Building the Super Hero Suit of "Ant-Man"
Costume designer Sammy Sheldon Differ and head suit designer Ivo Coveney were tasked with designing and creating from scratch all of the practical suits that Paul Rudd would wear in Marvel's “Ant-Man.”
The first step in the process was deciding on the style and materials that would comprise the suit design. “Because the Ant-Man suit was supposed to have been made in the ’60s, Sammy and I were very keen on trying to make it have an older vintage feel,” explains Coveney. “I’ve deliberately left screws showing how some things are put together because we just felt that it needed to have a strong retro look, but still look cool and modern, which is quite a difficult thing to achieve.”
