Ant-Man and The Wasp Editor Talks Integrating Wasp and Spider-Man: Far From Home

Marvel editor Dan Lebental has worked on quite a few projects within the cinematic universe. He got his start on Iron Man and continued to work on  Iron Man 2, Thor: The Dark World, Ant-Man, and Spider-Man: Homecoming. Lebental, along with Craig Wood (who has edited both of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies) also edited the upcoming Ant-Man and The Wasp. Lebental is currently in London to work on Spider-Man: Far From Home, and The Hollywood Reporter asked what he enjoyed the most about the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The goal was always to take this genre and infuse it with real human emotions. It has been rewarding in the sense that we advanced the genre past two-dimensional characters. I personally get great joy out of working comedy into the stories. As long as the comedy doesn't betray the stakes, then it becomes another added dimension.

The Wasp is bringing a very different dynamic to the movie, and Lebental spoke about how that dynamic will affect Scott Lang.

Ant-Man now has to find the balance that will allow him to be the hero and yet still fulfill his responsibilities to those he loves. … Wasp is the smarter, more qualified and better trained hero who finally has her chance to shine. And she storms into this movie with relish. She is played by Evangeline Lily in a very realistic way and not feminized with unrealistic beauty shots.

Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, Lebental couldn't say much about Spider-Man: Far From Home — but he did assure everyone of two things.

I can't say much about the new Spider Man, but I will offer up that it will be both grander in scale and even funnier than the last one. The rest of the story will have to wait.

We'll get some more teases for Spider-Man: Far From Home as the movie shoots this summer and going into 2019.

Summary: As Scott Lang balances being both a Super Hero and a father, Hope van Dyne and Dr. Hank Pym present an urgent new mission that finds the Ant-Man fighting alongside The Wasp to uncover secrets from their past.

Ant-Man and The Wasp, directed by Peyton Reed, stars Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Hannah John-Kamen, Michael Douglas, and Michael Peña. It will be released on July 6th.
