It's like my most anticipated Marvel production, more than Age of Ultron and Civil War at this point. I just really like seeing these solo ventures with superheroes who haven't had a real shot at the big screen.

And those shrinking effects are ripped out of the comic pages, and that DOF effect gives the movie a unique look compared to the rest of the line-up, and the humor seems so appropriate with the punch to the face and toy train sequence. Hilarious!

As much as the tone may be inconsistent, I do like the smaller serious notes and dialogue mixed with the funny ones.

July 22 can't come soon enough!

Just pleeeeaaaaasssseeeeee have Lilly be the Wasp before the end that's all I ask!

I think after Daredevil, we need to start paying attention to the other heroes not named Iron Man, Cap or Spidey.

I agree! If you look at her body of work in the comics, I think it's a miracle we're getting a Jessica Jones show over someone else.

Someone needs to make a Nothing stops the Marvel train gif from that one scene with Yellowjacket and Thomas the tank engine.

But Yellowjacket stopped the train.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

But Yellowjacket stopped the train.

We dont need to include this in the gif

Damn, movie looks amazing. Almost more hyped than about Age of Ultron now.

 

[J10]

This feels a little more exciting than Ultron just because it's entirely new. We've already seen the Avengers.

 

[Tizoc]

This feels a little more exciting than Ultron just because it's entirely new. We've already seen the Avengers.

That's like saying a new James Bond movie isn't exciting because we've already seen James Bond dozens of times already

 

[Lashley]

Yup, still really hyped. Even more so now.

Looks great and absolutely hilarious.

 

[BLACKLAC]

Get hyped.

So is Thomas The Tank Engine going to be an avenger now

What is this? A billboard for ants?

Yeah, actually.

 

[Neoxon]

Not sure if official

Marvel's top-tier marketing at work.

"From the Studio That Brought You Marvel's The Avengers & Guardians of the Galaxy"

 

[Quick]

I have what could be a really stupid but possibly hilarious idea for the OT when the time comes.

Joss Whedon talks about Edgar Wright's departure from Ant-Man:

In May 2014, months into production on Age of Ultron, Edgar Wright abruptly departed Ant-Man eight years after first signing on to co-write and direct the film, and just weeks before it was due to start shooting. According to a vague joint statement released by Marvel and Wright, the reason was “due to differences in their vision of the film” — which Feige echoed when BuzzFeed News asked him about the decision on the Age of Ultron set in July. “It really was good old-fashioned creative differences,” he said. “It was, ‘It’s not going to work, is it?’ ‘No, it’s not.’ ‘All right. Should we draft a statement?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘OK.’”

Fans of Wright’s distinctively geeky filmmaking style, best expressed in his “Cornetto” trilogy Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and The World’s End, were shocked by the sudden news. Whedon was one of them. The day after the announcement, he tweeted a shot of himself holding a Cornetto ice cream wrapper, as if in solidarity with Wright.

When asked six weeks later if he had anything else to say about Wright’s departure, at first Whedon replied, “No.” And then he kept talking.

“Only that I don’t get it,” he said with a sigh. “I thought the script was not only the best script that Marvel had ever had, but the most Marvel script I’d read. I had no interest in Ant-Man. [Then] I read the script, and was like, Of course! This is so good! It reminded me of the books when I read them. Irreverent and funny and could make what was small large, and vice versa. I don’t know where things went wrong. But I was very sad. Because I thought, This is a no-brainer. This is Marvel getting it exactly right. Whatever dissonance that came, whatever it was, I don’t understand why it was bigger than a marriage that seemed so right. But I’m not going to say it was definitely all Marvel, or Edgar’s gone mad! I felt like they would complement each other by the ways that they were different. And, uh, somethin’ happened.”

Joss Whedon talks about Edgar Wright's departure from Ant-Man:

Holy crap that was a year ago?

Fuck me the last year went quickly

Halloween 6 is still Rudd's best movie.

 

[mreddie]

Halloween 6 is still Rudd's best movie.

You spelled Clueless wrong.

Also, first clip popped up on Late Show and it's nowhere to be found.

 

[Weapxn]

WHERE IS THAT? I need to go take a picture.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

The problem is, its will probably getting stolen. Or damages :/

 

[Neoxon]

New Ant-Man clip

 

[BrokenFiction]

New Ant-Man clip

Thought for sure this was going to be a Mac and Me clip...lol.

 

[mreddie]

New Ant-Man clip

Think god he wasn't on Conan or I would've seen that a mile away.

Simple clip.

 

[Neoxon]

Thought for sure this was going to be a Mac and Me clip...lol.

I don't joke about this shit.

New interview with Paul Rudd.

 

[Anson225]

Seems it's very likely for him to appear in other MCU films. Great news.

 

[Pachimari]

I'm very worried about Yellow Jacket. He might look cool and all at this point, but I'm so afraid he is gonna be another weak Marvel villain that will highly likely be beaten by the end and not be that menacing at all, but rather a cool action packed character.

 

[Replicant]

Halloween 6 is still Rudd's best movie.

No. But Clueless is.

 

[Gartooth]

I have zero faith in Yellowjacket. Marvel had the chance to do something great with Ultron and it sounds like they blew it.

It will be the most ironic twist of fate though if Ant-Man ends up being considered a better film than Age of Ultron by a lot of people.

 

[mreddie]

Take a guess who's cameoing...

 

[KimiNewt]

I just realised another thing we lost by losing Edgar Wright:

We could have had a part where Ant-man goes:
"Thanks, Ants.

Thants."

Now I'm sad.

 

[mreddie]

Haven't seen a poster like this in a while from Marvel.

 

[Pachimari]

Much more excited about this one, than I ever were of Age of Ultron.

 

[strafer]

Haven't seen a poster like this in a while from Marvel.

im shocked...no blue and orange.

 

[richiek]

Not too crazy about the "ensemble cast" poster here.

I see they're trying to ride the coattails of Guardians of the Galaxy.

 

[Fuu]

They totally should make Ant-Man promos in the vein of those old Lilo & Stitch trailers, but with him secretly popping up in scenes.

[tomtom94]

Yup, that's a Marvel poster alright.

I'm kind of in shock to be honest, a blue-tinted background and not a hint of orange. What are they thinking?

Real thoughts, it's alright but looks hella generic.

 

[Scorpion Soldier]

Haven't seen a poster like this in a while from Marvel.

It's okay, I guess. The tiny Ant-Man on the Marvel logo is a great touch though!

 

[Broken Joystick]

Guardians rode Avengers/Iron Man/Cap so it's only fair

Poster is average though.

 

[Toa TAK]

Haven't seen a poster like this in a while from Marvel.

Everyone's facial expression is funny.

 

[richiek]

The Ant Man poster looks sort of like the Iron Man 1 poster:

 

[Neoxon]

Haven't seen a poster like this in a while from Marvel.

Nice little throwback to the Iron Man 1 poster. But I'm curious as to why the Avengers aren't mentioned in the "From the Studio Who Brought You..." part.

 

[ReplacementPelican]

Haven't seen a poster like this in a while from Marvel.

This will almost definitely be the cover of the bluray as well.

 

[richiek]

Because Marvel feels that Ant Man is more in line with GOTG than Avengers? The cast had said the film has lots of humor like Guardians.

 

[mreddie]

The Ant Man poster looks sort of like the Iron Man 1 poster:

Looks like these too.
