Is Marvel finally trying to show Ant-Man some love? The news over the last few days has been all about Avengers: Age of Ultron's massive (and still somewhat disappointing) box office and next year's Captain America: Civil War. So now today they've released a new poster for the diminutive superhero that features our first looks at much of the cast.
Paul Rudd stars as petty thief Scott Lang who becomes the hero Ant-Man after stealing the suit for his mentor, Hank Pym, played by Michael Douglas. Also featured on this image are Evangeline Lilly as Hope Van Dyne, Corey Stoll as "Yellowjacket" Darren Cross, Bobby Cannavale as Lang's pal Paxton, and Michael Pena as Luis, a former cellmate of Lang's. Here's the synopsis:
In "Ant-Man," Hank Pym approaches master thief Scott Lang with a suit that grants him the ability to shrink in size but increases his strength! Scott must embrace his inner hero and put the suit to good use and save the world under Pym's leadership.
Ant-Man hits theaters on July 17th, directed by Peyton Reed.
