When Paul Rudd was cast as Ant-Man in the "Ant-Man" movie, many believed that this would be a different kind of superhero film. It would most likely be the same as "Guardians of the Galaxy" in terms of humor. However, the first trailer for the movie proved that there's a balance between humor and the seriousness of saving the world.
When Marvel and Disney first released the "Ant-Man" trailer, the views skyrocketed and this clearly shows that "Ant-Man" may be the biggest movie this summer. Marvel fans love the trailer. There is a good mix of wit, humor, solemnity and grim factor to it as well. While the trailer doesn't reveal too much information or detail about the movie, it is enough to keep people at the edge of their seats.
The trailer is also quite fun. Screen Crush opined that Rudd looks good in the suit.
Moving forward, Marvel also released official photos from the movie. The first official poster is a very witty one: try finding where Ant-Man is — those who do find him can't help but smile. Further, Screen Crush got a hold of the rest of the photos on the set as well as the concept art for Corey Stoll's character Yellowjacket wearing the infamous costume.
Speaking of Stoll, Screen Crush had a chance to talk to him about his role and here's what he said:
"I was this child prodigy that Michael Douglas' character Hank Pym discovered at an early age. He nurtured me and I was part of his technology company. I started to become aware of these rumors of this fabled technology that can shrink people to half an inch while keeping their full-size strength. And I became very obsessed with it and demanded that we move forward. But Pym had sort of buried it for ethical, moral reasons."
He then continued to share that he used his own version of the technology on himself. It had a psychotic effect on the character, but the Yellowjacket suit he discovered is far more advanced than what Ant-Man has.
Meanwhile, it is important to note that Adam McKay and Paul Rudd shared the pen writing the screenplay for the movie. Thus, expect loads of humor when "Ant-Man" hits theaters on July 17.
