Ant-Man (2015) starring Michael Douglas & Paul Rudd
Michael Douglas will play Hank Pym.
Paul Rudd will play Scott Lang. http://variety.com/2014/film/news/mi...an-1201052848/ This is a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Phase 3 which is set to include Captain America 3 (pretty much confirmed), Thor 3 (confirmed), Dr. Strange (extremely likely), Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D Season 3 (unconfirmed), and ultimately Avengers 3 (confirmed). |

Is Antman actually any good? Seems like a pretty shite guy to have around when you've got Hulk, Thor etc. Captain America seemed lame enough compared to them, can't see how a guy who can shrink will be anything other than comic relief.
|
Ant-Man, and also The Atom on the DC side, have proved on several occasions to be very useful. I mean I get you, I think size changing is just stupid and I never liked it as a superhero concept - but the comics do present them as useful and even formidable on occasion.

Surely they'll have flashbacks of him doing Ant-Man things, maybe he was involved with the original SHIELD as well (likely met Howard Stark too). But the younger guy with a habit of elaborate heists is just more 'Hollywood', really.
|
I guess he could make himself really small, climb into Loki's mouth and then make himself big again and explode Loki from the inside.
|
|
Maybe we can have flashbacks of Michael Douglas Ant-Man running around on a team with Peggy Carter.
|
Which would be A-OK if/when Peggy's show gets off the ground.
|
as in the mcmuffin commercial..... WHAAAAAAAAAT?
This will be cool I think. |
The name alone will be an issue with the mainstream. And sure he can be useful, but phase three in a battle with thanos is a bit late in the game to bring him in as any real interesting addition.
IMHO If this came out last year it would be perfect. |
Cool.

Thinking about this now, I like the idea of a "legacy hero" movie. It is something we haven't really seen yet.
You'd think DC would be all about "legacy hero" movies, since they have/had so many legacy heroes. They should make a Starman movie/movies. |

That said, I've read Avengers for years, and Ant-man has been useful plenty of times. That video that was released a while ago also showed how good the character could be in combat. |
I am glad that Edgar Wright is directing the movie. I am also glad that Paul Rudd is going to be Ant-Man as he is one of my favourite actors of all time.
My knowledge about Ant-Man is limited to The Ultimates series (Hank Pym when he was married to the Wasp). |
You have quote the low bar for favorite actor of all time.

I just think to a mass-casual audience the escalation and addition of "space Aliens" and other worldly gods and people with the most amazing super powers, Ant Man will not really stand out or make sense. Instead if like Antman was around in the first film and still be around in the 3rd Avengers it would fit better than bringing him into his own film then showing up in Avengers 3. Have no reason to think the film makers will flub it, but I have that concern with this character transitioning to the masses. Was telling my wife about it and all she could come back with was "why antman how stupid, couldnt the hulk just smush him?" |

Will they do what they did for X Men and make Douggylas look young in flashbacks?
Maybe it will be in the vein of Watchmen in the style of half the movie takes place with shit thats already happened? |
Evangeline Lilly Cast as Ant-Man's Female Lead.
Whether she's the MCU's version of Jan/Wasp is not revealed but... prepare for something like that is all I'm saying. |
Well Evangeline Lilly is one of my Hollywood hard-ons, so Im okay with his.
|
Think she'd make a great wasp. Besides her, really the only other female characters connected to Pym are Tigra and Jocasta.
|
There's a good chance Yellowjacket will be retrofit as the villain.
|
Edgar Wright is out. Fuck this gay shit!
|
LOL Ant-Man.
Am I the only one that pictures this movie bombing? |
Nope.
I can see the media outlets calling it the superhero movie that burst the genres bubble. The Green Lantern had the mainstream rolling its eyes and I heard "Now they're really scraping the barrel!" when it was being discussed on tv. A serious action movie called Antman will probably get the same reaction or worse. |
Green Lantern didn't suck because they were scraping the barrel (and who says that, GL is hella popular), that movie sucked because it sucked as a movie.
I guess yet again we have to bring up the Iron Man example of how a good movie can turn a lesser known hero into something big. The best movie arguably in the MCU is Cap 2, and NOBODY thought that would be the case after Avengers and IM3. |
Just thought, it MIGHT have been Green Hornet.
|
Also, Paul Rudd is Ant Man. I highly doubt they are going to take it that seriously.
Honestly, if they can make gaurdians of the galaxy work, they can make ant man work. |
This is totally filming right fucking now.

That looks like Ben Affleck with a prosthetic nose.

Love me some Paul Rudd.
|
Evangeline Lilly's character (Janet Van Dye's daughter), is essentially the MCU's Janet proper. So while it won't be in the origin story, she is totally our Wasp.
|
You say this solely based on those pics that came out showing her haircut?
|
I've had my thoughts about it the moment she was cast, no way Marvel would get her to be 'the girlfriend'. With classic Janet dead by the start of the movie, I figure they'd work around that by making the daughter Wasp herself, while the classic Hank and Jan adventures would be seen in Agent Carter's series. Just musing to myself.
Then the haircut came out, and I'm about certain now. |
I'm....not totally happy with this but I'm not going to bitch as the track record the MCU has with making female characters awesome is more hits then misses. So while we won't have Jan, I'm glad we've got a Wasp.
|
Yeah, as a fan I'm pretty okay with this. In fact I think I'd be bothered more if it was Janet, and they made her Lang's girlfriend. Think it's more important to acknowledge the Hank/Janet relationship than to have Janet in the costume.
|
Agent Carter will appear in this. I'm guessing it has something to do with remixing Hank Pym as a SHIELD founder/scientist.

They most certainly had to address that name, I suppose.
|
Wait, so who is the villain in this. Really drawing a blank as far as Ant-Man villains go. And I'm a Marvel guy.
|
Don't know much about the Ant-Man character and story but will probably go see this, looks like it could be good.
|
Yellow Jacket is the villain, or at least the muscle.
|
The villain is HIMSELF
|
Was the whole, is it too late to change the name a forecoming of him possibly becoming Giant Man in the movie?
|
Doubtful. The gag was pointing out how silly Ant-Man sounds. Giant Man wouldn't be a great deal better to Scott. I don't think they're the Giant Man route quite yet anyway.
|
To be honest, Ant-Man/Giant-Man/Goliath whoever else has never appealed to me unless part of a team story-arc. That teaser hasn't done much to excite me, but it looks good for Paul Rudd, who could really break out into more serious roles if this does well.
|
Yeah the shrink/grow think never stuck to me as a superhero thing. I feel the same about stretchy types.
|
|
The costume, considering how goofy and cheesy it would most certainly be in real life, does look pretty cool. And it's cool seeing Paul Rudd in it.
|
I cannot wait for more.
Wonder if they'll do a last minute Giant Man thing at the end of the movie when Yellowjacket et al kidnap Cassie |
The new director's track record isn't that good.
|
Quote:
That aside other than the producer and writers yeah the track records of the guys who worked on this film...its worrying. Paul Rudd helped with the screen play.......alright |
Has modern marvel had a real dud yet? I suppose they are about due... not hating on this film before I've seen it though.
|
Even the weaker ones like Iron Man 3 and Hulk are still fun.
|
Trailer was good at least
|
My issue with Ant-Man in general is that, I find the character more interesting as supporting.
|
Hence why they went with Scott Lang instead of Hank Prym. Easier to sell a single dad then a wife beater.

Cool.

The side-arm thingies on the suit remind me of the "Iron Spidey" suit...
|
I do think that people are right, this will be Marvel's first "flop", it's not going to be a flop in the terms people are thinking. It'll do good money just not Guardians of the Galaxy money. Probably Iron Man 2 money or even Ed Norton Hulk money.
|
Its apparently the most viewed trailer ever
|
Get outta here.
|
29,000,000 views is a lot of views though.
Also I believe it's Marvel's most viewed trailer ever. |
For Ant-Man really? Is Marvel brainwashing people?
|
There's something fishy about Ant-Man getting more views than the Age of Ultron trailer.
|
|
:y:
|
Teaser for the new trailer was released...sorta looks like, for a brief moment at the 11 second mark, Obediah Stan is in the flick.
Could be a flash back, who knows. I could also be completely wrong. EDIT: I was wrong. Did look like him though. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Cqs5PebhRM0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
Trailer is out.
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pWdKf3MneyI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
Lolll the bit with the train set
|
Legit laughed out loud at that point
Also Yellowjacket is badass. |
I'm glad to see them embrace the inherent insanity of a hero the size of an ant. The first 2/3 of the trailer made me a little nervous that we were going to see Origin Story #8549176320. But that one gag renewed my faith. I should have known better than to doubt Marvel Studios.
|
YESSS!!! Looks awesome! That "show me how to punch" bit cracked me up. Totally pumped to see Paul Rudd in this too.
|
This is actually happening.
|
At this point I'm pretty sure marvel could make a squirrel girl movie, and it would be epic as fuck.
|
A certain chick would like that idea...
|
Looks great.
|
This is gonna flop. There I said it.
Flop into another giant pile of money. |
|
:y:
|
Marvel Studios made an Antman movie and it was awesome.
Still feels weird saying it but there you go. |
eh
|
Been hearing a lot of praise about this movie.
Been reading a lot of comments online about how movies like Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant-Man are doing so well because no one's heard of them, and it relieves a lot of the pressure put on movies like Iron Man, Captain America and the Avengers. |

Watched it last night and I loved it. Was a bit drunk though and at that point I put it in my top 3 comic films. In hindsight it's probably a bit lower than that, but it's a lot of fun.
Loads of good easter eggs. |
