Ant-Man The Official Ant-Man News and Speculation Thread - Part 6

[terry78]

Marvel is currently in Pixar mode right now. Even if something fails, it'll be a spectacular one that still makes bank. That little red label is a license to print money.

Devin has also seen the new trailer, and he echoes Mr. Beak's sentiment about the train scene.

So apparently we're getting a new trailer on Monday, and it seems like Marvel have another hit on their hands if its any indication.

Devin Faraci ‏@devincf
Just saw the new ANT-MAN trailer. There's a GREAT model train bit.

Steven Weintraub ‏@colliderfrosty
It's the next ANT-MAN trailer. Has a lot of yellow jacket and action. Ends with a fun bit featuring a train set.

Jeremy Smith ‏@mrbeaks

Germain Lussier ‏@GermainLussier
Any doubts you had about Ant-Man are going away on Monday. The new trailer is legit.

Sean Gerber - MMM ‏@ModernMythMedia
#AntMan trailer was so freakin' cool! #Marvel does it again!!!

Reid Jones ‏@ReidJones5
@AntMan AMAZING trailer, so excited for it drop Monday, April 13th! You blew everyone in the room away, and got some awesome laughs in too.

MouseInfo ‏@MouseInfo
Just got to see the final trailer for #AntMan in 3D - honestly, it looks awesome. Paul Rudd can do anything

 

[TheVision]

Marvel is giving us everything, Daredevil covers the more adult side of the MCU and ANT-MAN covers the family friendly sci fi action comedy side in the tradition of GOTG. Its awesome stuff.

 

[Dyson]

VERY excited for this new trailer! Sounds like this will be the trailer that will show the naysayers that Ant-Man is going to be another hit for Marvel and that the film didn't need Edgar Wright at the helm.

Here are some details on the new trailer!

So happy to see so many positive tweets. I thought the 1st trailer was good but a decent amount hated it. I hope those who are still upset Wright left don't hate it regardless, it seems like they might actually have a hit on their hand.

Kevin Feige Explains ‘Ant-Man’s’ MCU Significance

http://www.slashfilm.com/kevin-feige-ant-man-marvel-cinematic-universe/

It’s not [an after thought]. The truth is the phases mean a lot to me and some people but…Civil War is the start of Phase Three. It just is. And Ant-Man is a different kind of culmination of Phase Two because it very much is in the MCU.

You meet new characters and you learn about Hank Pym and his lineage with the MCU over the years. But at the same time, it also picks up the thread of Age of Ultron in terms of heroes – major heroes, Avengers – coming from unexpected places. Whether it’s prison in the case of Scott Lang or being a very disgruntled Sokovian Twins as Wanda and Pietro are in Age of Ultron. And in that way it connects a lot.

Also, Hank Pym’s attitude towards Avengers, towards S.H.I.E.L.D, and kind of the cinematic universe in general, is much more informed after the events of Age of Ultron, and in a certain way, before the events of Civil War.

Ant-Man having a battle on a model train set in a girl's bedroom.

That sentence has so many random things happening, I want to see it on screen.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Didn't even think about there being a new trailer. A big "duh" for me.

And the model train set thing sounds fantastic. That is very Ant-Man.

 

[Joesh]

But one involves a model train set in what looks like a little girl’s bedroom set, and there is a visual joke involving Thomas the Tank Engine that might be one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie

Oh man I can't wait for this.

 

[Joesh]

I don't know if this was posted but on LaineyGossip they wrote this

I know its a gossip site but she has proved several times that she's legit with movies news, she even got to see early screenings of CA:TWS and GotG.

Lord, this may be Marvel's most successful year to date.

 

[MahvelBaby!]

Super hype for this trailer what a sweet surprise after the awesomeness that was daredevil.

 

[TX85]

I'm so damn curious about this train model fight scene now and am very interested in seeing Pym's attitude/thoughts towards the MCU and especially avengers and modern day shield!

 

[PacificBoy]

I'm pretty high on Marvel after binging on Daredevil. Went to The Avengers thread and soaked up the early buzz on AoU, and swung by here, not expecting anything, and got a pageful of hype. The shrink-fu action as described in the Cinemablend article sounds fantastic. First time I'm saying this with enthusiasm, but Monday here I come!

 

[samsnee]

Anyone know what time the trailer will drop? I'm shocked we didn't get a teaser of the trailer. Hopefully that trend is dying.

 

[BatsDC]

They'll inevitably release something later.

 

[Flint Marko]

Lord, this may be Marvel's most successful year to date.

Lol I think one could argue it already is, Avengers AoU just has to meet expectations and they've got 2015 on lock as their best year yet.

 

[Village_Idiot]

Marvel must love trains...............lol

We'll see if this can rival the train battle of Spider-man and Doc Ock , or even the train battle in the last Wolverine movie

can't wait

 

[Mike Murdock]

Lol I think one could argue it already is, Avengers AoU just has to meet expectations and they've got 2015 on lock as their best year yet.

Last year with TWS and GOTG was pretty good too. Agents of SHIELD started weak, which might be a point off, but I think Marvel also saw their risks rewarded. The gamble of AoS paid off when it tied in so closely with the movies and the gamble of Guardians paid off with massive popularity by everyone.

2015 might be their best yet with Daredevil being great and these two movies, but let's see after AoU to be sure.

 

[chamber-music]

Me too. The stuff in the comic con footage with Pym saying superheroes are egomaniacs and undisciplined morons who cause more destruction than they stop seems to be his stance on them.

I wonder if it will lead into Pym playing some kind of role in Civil War if he survives Ant-Man.

 

[JLMHodge]

The description of the new trailer with the train scene made me laugh a lot harder than it should have.

2014 was great, no question about it, but with both Daredevil and Agent Carter, on top of Avengers and Ant-man, we are seeing the universe expand in a lot of unique ways. You're right in that we'll have to wait until May to be sure, but if Age of Ultron is even half of what it looks to be I think the argument could still be made in 2015's favor.
Either way I love that this is a debate. Marvel continually tops themselves, it's a great time to be a Marvel fan.

 

[TheVision]

what I love about Ant-Man is how it turns regular spaces into epic mini landscapes. We havent seen that in a film in a long time and it sounds like itll be really exciting with how they filmed it. Think how far FX have come since stuff like The Incredible Shrinking Man or Honey I Shrunk the Kids.

True. So many movies have an exciting premise but fail to capitalize on them fully, and the end product is just unimaginative and stale (Green Lantern, for instance) which makes the disappointment that much more crushing.
I'm hoping Peyton Reed and Marvel are able to take this concept and fully explore it in imaginative, fun ways that are largely unfamiliar to modern movie goers.

I'm feeling good that Peyton Reed, Kevin Feige and the whole Ant-Man have pulled this off in spades. I really think this will be the surprise movie of the summer.
