While Marvel’s cinematic universe has been wildly successful, it’s not resting on its laurels and is now in expansion mode, with films about various new characters in the works. The first of those to arrive will be Ant-Man, which is due to arrive in UK cinemas July 17th, 2015.
Now to get us excited, the first trailer and ‘ant-sized’ poster for the movie have arrived, which you can see below, along with a bit of a close-up on Paul Rudd in the poster from the latest cover of EW (click on the pics for larger versions).
