    Although unconsciously derived, Peyton Reed recognizes his career-long draw to ego driven struggle and competition within his films like Bring It On and The Break Up. Now, the director sits down with Elvis Mitchell to discuss his Southern roots, musical start in filmmaking and working closely with Stan Lee while navigating conflict in the twelfth installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Ant-Man.
