I’ve been compelled to go off the rails everytime Marvel adheres to a gimmick to sell director Peyton Reed‘s latest contribution to the third phase of the Marvel Universe, Ant-Man. Its pointless trailer teasers last week (Ant and “normal” sized) and the new official poster have left me shaking my head and hoping this moment would come sooner without me choking someone.
Thankfully we’ve now arrived here, accompanied on the eve of the two-hour premiere of Marvel’s Agent Carter on ABC which finally brings the first official teaser of Ant-Man. That said, a lot of opinions have been circulating, both in support, as well as critical of whether or not this particular film was necessary while many fans have still been dealing with Marvel’s non-inclusion of Spider-Man for its Avengers saga (and I’ve pretty much given up with catching up on Spider-Man what with all the Sony drama, so I’m just waiting until something solid knocks on my door).
In any case, Ant-Man‘s got his fanbase, and I’m particularly curious to see how he will help embody the third leg of the Marvel movie line-up, especially since Agent Carter’s Hayley Atwell will be appearing. Comic book aficionados may have an idea about how that will all go down, so of course the rest of us will have to wait and see on July 17, 2015.
SYNOPSIS:
The next evolution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe brings a founding member of The Avengers to the big screen for the first time with Marvel Studios’ Ant-Man. Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, master thief Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.
Evangeline Lilly, Corey Stoll, Judy Greer, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Pena and John Slattery also star. Catch the footage below!

looks like this movie would be a lack-luster:/
