[Movies] Ant-Man

Not a fan of the mask and the Darth Vader breathing, but the concept seems sound enough. I'd probably watch this.

It is test footage, so it's likely the suit is not the final one. Even then, this is supposed to be his origin, so likely the scene in question involves him utilizing a prototype version of his suit at some point in the beginning, similar to how in the first Iron Man he went through three total suits.

I am pretty confident they won't utilize the wife beating angle. Tony Stark always had that stigma as a raging alcoholic, yet the only time they showed him drunk during his movies was in the second movie, while going through a personal crisis, making it understandable to have a small breakdown. Wife beating would just be to much for movie audiences to handle in a hero.
 
Simon Pegg loves to mess with people via his twitter. it is impossible to know what, if any, meaning is behind those two tweets.




Edit: Why did no one tell me I had copied and pasted the wrong url? Damn phone. Good album though, that. Fixed now.

Interviewer: "One of the great things of this film is, the idea that... failing something early in life and kind of going back and trying to redo it. What is something that you guys have failed at that, y'know, maybe early in life that you wish you could go back, and get a second chance to try one more time again?"

Simon: "I wouldn't point at that picture of Ant-Man at Marvel. Cause that caused a big storm."
 
Official release date changed from November to July 31st, 2015.


Your wait for director Marvel Studios' highly-anticipated "Ant-Man" feature film, directed by Edgar Wright, just got a few months shorter!
Arriving in theaters July 31, Marvel's "Ant-Man" joins Marvel's "Avengers: Age of Ultron"--out May 1, 2015--for a one-two knockout punch in the summer of 2015! Stay tuned to Marvel.com for much more about "Ant-Man"!
This means it comes out just 3 months after Avengers 2, and while Batman vs Superman is still in theatres.
 
They can be out for blood all they want - the biggest amount of money isn't coming from comic fans but from regular audiences, and I' about 157% sure that "Ant-Man" isn't going to make a dent compared to Avengers 2 or B&S.
 
Ant-Man probably isn't going to be released as a Batman vs Superman killer, rather it's the followup in the 2015 one-two punch from Marvel. Avengers 2 in May to kick off the summer blockbuster season, Ant-Man at the end of July to give ticket sales a boost, while Avengers 2 is still fresh in everyone's mind. Batman vs Superman is also released in July if I'm not mistaken.

My guess is that Marvel are probably going to introduce plot lines in Avengers 2 that will be resolved in Ant-Man. So now theatergoers will go "Well, I'm in the mood for one more superhero movie this summer, so I can either watch Batman and Superman, or I can find out how so-and-so ends by watching Ant-Man."

Yeah, good luck. I don't want to be the guys who have to have "Ant-Man" compete with "BATMAN & SUPERMAN BANG SOME BITCHES & HAVE THE MOST AMAZING FIGHTS WITH SOME BAD GUYS YOU'VE EVER SEEN".


Although honestly they aren't really going head to head with B&S. Opening several weeks after means they will probably catch some of the coattails of the big superhero movies of the summer. It probably wasn't going to be the biggest Marvel film of all time but having it closer to Avengers 2 is a wise move, especially if they do tie it in like you said bhamv.

Honestly, the average movie goer barely even know that Batman and Captain America are owned by two different comic companies. :p

I've had to explain multiple times why Spider-man and X-Men can't be involved in the other Marvel Movie franchises, so people nowadays tend to see super-hero movies as super-hero movies.

My main point is, I don't think people will care that Ant Man isn't as popular as other characters in the Marvel universe, just that to them it will be a new comic book movie.
 
Sigh, this still makes me sad that Ant Man won't be in the next Avengers movie.

Can we at least have Wasp? Sure would make the Avengers less of a super sausage party.

YES, I would like to see a super-heroin (not a T&A tease) on the team. Black Widow is quite lame.
 
That's her Captain Marvel outfit and also, why the lesbian comment?
First thing that popped in my mind... lets pretend the haircut makes her look like the previous female Captain Marvel, and i'm not a horrible bigot.
 
I'd actually prefer Ms. Marvel to Wasp. I never found Janet to be that interesting of a character.

Also, wasn't it already revealed that we're getting Wanda and Pietro in the next movie?
 
Irony is that the tomboy fighter pilot gets a high maintenance New York high fashion hair cut, and that's what starts the lesbian comments.
Hey, i'm an enlightened bigot, i don't hold what her job is against her... just how she styles her hair...

I'd rather have Ms. Marvel than the Scarlet Witch. Mutant magic/magic characters are less compelling to me. Though, I'll take the witch over Black Widow.
 
Yeah, but the Scarlet Witch keeps going crazy.

I always liked Black Widow and the other "normal" characters such as Hawkeye and Mockingbird. They practiced, trained, and disciplined themselves over and over until they got really good.
