp suit in the film’s final scene. But that was an old
  prototype from the 1980s. The new Wasp suit embraces the new technology that has
  evolved since the prototype was made and also sports a sleek, contemporary look.
  Ultimately, the suit was made with a form-fitting base layer with multiple semi-rigid
  molded pieces laid over it, plus boots and a helmet.
• The Wasp’s signature wings are incorporated into the design of the suit in closed mode
  but when expanded and ready for flight they become a digital add-on, courtesy of
  Stephane Ceretti’s visual effects team.
• Paul Rudd gets a modernized version of the original leather suit he debuted in “Ant-
  Man,” which had more of a vintage feel reflecting its 1960s origins. Gone is the leather:
  the new suit is made from streamlined tactile fabric that is enhanced with a three-
  dimensional print, giving it a modern look with a tighter fit.
• For the shrinking elements, the production design team built miniature sets, filming
  them with motion picture macrophotography and still macrophotography. The actors
  and their stunt doubles were filmed in motion capture, which was supervised by the
  visual effects team, in order to digitally place them within the macro world.
