Edgar Wright’s Ant-Man Test Footage Is Here (Sort of [Vaguely])
Ant-Man director Edgar Wright debuted his Ant-Man test footage at this year’s SDCC, and then didn’t release it, because why would you want to get people interested in your movie? Don’t be absurd. Happily, Deviantartist Samurai Jack decided to take matters into his own hands and recreated the footage in animated storyboards. It’s.. quite short, actually. And since the whole thing was about seeing the special effects in action, seeing drawings of said special effects is kind of missing the whole point. Still: Ant-Man test footage! Woo! Woo! …wooooo?
