Well it wasn’t really enormous, but it is bigger than an ant. Yet it does not show star Paul Rudd as Ant-Man but rather as brooding hoodie man.
A white man in a hoodie. Safe as houses.
Anyway, according to an UNUSUALLY excited press release from Disney, Ant-Man just went into production with Peyton Reed (“Bring it On,” “The Break-Up”) directing. The departure of director[mastermind Edgar Wright., and subsequent desperate search for a director , put everyone in a bad mood over this movie, but after Guardian’s stunning success Wright will soon be but a footnote, I’m afraid, and all will be forgiven.
The rest of the Ant-Man cast includes Michael Douglas as Dr. Hank Pym, Evangeline Lilly as Hope Van Dyne, Hank’s daughter, and Corey Stoll, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña, Abby Ryder Fortson, Judy Greer, David Dastmalchian, Wood Harris, John Slattery, Gregg Turkington and rapper T.I..
Btw the way, in case you were wondering “Will the tiny Ant-Man save the world just like every other Marvel hero thus devaluing the difficulty of saving the world while proving that even someone as small as an ant can be a big hero with heart and determination” the answer is YES, Ant-Man WILL save the world!
Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, con-man Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.
We shouldn’t complain; saving the world is to Marvel heroes as meeting Prince Charming is to early disney Princesses.
