I'd love to see this and add it to the collection. Loved the previous edit of Ant-man.

Final changelist;

- added alternate take of Scott doing close-up magic (from the gag reel)

- added Sonny finding security footage of Hank shrinking the lab (from Blu-Ray Deleted Scenes)
- cut Scott's "you're with her? I thought you were cool"
- re-edited Ghost's origin exposition to add some footage from the new opening, just to make the link between her and Hank concrete
- cut Kurt singing the Baba Yaga song, as the earlier mention was cut out

- added additional line from Whale Boat Captain Daniel Gooobler (from Blu-Ray outtakes)
- added scene with Hank and Janet in the Quantum Realm encountering a Quantum Creature (from Blu-Ray Deleted Scenes)
- cut awkward exchange with Agent Woo and Scott, the whole thing about dinner and seeing you later

Thank you so much for cutting "we're gonna die." Well past time to retire that stock line.

Both the IMAX and widescreen versions of this edit are avalible for those who might prefer one over the other.
The IMAX stuff is pretty much all the action sequences, and all of the third act, so the AR will shift, but I've ensured that it's all smooth transitions and everything. It's not like it's shot to shot or anything crazy though.
