Ant-Man Trailer Teases an Insect Soldier

Tonight during the MTV Movie Awards, Marvel premiered an Ant-Man trailer teaser. The upcoming film starts Paul Rudd as Scott Lang, a thief who works with brilliant inventor Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) to pull off a heist that will save the world.

Ant-Man feels like the lost film of the MCU right now. Iron Man 3 had an entire year to follow The Avengers; Ant-Man has two months to follow Avengers: Age of Ultron. The movie also isn’t the start of Phase Three, so it’s a post-script for a new hero that could use the support. I hope the film doesn’t get squished, and hopefully the full trailer will get people interested in the little hero.

Check out the Ant-Man trailer teaser below, and come back tomorrow for the full trailer. The film opens July 17th, and also stars July 17th, and also stars Evangeline Lilly, Corey Stoll, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña, Abby Ryder Fortson, David Dastmalchian, Wood Harris, Judy Greer, Gregg Turkington, T.I., and John Slattery.
