We spoke w/ MrPeytonReed about his Marvel future, creating Kang the Conqueror with Jonathan Majors, editing AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania, using The Volume technology, and directing TheMandalorian.
Before MCU’s Phase 5 kick-off with Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania was released in theaters, Collider’s Steve Weintraub spoke with director Peyton Reed about all things Marvel. Reed is the filmmaker behind all of the Ant-Man movies, bringing with him not only a love for the little guy, but for Marvel comics, as well.
PEYTON REED: I had gone down to visit [Jon] Favreau on the set of Season 1 Mandalorian because everyone was talking about the volume technology. I love Star Wars and I love Favreau, so when Season 2 came about Jon called and said, “Would you like to come down and do an episode?” I was like, “Yeah, absolutely.” It was the second episode of Season 2 that I originally signed on for, and Jon had written a rough script, and then I fleshed the script out, and we worked on it together.
What was great about The Mandalorian is, shooting these great location backdrops and then putting them up there, and it feels very photo-real, but we were [going to] be creating digital backdrops – some based on real photography – but it was a different thing altogether. We also wanted a lot of movement within those screens. We ended up using the volume technology, [and] it was great for certain environments, but not necessarily right for other ones. There's also just size and shape.
One of the things about this movie is, I think you have five or 10 VFX shots in the film? I'm gonna say that's maybe that's a low number. Were you ever nervous – because the VFX industry is going through some difficulty trying to make release dates – So were you ever nervous about, “Will we get this done in time?”
REED: It’s interesting because, you know, I'm superstitious about this stuff, right? I mean, when we were doing the first Ant-Man there was certainly no guarantee we were going to get to make a second one. And even after the second one, there was no guarantee.
REED: I want to play in a lot of different sandboxes. I would never say no to a future doing stuff at Marvel. I mean, I've loved my time at Marvel, I love the people in Marvel, and I love what they've been able to do. It's strange because 2014 is not that long ago, but the idea of this interconnected universe of movies is a relatively new idea. At that time, right after Iron Man, it was like, “This is weird and kind of revolutionary.” People forget that.
That's what's great about Marvel because there's this infinite… The ones that are interesting to me now are kind of the lesser. I mean, Ant-Man at the time – we knew Ant-Man, he was a founding member of the Avengers, but in terms of the public consciousness, he was probably a B-level, maybe a C-level character. Who knows, it depends on your point of view. I love that about him.
We also talked about, “What would it be like to converse with that guy?” And the idea that he experiences time in a way that there's not one bit of wasted energy. He moves in a very deliberate way, and when he speaks, you know there's an economy of words. If he says something, he means it.
