Ant-Man hit the red carpet at Comic-Con and began the process of selling audiences on the revamped version by director Peyton Reed and Marvel's team of screenwriters. But has the estranged director Edgar Wright reached out to Reed to send him some thoughts?

Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, the team that included Reed, Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas and Evangeline Lilly dished on what they liked most about the tiny hero.

"There are levels. There are some pretty bad thieves and there's some really good thieves, let's be honest. There's people who do it for the right reasons," Rudd said of his character Scott Lang.

"You don't want to give away too much here. The blow-dart might come out. Right in your neck. Marvel's serious, they have blow darts aimed at all of us right now."

Douglas chimed in on why his character, Hank Pym, calls on Lang to help him out. "Darren Cross, my partner, my mentor, my nemesis, has taken my company and taken it in a different direction," Douglas said. "I need help, I desperately need help. I need someone who's a master thief, someone with a brilliant mind, and somebody who can pull off a really great heist."

Reed talks about the filming process that is starting up in a few weeks and why they would be able to meet the July deadline for when the film is released next year.

"Everybody from the cast and the crew are like A-plus-plus. And the stuff that we're doing in terms of the visuals of the movie is going to be unlike any other Marvel movie," Reed said.

"I mean, it's different than the other superhero movies because it takes place in the real world but we experience it from a radically different perspective. In terms of the shrinking stuff, you're going to see stuff that just has never been done in a movie."

As for the former director Wright, Reed said that he has exchanged some emails with him, but wouldn't go into detail as to what they said.

"Edgar and I did exchange some emails, yeah," Reed said. "Actually very good emails."

Ant-Man hits theaters on July 17, 2015.
