CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, "Ant-Man" director Peyton Reed described what it was like to know that Paul Rudd's Scott Lang would appear in "Captain America: Civil War": "When Paul went to shoot for a couple days on 'Civil War,' I felt really envious. I felt like my girlfriend had left me and gone off with the other guy... I felt very protective about the character."
However, "Civil War" directors Joe and Anthony Russo worked closely with Reed so that they could get Ant-Man's character right. "I was like, 'No he wouldn't say that, he would say this!' It was great. It was a great back and forth." Reed also revealed that he had screened plenty of "Ant-Man" footage for the Russos.

OUTCAST
Fox International has announced via press release that "Social Network" and "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" composer Atticus Ross has signed on to score Cinemax's adaptatoin of the Robert Kirkman comic "Outcast."
"Who can't recall the shrieking violins in the Psycho shower scene or the repetitious two-notes that play before a shark attack in Jaws?" said Kirkman in the press release. "A haunting and epic score is critical in the telling of horror on any screen, and we're privileged to have Atticus on board to help illustrate Kyle Barnes' story."
"I'm excited to be working with Robert Kirkman and the whole Outcast team. Hopefully we'll be able provide sonic justice for Robert's depraved and brilliant vision." said Ross.

SPIDER-MAN
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige spoke with Collider about the decision to hire director Jon Watts for the upcoming "Spider-Man" and actor Tom Holland's audition for the titular role with Iron Man himself, Robert Downey Jr.
In regards to Watts, Feige said, "Jon just -- we really liked his movie 'Cop Car,' we met with him four, five, or six times, and each time he had more and more interesting things to say. And at Marvel, it always comes down to ultimately, 'We can make a movie with this person for two years, we could spend almost every day with this person for two years. Let's go.'"
The statement shows how important it is for Marvel to enjoy themselves and get along (it seems) while making these films -- a positive attitude often reflected in the films themselves.
As for Holland's interview with Downey Jr., many speculated that it meant Holland would appear in the upcoming "Captain America: Civil War" as Spider-Man. However, Feige's answers regarding the audition process gave nothing away. When asked if they used actual dialogue or it was new, he said:
"It was a combination, it was mainly written for the screen test though... they're usually just bespoke for a test with different names and things. So they call each other different names."
The stars of Marvel Studios' "Ant-Man," including Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas, Evangeline Lilly and Michael Peña, spoke with IGN and gave advice to incoming "Spider-Man" star Tom Holland.
