Ant-Man villain Yellowjacket hasn't been seen until now. We have a photo and fresh details from director Peyton Reed...
NewsWe've seen Ant-Man villain Yellowjacket in promo art, and we've seen Corey Stoll in the trailer, but we have yet to actually see Corey Stoll as Yellowjacket. Well, until now.
Peyton Reed spoke with Entertainment Weekly about Yellowjacket and what this rather cool looking armor can do. “Hank Pym’s Ant-Man suit doesn’t have a single weapon,” he said, “whereas Yellowjacket is armed with plasma cannons.” Fair enough.
Ant-Man isn't helpless, though. "Ant-Man is very fast when he’s small,” Reed says. “Also, when he shrinks, he increases his density, so he’s got increased strength.”
But really, you came here to see Yellowjacket, so here's a photo. I gotta say, I love the designs for the main characters in this one. Check him out:
Our original story from December, with some promotional art that also features Yellowjacket, follows...
This latest piece of promo art (which surfaced on UK licensing firm Aykroyd's website, but comes to us via Major Spoilers) is the first look at Ant-Man baddie, Yellowjacket. Seeing both Ant-Man and Yellowjacket in costume in promo art like this definitely make the movie look like a fairly marketable, toy-friendly affair, something that we've often wondered about when discussing a movie about one of Marvel's lesser known properties like this one.

And here's the official synopsis:
Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, con-man Scott Lang (Rudd) must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym (Douglas), protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.
Ant-Man is directed by Peyton Reed. It stars Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas, Evangeline Lilly, and Corey Stoll as Yellowjacket. It opens on July 15th.
