This film was unlike any I've worked on in all my time at Marvel Studios, and it's because of a guy named Taika Waititi. He's such a character, not just as a person but also as a storyteller. He's got such a strong sense of humor and a unique visual sensibility. He wanted to create a look and feel for this film that was anything but safe. He pushed the creative team to places that were bordering on uncomfortable. But that's what I appreciated about him, as a concept designer you get a feel for what can work and what can't. He pushed our whole department to try things that went even too far at times, but by going through those experiments, we were able to find designs that were fresh and new. He reinvigorated the whole Thor franchise. Next up, Ant-Man and the Wasp. This was probably my favorite film to work on due to many factors. I designed Ant-Man for both his initial solo film, as well as his updated look in Captain America: Civil War, so I had a real attachment to the character. I also designed the Wasp look for the end tag in the first film. She almost made her debut in an early draft of Civil War, but ultimately, the powers that be (thankfully) decided against this. Since I designed the two title characters, I of course, would have a great investment into this film. But the other reason I enjoyed leading this film so much was A B C A.
