20%: Talking about Ant-Man and the Wasp 2 80%: Talking about Timber

Ironic how Aldrich Killian, who became a supervillain just for getting rejected, ends up creating another supervillain by rejecting him.

I wish this is what the movie was. I hope you get recognized for your ability to brainstorm better scripts than the people who get paid to write them

The fact that he actually suggested MODOK 3 years the before movie and it happened is proof that this man is a genius.

Feige: That sounds great, we should sign something right now. I'm not sure about the song though, what if... Nando: **walks away**

you should do lengthy pitches like this more often I really like how you used storyboards for this

Eric Probably won’t be able to work at Baskin-Robbins cause Baskin-Robbins always finds out

Nando: "The movie is called 'Ant-Man and the Wasp and the Ant-Man'" Me: "Yes, 1000% yes. That is EXACTLY what this series would do. Yes. Give me that title."

Nando: Subtlety hints toward One Marvelous Scene Playlist and pitches his own movie idea Kevin Feige: Ignores both *Reality is often disappointing*

Nando can fix movies that probably aren't even written yet, truly his power is unlimited

The second that you said his head expanded I was like “MODOK?!?!”

I love this pitch, but I’d change one thing: the initial introduction of Eric. Keep the intro with the year and the exterior of the Triskelion. But instead of starting at Eric’s desk, it starts in a break room/employee lounge, whatever. “Timber” is playing on Eric’s phone as he buys a bag of chips from a vending machine. The bag turns on its way down and gets jammed. Eric bangs on the glass before rocking the machine back and forth. The little locking latch by the coin return pops out; the vending machine is now open. Eric hesitates for a moment before opening the door to grab his jammed chips. He squats down, and that’s when we get our first look at Seann William Scott’s face. He grabs his chips and pauses. He looks around to make sure the coast is clear, then reaches in and takes several more. Like you said; he’s not necessarily a bad guy, just does some questionable, selfish things. He’s on his way back to his desk, staring down at his phone texting, when he accidentally bumps into a coworker. The man recoils. To Eric, the guy’s reaction is overly dramatic. He pulls out one of his earbuds. “Timber” cuts out as Eric begins asking the guy what’s wrong. That’s when he hears Steve Rogers giving his speech about SHIELD’s corruption. The guy Eric bumped into slowly reaches for a pistol. Something happens that distracts him, and Eric throws his many bags of chips into the guy’s face and sprints off as “Timber” starts playing again. That’s where your awesome idea comes back into play.

I am going to tell you this one more time: Release. The. Nando. Cut.

Wait. Waitwaitwait. Ant-Man and the Wasp and the ANT-AGONIST!

Pull a "Fast And Furious" and call the movie "2 Ant-Mans And A Wasp"

“I didn’t get smaller marbles. I just got a bigger jar.” That sounds like such an MCU villain line that I laughed. It’s perfect. Give me this movie now please.

what if we made the title “2 Ant-Men and A Wasp” instead?

Patrick Willems cameo? Stifler himself? A story that utilizes past characters to further enrich the plot? This is too ambitious ... I love it.

Scott: Who are you? Eric: I’m Ant-Man. Scott: No, I’m Ant-Man. Eric: Well, I was Ant-Man first. Hank: No, technically I was Ant-Man first.

that opening timber sequence is genuinely brilliant, and the more i watch this video i get increasingly bitter of what we actually received

-Our limit is the size of our head... -MODOK???!

Eric should absolutely end up working at Baskin Robbins briefly

And now we have MODOK in Quantumania. Well done, sir!

This is much better then the real movie

I knew it was gonna be Eric the minute you casted Stifler.

I'm really going to miss this channel and the podcast when nando is a big time producer

Anyone else rewatching this video after seeing the actual 3rd antman 🐜 movie

I get that they wanted Ant-Man to have a *big* movie and they wanted to set up Kang but this pitch is still more entertaining and encompassing of a trilogy-ender to me than Quantumania was.

Replace Twitter with galaga the game and you have yourself a deal

Nando my boy I love the ideas but you can't keep getting my hopes up like this..

I also want Sam Rockwell's "Justin Hammer" in there somewhere

This is genuinely amazing. Great premise. I could definitely see how colorful this movie could be with MODOK and AIM soldiers with kinds of colorful weapons. This looked way better than the actual Ant Man 3.

an ANT-agonist, you say?

Nando: *his pitch for Ant-Man and the Wasp 2* Kevin Feige: STAY WHERE YOU ARE!!!!!

I just watched this again and realized how similar Mysterio's crew in Far From Home is to your pitch for Modok. The leader of a tech company rips of an underling's technology that utilizes holograms. Then after the leader dies, the underling gets back together with their old research team and further develops and then weaponizes their tech to try and steal another more advanced weapon from the heroes.

Brilliant. Just brilliant. If there's one thing I would change, it'd be "Mental Organism Designed Only for Knowledge." The pronunciation of the acronym is kept, and it sounds much more his speed than "computing."

"Ant-Man and the Wasp and Ant-Man" is such a hilariously brilliant title. Also, seeing MODOK (or in this case, MODOC) on the big screen would be great.

alternative title idea: ANTMEN AND THE WASP

This is my head cannon of what the movie was like from now on

Feels like it should be "The Mental Organism Designed Only for Knowledge"

8:40 the simple handwave for making Pym Particles is that the suit breaks down dense metallic/crystalline structures into Pym Particles, so running it consumed a lot of gold and gemstones. This is another reason why SHIELD didn't want to overuse the suit, and also why Black Ant keeps cheating at casinos and stealing villain's wallets.... Edit: and provides an excuse for MOAR HEISTS

LOVE THE VISUALS. Great way around the copyright laws.

That opening scene leading to Eric O'Grady's reveal is literally perfect.

George: how do we increase our intelligence? Get a bigger jar? Me: Oh, this is M.O.D.O.C. ain't it.

Nando... Slowly becoming legendary!! Would scream if I see this version on screen!

Could you pitch a fantastic 4 in the MCU please?

Ant-Man and the wasp and ant man and the wasp since Cassie is now older. You know what make it Ant man and the wasp and Ant man and the wasp and Ant man and the wasp And the letters start to shrink everytime

"Even if MODOK isn't in the picture, like say he gets arrested at the end of this movie..." This is 100% what should happen. Doesn't die, doesn't get carted off to some super cool S.H.I.E.L.D. super science prison for comic book villains; just one cop, trying his hardest to stuff a giant brain baby into the back of a car.

"I have trouble finding work" BECOME A VILLIAN

i was kind of expecting it to be called, "Ant-Man and the Wasp Again."

“As one of the internet’s leading M.O.D.O.K enthusiast I can confirm that M.O.D.O.K is... Rad.”

Your idea is much better than the real Antman 3 (Quantummania)

ANT-MEN and the WASP Unfortunately Patton Oswalt is developing a MODOK animated show.

Can you pitch a doctordoom movie. Hope Noah Haley gets to direct it?

Revisiting this after seeing ant man 3, I loved this years ago, here to remind myself what it should’ve been

This movie pitch is so much better than what Marvel gave us :(

I totally didn’t see Modok coming, but I’m 100% down with it! He’s one of my favorite Marvel characters too!

I would love to see a Marvel movie written by Nando :D. Make it happen Kevin Feige.

I’m only now seeing this video and this would’ve made such a cool antman 3

this would be infinitely better than the movie we got

I really like that name, lol. I also think that making old movies better by recontextualizing villains and old events is really neat. Agents of Shield did that and it was badass.

The first scene of the next ant-man film should be Luis explaining endgame to his friends!

This is better than the ant man we got

There's one thing you didn't address that's pretty important: Cassie. They've pretty overtly indicated that they're indeed going to make her become Stinger, and now she's officially been time-skipped to an age where she can feasibly become a hero. I feel she's definitely gonna be used to a more significant and proactive extent in the next film as a way to lead into that.

Love it, great concept! Only question is how would you fit in a lengthy intro for Eric and one for MODOK without messing up the flow of the plot?

The hand drawn art makes your shtick amazing and complete, Nando. Hope you can keep that collaboration going for future videos.

Zoom in on a man, he's listening to Kesha (by choice) "We automatically like this guy" Yeah about that...

I love how you didn't really spoil an ending so they can still safely do it

The shot with the MODOK's head growing should definitely show the jars of marbles with his shadow over them, maybe the shadow covers the smaller jar before growing to also cover the larger one

Yes! I have been waiting for this. I'll be watching it on my lunch break.

Well you got M.O.D.O.K

I also think that Cassie Lang as Stature could be a great addition and it would make the title even more comical Ant-Man and the Wasp and the Ant-Man and Stature.

Really like the illustrations to go along with it. Makes it a lot more fun and engaging. Great work yet again!

This could even lead to Taskmaster/Thunderbolts/Avengers Idea Mechanics/ etc. All we need is Sunspot.

"Hey you! What are you doing? Where's your lanyard?"

If they don’t just call it ant-man and the wasp 2: electric boogaloo

As amazing as nando content is it’s a crime that he has 200,000 subs.. it’s laughable. His content is well made well edited. N very insightful. Great work

Should somebody call George "Captain Marbels" at some point?

I think the scientists of AIM should have a motto that they'd use throughout the movie, to keep sight of their goals: "AIM for the stars."

Can I pledge 5 dollars to Kickstart this?

“Hi Mr. Feige” Well someone’s a little confident

I went "it's gonna be MODOK isn't it" the moment he said "make a bigger brain"

"Timber will remind people what 2014 was like" Terrible?

Man, this was a way better idea.

I was initially against the Eric O Grady mirror villain, but I'm 100% behind getting the real AIM in the MCU

wait so you're not associated with Nando's Peri-Peri?

Most of this pitch is flashbacks. Would this movie have 2 hooks at the beginning?

If there's a monologue it has to some How be delivered by Michael Penna.

I am constantly confounded that you're not actively screenwriting for either the MCU or the DCEU. Jesus, someone hire this man!

I love the video and the ideas presented here. My one concern however from a writing perspective is it might mess with the pacing of the story to have two long flashback sequences to establish villains, this more applies to Modok's backstory than Eric's. I think it would instead be better to have Modok's flashback just be a literal flashback, just quick visual shots (can even narrated/monologued by present Modok or someone close to him) that could explain his rise to power and experiments quickly, rather than interrupting the flow of the present story to establish him.

Wild that they’re actually using MODOK but your origins are so different (seemingly from trailers)

"Back to formula?" Be careful you don't pull a spiderman 3

I've really just started this, but I love the little Agents of SHIELD cameo, one of my favourite shows and I'm glad someone acknowledges them in this universe

Ant-Man... and the Wasp... and THE ANT-MAN! That would be incredible!

This is so much better than the actual Ant-Man 3. And I like your film's title too!

I can tell how much work went into this. Even if it's not used, this is great. (Probably better than whatever Marvel comes up with.) Great job, Nando!

The main issue with this pitch would be how it would manage the two origin stories since there are some vast differences between the two and it *could* become confusing if placed one after another as you have presented. That aside, great work on the pitch!! Your version of Eric's origin has some nice vibes to it

Got goosebumps from that opening scene my dude! Wow we love you so much. Never stop!

the moment of realisation that it was going to be Eric O'Grady in the opening was amazing! I would much rather have this than Quantamania (as excited for that as I am) Edit again: my excitement for quantamania aged poorly
