Marvel Reveals 5-Minute Extended 'Ant-Man' Promo


Marvel's expansive, and somewhat desperate, marketing campaign for Ant-Man continues with the release of the five minute extended promo that played ahead of IMAX screenings of Jurassic World. This follows on a slew of clips that spoiled at least one of the film's major cameos, all in hopes audiences who love the Avengers will want to see what makes Ant-Man so special.

Paul Rudd makes the unexpected leap into the MCU as thief Scott Lang, with Michael Douglas as founding Avenger Henry "Hank" Pym. Lang gets hired to steal the powerful Ant-Man suit, which will give him the ability to shrink down to microscopic size and hang out with insects and stuff.

The film is undergone a major overhaul since Peyton Reed came aboard to replace Edgar Wright, and Marvel may be overdoing the marketing to try and win back fans who weren't fond of the change. Ant-Man hits theaters on July 17th, then the character will be seen in next year's Captain America: Civil War.
