Ant-Man DVD: 10 Things We Learned From Director's Commentary

6. Stan Lee Was Super-Psyched About The Movie

What's nice is that throughout the commentary Rudd and Reed repeatedly mention how pleased Stan Lee was to finally get a chance to see Ant-Man up on the big screen, with his powers done justice. Lee himself said that Ant-Man was built for the big screen, with even the limitless artistry of Tales to Astonish not able to properly do the sense of size and scale when he shrinks down justice For anyone who knows about Stan Lee' storied past with Marvel Comics - and if you don't, Sean Howe's Marvel Comics: The Untold Story is a good start - you'll know that Stan the Man tried for years to get his superhero projects off the ground in Hollywood, correctly surmising that if done well they could be blockbuster smashes. Two of the titles he tried to have adapted the most? Ant-Man and Doctor Strange. The former obviously being one of last year's success stories, and the latter shaping up to be the trippiest superhero story this side of Howard The Duck. The old man must be positively giddy at seeing his dreams come true.
