Imagine a superhero the size of an insect. That’s what the new Marvel movie brings us with Ant-Man. And in this new trailer, you can see him in action against the villain of the moment.
The Story So Far
This year marks the second phase of Marvel’s cinematic universe movies. In two weeks, Avengers: Age of Ultron premieres, a film many are eagerly waiting for, to be followed by Ant-Man. The story introduces Scott Lang, who must help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, defend the Ant-Man technology from the clutches of his former partner, Darren Cross. This villain now runs Pym’s company and has militarized a similar version of the Ant-Man suit known as Yellowjacket.
A New Look at the Suit in Action
In this new Ant-Man trailer, we can see Scott trying on the suit to learn to control his new abilities that allow him to shrink to the size of an ant while increasing his strength and agility. But alongside Scott, we have Darren, who acquired Pym’s technology to create the Yellowjacket, a next-generation suit compared to Ant-Man. The Yellowjacket can do everything Ant-Man does, even more. With a more militaristic and elegant design, both suits will be put to the test in a fight that will put the fate of the Earth at stake.

The leading cast includes Paul Rudd (Scott Lang / Ant-Man), Michael Douglas (Dr. Hank Pym), Evangeline Lilly (Hope Van Dyne), Corey Stoll (Darren Cross / Yellowjacket), and Bobby Cannavale, among others.
