Peyton Reed is the director of Ant-Man and now its sequel Ant-Man and the Wasp.
Reed admited that he didn?t exactly love the first Ant-Man movie's villain, Darren Cross, aka Yellowjacket.
Speaking to io9, Reed says that he felt like Yellowjacket was a leftover piece of the original Ant-Man vision.
The villain in that movie felt like a bit of a vestige from the era in which that project was started, [which was] around the time of Iron Man 1, where you have an antagonist who has a similar power set [as the hero]. I was hell-bent on doing something different in [Ant-Man and the Wasp].
