You'll Need a Magnifying Glass for Marvel's First Official ANT-MAN Poster
*Updated post with EW's cover that actually takes a magnifying glass to the poster above.
Marvel is at it again with their ant-sized Ant-Man marketing antics. The first thing they released for the movie was an ant-sized teaser trailer, but we eventually got a human-sized preview. Now the studio has released the first official poster for the movie, and a magnifying glass would really come in handy for it. I think this is an amusing marketing campaign that they're running for the film. Sure, some people will find it annoying, but the studio is having fun with the character! I'm sure we'll get a more epic poster for the film in the near future.
Stay tuned for the the full teaser trailer, which is supposed to premiere tonight during the two-hour series premiere of Agent Carter. We'll make sure to get it up on the site for you as soon as it's available online.
Here's the magazine cover!
The next evolution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe brings a founding member of The Avengers to the big screen for the first time with Marvel Studios’ Ant-Man. Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, master thief Scott Lang must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, 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.
The movie stars Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas, Evangeline Lilly, Corey Stoll, Judy Greer, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Pena, John Slattery, and Hayley Atwell. It's set to be released on July 17th, 2015.
