TRAILERS

Looks interesting, I've been excited about this for a while. Still wish Wright was with it though.

This is the first Marvel Studios movie that I have no interest in seeing.

-Blade 3 -X-men The Last Stand -Ghost Rider -Spider-man 3 -Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer -X-Men Origins: Wolverine just to name a few that you may have missed

I assume that he's referring to the MCU, like, the Avengers shared universe movies. Those movies you mentioned technically aren't Marvel movies.

rick on Jan 6, 2015

I agree, there Disney Marvel, not true flawed personalities and extreme ideals. The villains take a back seat in every Marvel movie or they make the bad guy even more flawed to the point its a joke. Not one villain on screen other than Thanos seemed powerful and wanting to fear. I mean this for all the movies, even Foxes Xmen - you had men who belonged in retirement homes playing Villians WTF? Sam Raimi's Spiderman felt like Joel Schumackers films.. Nolan is the true saving grace for men in tights and capes...and villains everywhere...

i cant tell if u like marvel or hate it

X-men: The Last Stand = underrated Ghost Rider = underrated, but understandable why Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer = little underrated, but understandable why Spider-Man 3 = highly underrated X-Men Origins: Wolverine = underrated Blade Trinity = no comment

Tuomas Lassila on Jan 7, 2015

I don't know....The Last Stand and Spidey 3, as bad as they were, are tolerable....the rest are awful....Ghost Rider? Terrible...

TheOct8pus on Jan 7, 2015

Nah

Tuomas Lassila on Jan 7, 2015

10

Ghost Rider 2 was dope... you cray cray -- the first one was is what it is, I mean no one ever mentions how bad Dare Devil and Elektra are, F4 movies were a pile of garbage- again. Nolan's Batman is the true super hero film, then falls Xmen series, then the Incredible Hulk with Ed Norton,,, finally Guardians made Marvel look good, and the Captain America and Iron Man movies are up and down... like them, but don't love them .. Thor is a joke anything else ? Now comes the next Phase - the Avengers was fun, but i don't like the buffy director playing with my Marvel heroes doesn't fill right... So Phase 3-4 will have to improve - cause to see a group of 38 yr old guys in tights isn't cool!

shane willett on Jan 7, 2015

11

I didn't see Ghost Rider 2....perhaps someday I will. The first one was just crapola.

TheOct8pus on Jan 7, 2015

12

Blade series is the best thing Marvel has done, and that wasn't even done by the bubble gum marvel we know today(Marvel is really Disney).. Disney Destroyed Marvel... like they will with Star Wars... making all the movies: light hearted, edgy and fun!

shane willett on Jan 7, 2015

13

But the MCU movies are the best Marvel movies there are.

Tuomas Lassila on Jan 7, 2015

14

^ None of those are independent marvel studios movies...

Sean on Jan 7, 2015

15

Damn Epic!!! I like that new kind of feeling. And truely...Marvel got a talking tree and a Racoon with Guns to beloved All-Time-Classics!!! Ant-Man should be no big task 😀 Paul Rudd (Scott) would be a good new leader ...

Dubmaster2010 on Jan 6, 2015

16

I really liked it! They didn't show a lot of the action or suiting wearing, but just enough to get people interested and to see where the movie can go. I'm pumped especially since this character will have a different dynamic to the movies than the rest so far. One thing I am curious about if we'll see in this movie... In the comics, Ant Man was able to shrink in size but also "grow" to become a giant, like a skyscraper building tall giant (I know he was also called Ant Man/Giant Man in the comics). I wonder if we're going to see that in this incarnation of the MCU's Ant Man or if we'll maybe later see it in Avengers: IW (if he's in it). My fingers are crossed for both.

JBrotsis on Jan 6, 2015

17

Probably later, they don't want to confuse the lay people.

mooreworthy on Jan 6, 2015

18

Don't be so hard on yourself

Paul Hepburn on Jan 6, 2015

19

Meh. My Spidey senses are telling me Marvel could have its first flop on the way. Looks very average. At least from this trailer. I wish Edgar didn't get fired.

Trey Wilson on Jan 6, 2015

20

Thats exaclty the reaction i red a thousand times before the release of Guardians of the Galaxy 😀 Now its Marvels third highest grossing Movie 😀

Dubmaster2010 on Jan 6, 2015

21

Very true. But for the record, I thought all the GotG trailers were awesome. Maybe it's because this one lacked spectacle. Not sure, but it felt very by-the-numbers. I'm sure it'll still make a gazillion dollars because most people on the planet watch Marvel movies.

Trey Wilson on Jan 6, 2015

22

And i am sure...they know what they're doing. In my opinion all movies of the MCU were great so far. But we have to wait and see 🙂

Dubmaster2010 on Jan 6, 2015

23

not planet. US. ya think anybody gives two fecks about captain america in europe? lol

Terry Craig on Jan 6, 2015

24

Um, yeah, studios now consider US domestic box office grosses to only account for around 40% of total revenue. Plenty of people watch these movies in Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand...

Trey Wilson on Jan 7, 2015

25

Well, duh, but Marvel's movies specifically are by far the most popular in the US, while many countries have flicks like Thor or Captain america barely in their yearly Top20 box office lists. Just sayin' your statement's quite a big hyperbole.

Terry Craig on Jan 7, 2015

26

I am from germany, and nearly all people i know have seen the Captain America Movies and loved them.

Dubmaster2010 on Jan 7, 2015

27

As a brit i sit in a marketing job and an office full of people (like me) that love Marvel including the Captain' series, just because we're not patriotic about it doesn't mean we can't be film fans.

Alex Moore on Jan 7, 2015

28

People do like Captain America in Europe....he's like a guilty pleasure, like Coke or Hamburgers...

TheOct8pus on Jan 7, 2015

29

My hopes are that they are saving all the cool shrinking and action for the actual movie. But those hopes should be dashed within the next couple months.

Sky on Jan 6, 2015

I'm in.

Xerxexx on Jan 6, 2015

31

Cool, cool, cool.

mooreworthy on Jan 6, 2015

H­alf ye­ar ago,after losing my job , i've been very lucky to know about this amazing site online that literally saved me... Offering well payed online work from home. Last payment after working for them for three months was $12k...Good thing about is that only requirement for the job is basic typing and reliable internet...If i could do it, so can you, try it out now>>>

basuardine on Jan 6, 2015

34

And to think people thought this was gonna be a comedy... This trailer damn near had a Nolan Batman film vibe going.

Terry Craig on Jan 7, 2015

35

Yes but it'll just feel more like a superhero film than Nolans Batman films.

Tuomas Lassila on Jan 7, 2015

36

I'd totally love it if this turned out anything like Raimi's first two Spiderman films. Esp. the second one had a lot of drama going on, but was still funny

Terry Craig on Jan 7, 2015

37

I thought I was the only one who dislikes Spider-Man 2.

Tuomas Lassila on Jan 8, 2015

38

Trailer =/= movie.

ryderup on Jan 7, 2015

39

Did anyone see the test footage that was shown at SDCC 2012? I believe it was that year, anyway that was the Ant Man I wanted to see. This trailer didn't seem to have the same effect. I'm a huge Paul Rudd fan but to put such a funny character into a serious kind of role just didn't make sense to me.

blkstar on Jan 7, 2015

40

You're right. Robert Downey Jr. was not the right choice...er, Paul Rudd, I mean.

Maxx on Jan 7, 2015

41

Did you actually try and compare Downey to Rudd? That right there shows I don't need to say anymore. Feel free to put foot in mouth.

blkstar on Jan 8, 2015

42

I'm glad that your three likes have helped your self esteem. Everyone deserves to feel good about themselves at some point. This life is too short to stand around hating oneself. Now let's get what I meant out there. I think you thought I was comparing their acting ability. Not at all. I was bringing up the huge upset that ensued when Downey was announced as Iron Man. He was a huge gamble. No one thought he could cut it. And he blew us away. By the way, funny guy in a serious kind of role happened there too. He was a frakkin hostage to terrorists in caves. What I was saying was to give Rudd the same chance. Even if he doesn't deliver, I feel no need to put my foot in my mouth because, again, that isn't my point. Before you try to jab someone, be sure to bring your wit. Have a nice day!

Maxx on Jan 8, 2015

43

I don't take anything to heart, I come here to post my opinion and like to engage in the playful argument. I don't post for likes and I am shocked people actually post back to me about what I have to say. Reading your first response, it just came off as if you were comparing the two actors. I'll admit I wasn't thrilled knowing Downey was going to play Stark but I knew he could do it based on his past. Rudd is a great comedian and he has been in numerous movies but I can't think of one that was a serious role. To me these movies do well when they are taken seriously and they do exceptionally well with adding a little comedy to them. I never said Rudd couldn't play the role, I just didn't imagine they would go with an actor who has never played at least one serious role. I'm not a huge fan of Ant Man so non of this really matters to me, but if I am going to have to see Rudd reprise this role as an Avenger later on I just hope he brings what the character needs. So far Marvel has done pretty well, lets just hope they can keep that up.

blkstar on Jan 8, 2015

44

I responded as I did because I meant my comment as a quip to accompany your post. I am known to have a little acid on my tongue so I apologize. You are a champion among commenters. I couldn't agree with you more on that point. Casting a primarily comedic actor as a "hero" is an odd choice. Though he did turn out some good albeit minimal drama amid comedy in the films My Idiot Brother and Prince Avalanche. I am a stage actor and I find that comedians have a stronger command of drama than most. My biggest concern is Peyton Reed as a director. I look at his history and it worries me. I fear that he will use Rudd's comedic abilities for the very reason that you stated. But if they follow the comics right and the situation with his daughter is the same then I am hopeful that they will bring the right tone that Marvel has supplied.

Maxx on Jan 8, 2015

45

And know that I have the utmost respect for you. You have made some good points on previous Firstshowing articles.

Maxx on Jan 8, 2015

46

I really liked the slow build with the building music in the background as Douglas went through his 'sell'. I also liked the surprise on Rudd's face when Douglas said about being Ant Man and also the final bit about it being too late to change the name. It demonstrates a good awareness by Marvel that being able to go small and control insects isn't that 'sexy' compared to some of the other superheroes. However, I totally respect Marvel for taking a chance and broadening their base. If they can keep with their Avengers fail safe and use that success to encourage tackling something a little less sure fire, then I'm all up for it. I'll be queuing up to buy my ticket.

Payne by name on Jan 7, 2015

First trained dino's, now trained flies? What's next; trained bacteria? Was wrong about GotG though, so I'll postpone my judgement on this one. Don't wanna look like an idiot again...

Nash on Jan 7, 2015

48

yea alright we're in. But we saw NOTHING! No more false anticipation Marvel.

Perry Pijnenburg on Jan 7, 2015

49

Woah...definitely a new look for the MCU. Well, maybe not that radically different, but nonetheless, different. I really liked the transformation. I will definitely be seeing this movie come hell or high water.

DAVIDPD on Jan 7, 2015

50

The tone of the trailer seems really off. Didn't really generate any interest for me.

800millionman on Jan 7, 2015

51

There is nothing interesting in this trailer. I don't even think this is a must watch. The sound's a crap, the idea weak and even the action scenes seem's like Daredevil with some special effects. Ok, first glimpse didn't caught my attention. But it's a Marvel movie, so... let's wait.

ANOTHERDUMUSER on Jan 7, 2015

52

I reckon if he could shrink that small in real life he'd get used as a sex toy, not a superhero.

Carpola on Jan 7, 2015

53

How would he be used as a sex toy? He's the size of an ant.

Reznik on Jan 7, 2015

54

Michael Douglas would stick him in his urethra and make hime run around or something, I dunno.

Carpola on Jan 7, 2015

55

LOL

AwesomeWave on Jan 7, 2015

56

hahaha

shane willett on Jan 9, 2015

57

Wasn't a a trailer guys, just a teaser and that's what it did, tease us. Can't wait to see a full trailer and get a sense of the plot. And you know they realize the concept is a bit wacky with Rudd pretty much making fun of the name

David Diaz on Jan 7, 2015

58

No holy crap moments means it didn't do it's job very well as a teaser. FAIL.

Zane on Jan 7, 2015

59

So Ant-Man was originally Michael Douglas... passing on the mantle to Paul Rudd. I'm guessing the guy with the "cool guy walk" from Homeland and House of Cards listed as Yellow Jacket on IMDB is the bad guy. This should have been a made for tv movie aka free to watch. Looks boring.

Zane on Jan 7, 2015

60

The visual effects looks like a bad video game too.

Zane on Jan 7, 2015

61

I don't see the draw here. Didn't really see it with the comic/character either though. Shall await reviews I suppose.

avconsumer2 on Jan 7, 2015

62

Something about this feels fanmade, and I think it's the crummy predictable dialogue. Liked the quip at the end though, hopefully it'll be like DKR, how no one ever said 'Catwoman'.

OfficialJab on Jan 7, 2015

63

I immediately thought Daredevil, but then i thought. finally Marvel has something they can rival DC's Green Lantern with.

shane willett on Jan 7, 2015

64

For a teaser trailer it was very intense! Loving it!

Tuomas Lassila on Jan 7, 2015

65

I don't know about this.... the teaser tries to have a serious tone, but every time Paul Rudd says something it's a comedic line, which sounds misplaced.... is it a drama, is it a comedy? I can't tell.... Hopefully the film is better than this trailer...

TheOct8pus on Jan 7, 2015

66

Paul Rudd does pull off the confused look very well....

TheOct8pus on Jan 7, 2015

67

This will be a flop....that trailer was very underwhelming...the stakes don't look high and I don't even know if there is a villian or not. Alex change the title from "must watch" to "watch"....you are doing you site a disservice

Trey on Jan 7, 2015

68

Looks terrible

Tester on Jan 7, 2015

69

Director was a poor choice, Michael Douglas poor choice, Paul Rudd is only funny when he's complaining about being old... this movie will only be good for the action moments.. which will probably be about 30 mins of the movie.. Studio turned this into another Dare Devil or Elektra movie... finally Marvel will have something that looks good but tastes bad, kind of Like DC's Green Lantern, one hot mess. Should have kept Edgar Wright on board, in exchange you got the Step Brothers director.. that movie sucked !

shane willett on Jan 7, 2015

70

No, you did not get the Step Brothers director.

ryderup on Jan 7, 2015

71

Well i was wrong , Peyton Reed the famous director known for Bring it On... which is a movie that makes me hate MTV even more so than i ever did, is directing this... it will be pure garbage - this guy has made female focused teen comedies ... what happened to this possibly great movie, it feels like a made for TV movie, with the possibility of have as much drama as My So Called Life, plus every movie he has done has gotten a 6.8 or below, and Disney was okay with this... just goes to show you how much they really care.. this project has been messed up since the 2nd script - this will turn out like TMNT: Turtle in Time or Batman Forever if were lucky..

shane willett on Jan 8, 2015

72

Can I use your time machine please?

Brian Sleider on Jan 7, 2015

73

For a teaser, it peaked my interest. Plus, you know darn well there will be plenty of other Marvel Universe references throughout the film.

theslayer5150 on Jan 7, 2015

74

The more I watch it, the more I like it. Although I'm looking forward to Ultron, I do know what I'm going to get from that and hence the anticipation/expectation is different. There'll be some fan pleasing bits, some cool interactions, there could be some are they really dead moments but ultimately, and with the main characters future films already being pushed, no real tension or surprises. I don't yet know where Ant-man is going to go and assuming the next trailer doesn't give too much away, means that when I walk into the cinema I won't be quite sure what I'm going to get. That to me is refreshingly exciting and does exactly what a teaser should do. Build excitement/raise awareness. My interest has been aroused, the assurance of quality is there from a brand that I recognise but I don't know what main course I'm going to be served. I really hope that Marvel have the courage to maintain the film's mystique and provide me with an exciting yet unknown cinema going experience.

Payne by name on Jan 7, 2015

75

I'm cautiously optimistic after seeing the trailer...but not completely sold...yet... But thank CHRIST they cast Paul Rudd!

RAW_D on Jan 7, 2015

76

Nah. Only Marvel geeks will get this, average Joe's will laugh at the concept

Sean on Jan 7, 2015

77

Talking Raccoon.

mooreworthy on Jan 7, 2015

78

I really miss more perspective on female characters. And yeah, why can't they change the name of the hero? It really sounds ridiculous ...

shiboleth on Jan 7, 2015

79

That's historically the name of the hero, they're just poking fun at it, no need to actually change the name unless you actually change what defines said hero. People tend to underestimate Ant-Man though, writing him (Pym, Lang, etc.) off as 'lame' and 'useless'. Get ready to watch Scott Lang kick some ass on his way to the A-list.

Dimius on Jan 7, 2015

80

I wouldn't argue with your historical lesson and didn't want to question the origin of the name in the first place. However, I do side with those who claim that this was rather a real good historical and practical joke to name a hero with the name 'Ant-Man'. But, as I anticipated already, I have no intention to rob anybody of the pleasure they have in it ...

shiboleth on Jan 8, 2015

81

I hope Michael Pena becomes a major Marvel character. I love that guy.

Astroboy3000 on Jan 7, 2015

82

That would be sweet, he is so versitile and extremely talented.

mooreworthy on Jan 7, 2015

83

This trailer got the "must watch" treatment?

ragethorn on Jan 7, 2015

84

lol, my exact thought.

ErrorSapiens on Jan 7, 2015

85

This is a comedy, right?

AwesomeWave on Jan 7, 2015

86

I wonder how much of the VFX work, Marvel is sending overseas thus killing the industry I. The very city were Marvel resides. Thnk you, Victoria Alonso.

See You Soon on Jan 8, 2015
