'Avengers 2' and 'Ant-Man' new video footage revealed in Marvel TV Special

There was no "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D" episode this week, but ABC ran the Marvel TV Special titled "From Pulp to Pop." And while the agents took a break from work this week, viewers were treated to something at the end of the special, or at least, those who decided to stay through the end.

What did the viewers get? Well, it's a new look at "Avengers: Age of Ultron" and a first look ever at "Ant-Man." That's really not bad, not bad at all.

However, for those who missed it and want to see it, they shouldn't expect the footages to be a huge reveal. They're not big clips from the movies. Screen Crush describes the footages as "B-roll from both productions as they were filming."

One can see Paul Rudd having his first encounter with the Ant-Man suit. Rudd also talks to Hank Pym (Michael Douglas). Then there's the Avengers, Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) in particular, doing some magic. While the footages aren't really that huge, it still keeps everyone on their toes and excited for these two Marvel films. Needless to say, the new peek will also satisfy the Marvel movie buffs out there.

Right now, there is still no information as to when the official "Ant-Man" trailer will be released. The movie is currently filming, so the trailer might come out around February 2015. Meanwhile, here's the new synopsis for "Ant-Man":

The next evolution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe brings a founding member of The Avengers to the big screen for the first time Marvel Studios' Ant-Man. Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, master thief 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. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world."

"Avengers: Age of Ultron" hits theaters on May 1, 2015 while "Ant-Man" is set for July 17, 2015.
