In anticipation of the new Quantumania film, I thought I'd go back and tackle the first film. While not bad by any stretch, just a little stock standard.
This is a tighter and more focused edit on Scott, as we don't meet Hank or Hope until he does. Falcon also doesn't appear in the film, aside from a small cameo at the end, as Scott doesn't infiltrate the Avengers HQ anymore to get a small piece of tech. It was not in the original Edgar Wright/Joe Cornish script and the plot kind of stops for it. As fun as it is, it's like Dr Strange in Thor: Ragnarok, and the film can move without it. There's a few other trims and cuts, just getting the plot moving a little faster.
2 deleted scenes have been added, one is a new introduction to Hank as Scott pretends to be a cable guy to case his house before breaking in, and the other is an expositional scene with Hank explaining basically everything that had happened at Pym Tech with Cross, Ant-Man, Yellowjacket and Carson, and what the plan will be. It would be redundant in the actual film, but here it explains everything I've cut out, so it works.
CHANGES
- cut prologue with Young Hank, Howard Stark, Peggy Carter and the other guy that shows up later
- cut the whole presentation Cross does with Hank, Yellowjacket, etc.
- cut Cross turning the guy into jam
- move Cross and Hope at dinner until later
- add deleted scene of Scott casing Hank's house (this is now the first time we meet him)
- cut failed shrink test with the lamb jam
- cut Scott sticking his hand up to ask a question at breakfast
- move Cross and Hope's dinner to after he successfully shrinks a lamb
- add deleted scene with Hank providing exposition about basically everything that was cut out (Cross, Yellowjacket, Ant-Man, Pym Tech)
- cut Scott going to the Avengers Compound and fighting Falcon
- recontexualise the post-Avengers Compound conversation into Hank generally congratulating Scott for doing Ant-Man stuff, instead of being for the Falcon fight
- cut the heist gang in the situation room (doesn't do anything we don't know already)
- cut Hank trying to reason with Paxton and Gale (If I don't get in this building, people will die)
- cut reference to the Avengers Compound fight from Cross
- cut Civil War post-credits and added something new
Theatrical - 1:56:59
PPP Cut - 1:43:17
Added - 3:49
Cut - 17:31
Here's the new recontexualisation of the post-Avengers Compound hiest, which bridges a cut of 5 minutes of stuff.
And here is the new intro to Hank Pym, with both of them playing a bit of pretend to get something out of the other.
A preview cut has been uploaded and is ready for viewing.
