Having already dominated the weekend’s conversation with Daredevil hitting Netflix and early buzz for Age of Ultron being mostly positive, Marvel isn’t ready to allow the conversation to shit towards anybody else. This morning they’ve unveiled the latest trailer for Ant-Man, the final film of Marvel Studio’s Phase 2, and undoubtedly the biggest risk the studio has yet to face. There’s a heavy focus on humor and action in this latest trailer, and most of the footage is up until this point unseen. We’re going to have wait until July 17th to know if Peyton Reed was able to steer Ant-Man out of troubled waters following its tumultuous production.
The official 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 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, Judy Greer as Maggie, Tip “Ti” Harris as Dave, David Dastmalchian as Kurt, Wood Harris as Gale, Jordi Mollà as Castillo and Michael Douglas as Hank Pym. Directed by Peyton Reed and produced by Kevin Feige, Marvel’s “Ant-Man” delivers a high-stakes, tension-filled adventure on July 17, 2015.
