Edgar Wright will be making his full-fledged entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe when Ant-Man begins filming later this year for release two summers from now. The universally-adored Hot Fuzz filmmaker recently announced that he will be bringing a pair of old friends to serve in important roles behind the scenes.

First up, Bill Pope will be Ant-Man‘s director of photography, and his name should be familiar to lovers of fantastic cinema the world over. Pope’s past credits as cinematographer include Army of Darkness, The Matrix and its two sequels, and both Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3. He also served as DP on Wright’s last two films, Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World and The World’s End. Pope is one of the best cinematographers of dynamic action working in the film industry and his experience with capturing large-scale superheroics with vibrant style and color makes him a natural fit for Edgar Wright’s latest splashy extravaganza.
