New ANT-MAN TV Spot and Posters Incorporate The Avengers
From what we've heard about Ant-Man as it made its way through development, the movie has always seemed to be fairly disconnected with the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Rumors abound that the studio wanted to include more connections to the MCU, and that's partially what caused the rift between the execs and original director Edgar Wright, but we'll have to wait for the eventual tell-all story to come out a few years from now before we discover the truth.
In any case, the marketing campaign is now directly referencing The Avengers in a new TV spot and three new posters, presumably in the hopes of letting people know that this inherently ridiculous character actually does have some bearing on the future of the MCU (he's next slated to appear in Captain America: Civil War). What do you all think about the new TV spot and these posters?
Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, master thief Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.
Ant-Man arrives on July 17th, and you can now see six minutes of footage in an IMAX presentation attached to Jurassic World.
