Marvel's Ant-Man Trailer

Marvel dropped its first Ant-Man trailer in a sea of Avengers: Age of Ultron hype.

The footage looks promising but I don’t see much in the way of story. Paul Rudd plays the signature hero so there’s plenty of reason to be optimistic.

How will Ant-Man figure into the ever expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe? Not sure. As my fellow comic fans know, Ant-Man is a founding member of the Avengers, created Ultron, and cooked up a half-dozen or so alter-egos over the years. Rudd plays Scott Lang, second iteration of the character. Michael Douglas is the original recipe, Hank Pym.

We live in a world where a virtually unknown comic property featuring a sentient tree and talking raccoon destroyed in the box office, so I can see easily Marvel mic dropping once again after this film lands in theaters July 17th.

Check out the Ant-Man: Scott Lang paperback for a glimpse of what you’re in for.
