Alright, hands up – who’s excited for Marvel’s Ant-Man? Don’t worry, my hand’s not up, either. Regardless of how much I love Paul Rudd as an actor, this just isn’t my thing at all, so I can’t muster up too much enthusiasm for the trailer, which hit the internet yesterday. Of course, if you’re a Marvel fan and a Paul Rudd fan, you’re in luck and this is likely a Big Deal for you.
Here we go:
If you’re unfamiliar with the Ant-Man story, here’s a brief synopsis: With the ability to shrink in size but grow in strength, a con man (Paul Rudd) must help his mentor (Michael Douglas) protect the secret of his Ant-Man suit and pull off a heist that will save the world.
Sounds riveting, now?
Ant-Man will be in theatres on July 17 and also stars Evangeline Lilly, Judy Greer and Bobby Cannavale.
What do you think?
Marvel has a lot of comic characters but Ant Man is pretty close to the bottom of the barrel. I wouldn’t even consider seeing this and I hope they made it as camp comedy.
