User blog comment:The Many-Angled One/Hank Pym WAS Ant-Man in Earth-199999!/@comment-11220539-20141126063810

Well Edgar Wright's original intention was to have Hank as the Ant-Man in the 60s

Wright: Well, the thing is that what we want to do, the idea that we have for the adaptation is to actually involve both. Is to have a film that basically is about Henry Pym and Scott Lang, so you actually do a prologue where you see Pym as Ant-Man in action in the 60′s, in sort of “Tales to Astonish” mode basically, and then the contemporary, sort of flash-forward, is Scott Lang’s story, and how he comes to acquire the suit, how he crosses paths with Henry Pym, and then, in an interesting sort of Machiavellian way, teams up with him.
