Leading frontm an Paul Rudd stars as Scott Lang, aka Ant-Man himself, who scaled things down to gravity-defying heights. In the movie, former criminal Scott Lang struggles to draw out his inner strength and master the mind-bending abilities of the Ant-Man suit. Originally designed by Hank Pym decades before Lang discovered it, the suit has the power to shrink the wearer while maximizing physical strength. Protagonist Scott Lang must become the Ant Man in order to fight and prevent Darren Cross from terrorizing the world using his modern day Yellowjacket suit.<\/p>\n<p>Costume Designers Sammy Sheldon and Ivo Ceveney were the team behind the high-tech and fully functional superhero suit. Using nature as inspiration, the pair researched various types of insects, studying their size, shape, colors and textures. Keeping a color palette using shades of red and black, the team rose to the challenge of creating a suit with an insect-like quality. The armored suit carries a heavy moto-inspired quality, and when under the spotlight, the insect inspiration lends a layered, textured effect.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast from the nostalgic 60\u2019s Ant Man suit, the designers took a modern approach when creating Yellowjacket suit for Darren Cross. Sleek and streamlined, the Yellowjacket suit allows for similar shrinking tech to the wearer, yet it\u2019s body-skimming design resembles the armored shell of an exoskeleton. After the credits, fans caught a sneak peek of the Wasp suit, intended for front woman Evangeline Lilly, who plays Hope Van Dyne. <\/p>\n<p>Delicate yet deadly, this metallic suit with layered stripes of blue and orange, and transparent sleeves, is made for business. Although the Marvel Cinematic Universe remains mute about Lilly\u2019s appearance as Wasp in the upcoming Captain America movie, we can\u2019t help but speculate after this mega teaser trailer. As we bide our time for news, fans can console themselves by getting to work on some seriously tough cosplays for Comic Con.<\/p>\n<p>Written by Jade Nicolette<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style
