The first poster for the upcoming movie "Ant-Man" is officially out.
Ooops, they did it again. First was the ant-sized teaser preview, and now, an ant-sized Paul Rudd in its official poster!? The first official poster for the movie was unveiled on its Facebook page just several hours ago. It justifies that the tiny-sized Ant-Man figure in the poster indicates that "heroes come in all sizes." I guess, we just have to wait for the poster showing the human-sized superhero. The post also reminded fans to watch out for the movie's full trailer which debuted on Tuesday, January 6, during the two-hour series premiere of Marvel's "Agent Carter" on ABC. Now, here is the first full trailer of the much-awaited movie:
If you can no longer wait to see Paul Rudd in his Ant-Man, then here's an exclusive magazine cover photo from Entertainment Weekly showing the actor all suited up.
According to Entertainment Weekly, the movie has sort of suffered over the years as it had experienced a series of delays. It noted that it was still in 2001 when the first treatment for the movie was written by its original director Edgar Wright together with Joe Cornish. Through the years, Wright kept calm and optimistic saying that he would rather do the movie with a 2015 effects than 2005 effects. Wright, however, eventually quit in May last year. He was then replaced by "Bring it On" and "The Break-Up" director Peyton Reed.
Ant-Man is the superhero who has the ability to shrink to roughly the size of an ant but can punch with as much force as a normal sized person. He also has the ability to communicate telepathically with insects.
Aside from Rudd, "Ant-Man" also stars "Behind The Candelabra" and "Wall Street" actor Michael Douglas as Dr. Hank Pym and "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" and "Lost" actress Evangeline Lilly as Hope Van Dyne, Hank Pym's daughter.
The cast also includes "House of Cards" and "The Bourne Legacy" actor Corey Stoll, "Danny Collins" and "Annie" actor Bobby Cannavale, "End of Watch" and "American Hustle" actor Michael Peña, and "Togetherness" actress Abby Ryder Fortson. Also included in the cast list are Judy Greer, David Dastmalchian, Wood Harris, John Slattery, Gregg Turkington, and T.I.
Here's the movie's plot summary: "Armed 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, protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats.
