"I think the most defining difference between the two scripts was that Edgar’s didn’t take itself as seriously. It was fun and silly and brilliant irreverent – a romp from beginning to end, in classic English fashion. Whereas where we’ve gotten to is so much more American. There’s tons of levity, but just as much emotion.”

The fuck?

 

[richiek]

New poster?

 

[mreddie]

New poster?

Looks off and I don't think it's legit.

 

[Dalek]

Sheesh that's bad.

 

[J10]

That's fan-made.

 

[jmood88]

New poster?

I half-expected to see "Siskel & Ebert give it two thumbs up!" after that tag line.

 

[Father_Brain]

New poster?

Fake, but if you ignore the most obviously amateurish design elements (font for cast names, font and exclamation point for tagline)... it's a lot better than the actual poster, sadly enough.

 

[Neoxon]

RogersBase (usually known for his Nintendo content) just did a video on his thoughts on what could be in the post credits scene for Ant-Man. The video has AoU spoilers, so spoiler alert.

 

[J10]

who is this guy and why should I care what he thinks about anything Ant-Man related

 

[Harmen]

I wonder, what are the expectations for this one in terms of box-office? MCU will give it some momentum but I have difficulty believing people will run to the cinema for this one.

I do not feel the same about the other MCU films (okay, I did about Cap prior to actually seeing WS, but being a lead in an action blockbuster milestone helps a lot).

 

[mreddie]

Another fan poster, better than the last one. Still has floaty head syndrome.

After the success of Guardians, it'll likely sell on the Marvel Studios brand alone (& you'd be surprised by how many people can tell apart an MCU film from a Marvel film by Fox).

 

[J10]

That poster is worse.

 

[mreddie]

That poster is worse.

Looks like the Iron Man 1 poster.

 

[Dalek]

Awful.

 

[mreddie]

Lesson is, leave the poster making to the pros.

 

[FunkyPajamas]

You rang?

 

[mreddie]

You rang?

Not Marvel but oof...

 

[FunkyPajamas]

Not Marvel but oof...

I know, that was a cheap shot, sorry!

 

[jmood88]

Lesson is, leave the poster making to the pros.

The fan-made Guardians posters were amazing but all the Ant-Man ones have been very shitty.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Another fan poster, better than the last one. Still has floaty head syndrome.

Ugh, Yellowjackets Face.

 

[neoism]

day 0 for Lilly but goddamn that hair cut... she reaallly needs her long hair back... I know nothing of ant man but with Paul it"ll be fun and funny.

 

[Syntsui]

This has to be the less hyped Marvel movie ever, even GoTG had more exposure and people were kinda of excited (a lot of unknown faces, but turned out to be a success). I'm afraid this will bomb REALLY hard.

Yep, not feeling any hype whatsoever. Marvel-GAF is pretty quiet about it. My gf is a casual MCU-fan and the trailer left her cold. I fear the general public thinks the same.

Nevertheless, Marvel and Disney have more of enough of a financial puffer to have one movie fail. Plus, they have their 2019 plan set in stone, a failure won't cancel Black Panther

 

[GAMEPROFF]

We are quiet because there are no clips, poster or trailer to be excited about

 

[dabig2]

The movie is still a month and a half away. I expect marketing to beef up when we hit mid June or so. We're due at least another new full trailer along with a few more tv commercial spots.

The run up to GotG was similar until the marketing machine ramped up about a month before release and we all know how that turned out. My GF likes seeing MCU stuff and I had to practically drag her to GotG on opening day. That said, I do think there was more internet hype for it. My point though is never underestimate the Marvel marketing machine.

New poster:

 

[GAMEPROFF]

I cant help myself but I have the feeling that I will come out lf the cinema and like this movie more than Avengers 2

 

[longdi]

Saw Antman trailer while watching Mad Max. It looks rather generic. But since it is another Marvel potatoe, will likely watch.

Just wondering which timeline this movie take place in? Kind of hard to imagine someone other than Tony will have the technology to shrink a man in MCU.

 

[Neoxon]

New poster:

Not bad, better than the previous poster. I especially like how Marvel doesn't need to show the names of the actors anymore. The Marvel brand alone is selling it.

 

[mreddie]

New poster:

Again, leave to the poster making to the pros. That was made by pros.

 

[a916]

New poster:

What insect is he riding that makes those bullets look so small by comparision?

 

[Neoxon]

Ant-Man standee spotted.

 

[FunkyPajamas]

What insect is he riding that makes those bullets look so small by comparision?

I don't know, but it's probably Australian.

 

[J10]

He's riding...

wait for it...

an ant.

 

[Pachimari]

Watched the trailer in the cinema last night. Most jokes went over people's heads, but they did laugh when Lilly punched Scott in the face, and when the toy train fell off track in the battle against Yellowjacket.

 

[mreddie]

I'm guessing it's a perception thing.

 

[Quick]

Ant-Man standee spotted.

The standee is actually the size of a can.

 

[FunkyPajamas]

I'm guessing it's a perception thing.

It's a matter of perspective.

 

[mreddie]

Ant-Man standee spotted.

Wonder if Tiny Scott is a cutout too?

No new footage still?

 

[jmood88]

I don't mind not seeing a million clips before the movie is out but at this point, I'll be watching this based on my enjoyment of the MCU more than my excitement for this movie, which I guess is what Marvel is banking on.

 

[mreddie]

True since there were alot of complaints about Marvel showing 60% of Ultron before the US release.

 

[Lunar15]

I just never expected them to play up an Ant Man movie so straight. When I heard it was Wright working on it, it made sense. Even when they changed directors, I assumed it'd still be pretty tounge-in-cheek. With the first trailer, I thought "oh, they're holding back, I guess".

I mean, I'm sure the movie will be fairly comedic given the writers on it and the actors they hired, but they're sure not pushing that angle.

 

[mreddie]

New stills:

 

[Dalek]

There's meme potential here.

 

[Dalek]

According to this article, a new cameo is confirmed.

Spoiler

Anthony Mackie. It also says other Avengers as well.
