Avengers: Endgame
Ant - Manand The Waspdirector Peyton Reed confirm he avail the Russo Brothers with their version of Scott Lang inAvengers 4 . Before the Marvel Cinematic Universe was conceptualized , Ant - Manwas one of the early Marvel Studios motion picture in product under the direction of Edgar Wright . However once Kevin Feige ’s grand plan lead off to take form , Wright step down and was replaced byPeyton Reed . Paul Rudd ’s Lang would go on to appear inCaptain America : Civil Warand although he wasnotably absentinAvengers : Infinity War , both Lang and Hope van Dyneare place to featurein the forthcomingAvengers 4 .
A key component of the MCU are the moments when characters cross over , team - up or otherwise mingle with figures outside of their own solo flick , however it is n’t just the heroes who are banding together to achieve something neat - the Marvel Studios directors are at it , too . In the build - up to the loss ofInfinity War , it was confirmed thatGuardians of the Galaxydirector James Gunn had a degree of input into thecharacterization and dialogueof the Guardians in the thirdAvengersmovie and it look that this exercise is cursorily becoming standard procedure .

Screen Rant spoke to Peyton Reed on the film director ’s promotional rounds forAnt - Manand the Waspand asked whether he had been as active with Scott Lang inAvengers 4as Gunn had been with Star Lord and co. inInfinity War . Reed reply :
" Yeah . There ’s a good deal of cross talk , which is great , you hump , among directors . Even on the first movie I had the Russos descend in and await at other cutting off just to see how Paul ( Rudd ) was playing Scott Lang to inform what they did in Civil War . And Marcus and McFeely , who are writing the Avengers movies , we all speak about what the overall arcs are start to be so everyone is in sync with all this stuff and nonsense . I ca n’t say much more than that or I ’m going to get a Wasp dart in my neck . But yeah , that ’s one of the exciting thing is celebrate this pic a self - contained matter but plain being mindful of how things agree into the larger existence . It ’s a really fun , originative exercise . "
This kind of co - surgical process between directors is undoubtedly an essential part of the MCU ’s achiever . With various character appear in both solo films and team - ups , it ’s vital that a level of character consistency is maintained so as to make the MCU as credible as possible as a fictional world . There ’s no point in Scott Lang being a wise - cracking smartass inAnt - Man , only for anAvengersdirector to hail in and deliver a wholly different rendering of the character and it ’s this level of authenticity that divide the MCU from a more traditional " series " franchise likeJames Bondor theBatmanmovies of the 1990s where raw managing director can come in and give their own take on the character and textile .
The constant communicating Reed speak of is also suggestive of the level of dedication exhibit by many of the Marvel Studios directors and although their decision to differentiate long account arcs over the trend of several film is improbably challenging , the hard study is telling in the ruined Cartesian product and is a cardinal conflict between the MCU and other , less successful , shared universe franchises . Ant - Man and The Wasp ’s titular heroes may have been absent in the first rotund battle against Thanos but many will be hope that Reed ’s coaction with the Russos indicates a sizable part for the duo inAvengers4 .
