Two New Lame Trailer Teasers Are Online For AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON And ANT-MAN

Promo Art for Marvel’s ANT-MAN Trailer teasers are a pain in the ass. The first one has been out for a while now ahead of the upcoming release of Marvel’s Avengers: Age Of Ultron.

Seriously, I see the “meaning” behind making the screen so small to the point where even burying my face in my mobile device won’t work, but frankly, this is just hilarious and stupid. Anyway, happy new year. I love movies. The new Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer will air during the 2015 College Football Playoff […]
