ANT-MAN...ANT-MAN...DOES WHATEVER AND ANT-MAN CAN!
Armed with a super-suit with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, con-man Scott Lang must embrace his inner hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.- Marvel.com
Marvel gives us the first proper look at their latest big screen adaptation.
Fans were up in arms when Edgar Wright (Scott Pilgrim vs The World, Hot Fuzz) left his directorial duties.
So how is the now Payton Reed helmed project looking? Well see for yourself and let us know what you think?
On paper this would appear to be less of a gamble than when Marvel released Guardians of the Galaxy this summer. Ant-Man is a traditional comic book adaptation in line with what Marvel and DC have been doing for decades, whereas Guardians was a lavish space opera, action, comedy.
Both projects feature lesser known Marvel characters, however Marvel have a golden track record of the simple hero origin story saving the day which has been a winning formula; space operas have stung even their master, George Lucas, in the ass in recent memory, ie the prequel trilogy and John Carter.
However Guardians was an overwhelming hit on every level.
So how will Ant-Man do? I have no idea?
It will either be another trip to the bank for Marvel and Disney or get crushed under foot by the behemoth line up 2015 is offering fans.
Ant-Man is the name of several fictional characters appearing in books published by Marvel Comics. Ant-Man was originally the superhero persona of Hank Pym, a brilliant scientist who invented a substance that allowed him to change his size. Hank Pym was created by Stan Lee, Larry Lieber and Jack Kirby and first appeared in Tales to Astonish #27 (Jan. 1962); his first appearance as Ant-Man was in Tales to Astonish #35 (Sept. 1962).
After Pym retired his Ant-Man identity, successors Scott Lang and Eric O'Grady have used Pym's technology to take on the role of Ant-Man.
ANT-MAN hits UK theatres 17th July 2015.
Starring: Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas, Hayley Atwell, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Pena, John Slattery and Corey Stoll.
