'Ant-Man' Cast News: Director Confident Movie Will Be Well Received

'Ant-Man' may be Marvel's most riskiest venture yet, and while trailers have been received with positive response, fans are still curious if Peyton Reed has what it takes to present the character effectively on the big screen.

In a recent on set visit, Cinema Blend had the opportunity to sit down with the director to discuss some of these concerns. While he understands how it can initially be interpreted to be somewhat ridiculously, he's confident fans will take it well.

I really like the idea that anybody walking into the movie theater lobby could see a poster for Ant-Man where it's going to be Paul riding an ant or whatever, and think, 'Well, that looks ridiculous," Reed said. "How is Ant-Man going to be cool?' This movie is answering in a very definitive way how it can be cool."

He also takes time out to address the switch in directors regarding Edgar Wright.

"As a filmmaker, you maybe tend to only get one chance to be an underdog, like maybe your first movie - and it either does well or it doesn't, and then you don't have that position anymore," Reed responds.

The director also addresses the weirdest power of the superhero to represent on screen.

"The controlling of the ants is the weirder power, and the one I'm more into in a weird way, because you have this sort of freedom to create these situations with this army of ants and to see how something so small can be mobilized," Reed explains.

Actor Paul Rudd makes his debut as the titular hero on July 17.
