- about this little perfect job.

- No way.

No, no, no. Wait!

This guy... This guy fits your M.O.

No!

I'm finished, man.

I'm not going back to jail.

It's some retired millionaire

living off his golden parachute.

It's a perfect Scott Lang mark!

I don't care. I'm out.

Dr. Pym?

Yes. I'm still alive.

ID?

Perhaps that will suffice.

Very sorry, sir. Please come in.

Is that Hank Pym?

Good morning, Hank.

Hope.

Would it kill you to call me Dad?

Dr. Cross will be so pleased that

you could find the time to join us today.

More like "thrilled."

I was surprised to receive

any kind of invitation from you, Darren.

What's the occasion?

Oh, you'll see. Won't he, Hope?

We're ready for you inside.

Ouch.

I guess some old wounds

never heal, huh?

Don't worry, she's in good hands.

You're in for a treat.

Long time, no see, Dr. Pym.

How's retirement?

How's your face?

After you.

Now, before we start,

I'd like to introduce a very special guest.

This company's founder and my mentor,

Dr. Hank Pym.

When I took over this company

for Dr. Pym,

I immediately started

researching a particle

that could change

the distance between atoms,

while increasing density and strength.

Why this revolutionary idea

remained buried

beneath the dust and cobwebs of

Hank's research, I couldn't tell you.

But just imagine,

a soldier the size of an insect.

The ultimate secret weapon.

An Ant-Man.

That's what they called you.

Right, Hank?

Silly, I know.

Propaganda.

Tales to astonish!

Trumped-up BS to scare the USSR.

Hank, will you tell our guests

what you told me

every single time I asked you,

"Was the Ant-Man real?"

Just a tall tale.

Right.

Because how could anything

so miraculous possibly be real?

Well, I was inspired by the legend

of the Ant-Man.

And with my breakthrough

shrinking inorganic material,

I thought, could it be possible

to shrink a person?

Could that be done?

Well, it's not a legend anymore.

Distinguished guests,

I am proud to present

the end of warfare as we know it.

The Yellowjacket!

Oh, no.

The Yellowjacket is an all-purpose

weapon of war

capable of altering the size of the wearer

for the ultimate combat advantage.

We live in an era

in which the weapons

we use to protect ourselves

are undermined

by constant surveillance.

It's time to return to a simpler age.

One where the powers of freedom

can once again operate openly

to protect their interests.

An all-purpose peace-keeping vessel,

the Yellowjacket

can manage any conflict

on the geopolitical landscape

completely unseen.

Efficient in both preventative measures

and tactical assault.

Practical applications

include surveillance,

industrial sabotage,

Edgar Wright

Edgar Howard Wright (born 18 April 1974) is an English director, screenwriter and producer. He began making independent short films before making his first feature film A Fistful of Fingers (1995). Wright created and directed the comedy series Asylum in 1996, written with David Walliams. After directing several other television shows, Wright directed the sitcom Spaced (1999–2001), which aired for two series and starred frequent collaborators Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. In 2004, Wright directed the first film in the Three Flavours Cornetto, the horror comedy Shaun of the Dead, starring Pegg and Frost. The film was co-written with Pegg—as were the next two entries in the trilogy, Hot Fuzz (2007) and The World's End (2013), which Wright directed and also starred the pair. In 2010, Wright co-wrote, produced, and directed the comedy action film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Along with Joe Cornish and Steven Moffat, he co-wrote Steven Spielberg's The Adventures of Tintin (2011). Wright and Cornish co-wrote the screenplay for the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Ant-Man in 2015, which Wright intended to direct but abandoned, citing creative differences. His latest film, the action comedy Baby Driver, was released in 2017. Wright has also directed numerous music videos, including The Bluetones' "Keep the Home Fires Burning" (2000), The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster's "Psychosis Safari" (2002), Mint Royale's "Blue Song" (2002), Pharrell Williams' "Gust of Wind" (2014), and Beck’s "Colors" (2018). more…
