The first teaser for Ant-Man debuted tonight at the end of the Agent Carter premiere episode, and it's tough to see what impact Wright's departure had. What we do get is a bit of Paul Rudd's trademark humor as Scott Lang, and Michael Douglas playing it serious as Henry Pym, the man who invented the Ant-Man armor and the "Pym particles" that allow him to shrink and grow in stature. We also get a glimpse of Evangeline Lilly as Hope Van Dyne, the estranged daughter of Pym and Janet Van Dyne aka The Wasp. What we don't get are a lot of special effects, but considering how far out we are from the film's release that isn't a surprise. Here's the official synopsis:
“The next evolution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe brings a founding member of The Avengers to the big screen for the first time with 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.”
This is still just a teaser and hopefully we'll get a better sense of the tone when the full trailer is released. Ant-Man hits theaters on July 17th.
