“Ant-Man” may have appeared to be serious when its first trailer was released, but Screen Rant has insisted that it will actually be more of a comedy, something similar to “The Guardians of the Galaxy.” Bobby Cannavale, who plays the role of Paxton, even said shooting it “felt like an indie film.”
“Peyton Reed and the studio were not mercurial about the script,” he said, according to Comic Book Movie. “They were not mercurial about the humor at all. They let us be in charge of that. Judy Greer is very funny. Paul Rudd is very funny – he is a great improviser.”
“It felt like Marvel was going for something different!” he added. Cannavale enjoyed how the upcoming Marvel blockbuster “brought a certain levity to a superhero movie.”
Cannavale also revealed that he encountered some problems while filming the movie. He had difficulty understanding how to adapt to certain scenes, particularly ones that made use of the blue screens. To figure out how he should act for the role, he admitted that he had to “ask ridiculous questions all the time.”
Cannavale's natural inquisitiveness then became a joke on the set.
“Cannavale, it is a superhero movie, dude. Just do it! It is not ‘The Unbearable Lightness of Being.’ It is just fricking ‘Ant-Man!’” Reed would tell him jokingly.
Cannavale, Rudd, and Greer will be joined in the cast by Evangeline Lilly, Hayley Atwell, Michael Douglas, Michael Pena, and Carey Stoll. “Ant-Man” has already been slated for a July 17 release.
