During a press junket with Ant-Man stars Paul Rudd and Corey Stoll. Rudd and Stoll both took the opportunity to talk about their suits. While Rudd really enjoyed wearing his suit, Stoll didn't actually have a physical suit, as his suit was entirely CGI. He said they tried to make it a practical suit. "We went through several iterations and it just was not working. So in the end it was completely CGI. And of course I had been working out like a fiend to be able to look good in this suit and in the end it just turned out to be for the behind the stage footage of me in my pajamas."
During the interview, Paul Rudd said that he was biased about his Ant-man suit because he loved it and it was the coolest suit of them all. He loved wearing it even if it was uncomfortable and even wore it on his days off from filming the movie. Rudd added, "And you know they keep the sound stages a little bit cooler because you know it doesn't really breathe THAT well.
Paul Rudd even went as far as to work out for the movie, trying to get the "Cris Pratt approach" as he likes to call it, which is just basically eliminating anything fun for about a year. He said that it is a good way to prepare for a role as a super hero. He also said that staying in shape and working out was very helpful in his role as Ant-man. Ant-Man opens in movie theaters on July 17, 2015.
