When Marvel decided to explore the Quantum Realm for AntManAndTheWasp, director Peyton Reed urged his crew of designers to push themselves further.
for building many of them around real actors. “He had to create all these different races of Freedom Fighters,” the director says. “These we call The Mystics,” Reed says. “They’re this very ornate sort of creature with almost kintsugi gold lines around their faces. They’re the sort of most religious sect of these Freedom Fighters. And we cast very tall people to play these characters. Once you got the headgear on, they were like seven and a half feet tall.
Finally, on the far right, is a member of a class of Freedom Fighters the production called the Steel Group. “They’re very mysterious warriors, and they’re black-clad with these black hoods, and they’re scary. They’re terrifying. You don’t see their faces,” Reed says. But pull back the cloaks and its a cuddle-fest. “We like the idea of the juxtaposition that they were cute, almost like Ewok-y kinds of characters.
“We looked at a lot of electro-microscopy,” Htay says. “We looked at all sorts of particle collisions. When they smash together subatomic particles, [these are] the kind of patterns that you get from that. There are recurring patterns that you see in nature as well, bifurcation and fractals. All of that sort of stuff became part of the language.”
As the chemicals and colors react to each other, the patterns that emerge almost seem to be alive. “They do take on a life of their own,” Reed says. “They’re all moving in a way that’s photochemical, so you could never predict how they’re going to move.”
