Didn't see it posted, but the RR concept art from the panel:
First (of four) part of the IM3 panel here.
Anyone got a picture of the look they're trying to interpret for the Ant-Man movie?

Crowd popped big for that Winter Soldier title. So far Marvel definitely seem to know what the fans are hoping for.

I don't read X-Men (never been a fan), so what happened there?
How many Ant-Mans have there been?

Three, if I recall correctly.
Cyke married Emma after Jean died. Then he rediscovered his balls. There has been 3 Antmen.
Yeah will this be Marvel's ROTJ moment..

Interesting you say that. I think you can pretty much apply this to all of Marvel's movies.
There have been 3 people to take up the Ant-man mantle. Hank Pym, Scott Lang, and Eric O'Grady. There have been multiple size changing heroes, though.
Emma Frost is telepathic (how she tricked him) and is the kind of woman who simply takes what she wants. She used to be a villain known as the white queen.
Him rediscovering his balls was the best thing to happen to the character so in turn, Jean dying was the best thing that happened to him.
I look forward to the reviews comparing it the GL movie. Since Ryan Reynolds is the only cosmic hero measuring stick. Unless we want to use Starkid.
People said that exact thing about Thor and Captain America, though. And they were neither, in the end, they were solid successes, instead, not big failures or huge hits. There is definitely plenty of middleground here.
Why can't it simply be middling? I don't see why this film has to be a "sink or swim" type thing, can't it just float and be done with it?

Antman and GOTG. Boom, there's two already.
They'll just have TV spots that feature Tony Stark walking in with swag going like "Yo Hank, where those Pym Particles at?" "You're a raccoon with a rocket? Yeah, that makes sense."
BOOM. Instant success.
I doubt they make Avengers money but should be profitable. Especially if they keep the Antman budget reasonable.Antman and GOTG. Boom, there's two already.
That's because, in the end, they were heavily weaved into the Avengers storyline and were main, well known and established characters that are known to be part of the team.
Because the characters they are trying portray are so out there, that if they fail, it'll be a giant meh-fest. I don't see someone walking out of this type of movie saying 'it was ok', but who knows. If they can generate a positive word of mouth situation similarly to what happened with Avengers (assuming the movie is actually good), this could be another big success. Especially if they market it as being associated with Avengers.
After Avengers, just saying it's part of the Marvel Universe is now a selling point. Next up is Iron Man 3, which is probably going to be great (Shane Black writing and directing bodes well) and just further increase the brand name value of Marvel Studios.
Same deal with Thor 2 and Cap 2, they're probably going to be much better films than the first ones, since the origin stories are out of the way and they've got fan favourite stuff geared up for them. By the time GOTG comes out the Marvel Universe label will be at an insane level of hype, so it's easy to sell something with that.

Will that raccoon movie be a CG cartoon movie?

If it was someone else at the helm besides Edgar Wright, I would agree that Ant-Man would be bad. I trust in EW to make a great movie.

Jeff Winger to one of the smartest scientists ever? Hmmm don't know.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Hank Pym needs to be a really kinda eccentric awkward guy to sell the role. His whole feelings of inadequacy are pretty integral to every storyline he builds up to.
Make fun of super-power being to become really tiny? Becomes Giant-Man.

Hopin the Thor subtitle of The Dark World refers to the Dark Gods story that Jurgens did. Loved that arc.

I would hope not. They need to push the fact that The Guardians exist in the same movie continuity as The Avengers. Making it an animated film would ruin that.

Michael Fassbender would be a good Hank Pym:

I like Capcom's UMVC3 version better. This is still cool though.

If ILM is doing the CG they could fool lots of people into thinking the movie was live action.
Pym, no. O'Grady, sure.

Today's Marvel Monday sale on Comixology is Guardians of the Galaxy for those interested in jumping on board with the announcement of the film. I certainly will be. The first 18 or so issues are now available for .99 cents.
