It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s an… ant?
I know. Marvel fans will be quick to remind me that Superman is NOT a Marvel comic book hero (he’s from D.C. comics). I just used that line to make a fun introduction to the newest Marvel movie release, Ant-Man, which crawls into theaters on July 17, 2015.
I am not familiar to this action hero. I have never heard of Ant-Man before.
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 must embrace his inner hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, 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.
Marvel’s “Ant-Man” stars Paul Rudd as Scott Lang aka Ant-Man, Evangeline Lilly as Hope Van Dyne, Corey Stoll as Darren Cross aka Yellowjacket, Bobby Cannavale as Paxton, Michael Peña as Luis, Tip “T.I.” Harris as Dave, Wood Harris as Gale, Judy Greer as Maggie, David Dastmalchian as Kurt, and Michael Douglas as Dr. Hank Pym.
Peyton Reed directs Marvel’s Ant-Man with Kevin Feige producing and Louis D’Esposito, Alan Fine, Victoria Alonso, Michael Grillo, Edgar Wright and Stan Lee serving as executive producers. The story is by Edgar Wright & Joe Cornish and the screenplay is by Edgar Wright & Joe Cornish and Adam McKay & Paul Rudd. Marvel’s “Ant-Man” delivers a high-stakes, tension-filled adventure on July 17, 2015.
Check out the film’s trailer.
I’m used to seeing Paul Rudd in comic roles. I never saw him as a superhero, but I think he makes a great Ant-Man.
I’m excited to check the film out when it comes to theaters.

I am excited to see Ant-Man as well. If it’s anything like the previous Marvel movies it will not be a let down. Thank you for sharing this post.
