Marvel has already had one hell of a year with Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War. They’re hoping to continue that with their third movie of 2018, Ant-Man and The Wasp, which has just dropped a new trailer.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘From the Marvel Cinematic Universe comes “Ant Man and The Wasp,” a new chapter featuring heroes with the astonishing ability to shrink. In the aftermath of “Captain America: Civil War,” Scott Lang grapples with the consequences of his choices as both a Super Hero and a father. As he struggles to rebalance his home life with his responsibilities as Ant-Man, he’s confronted by Hope van Dyne and Dr. Hank Pym with an urgent new mission. Scott must once again put on the suit and learn to fight alongside The Wasp as the team works together to uncover secrets from the past.’
The movie is due out August 3rd. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]
It’s a busy year for Marvel, as they have Black Panther out in a couple of weeks, followed by Avengers: Infinity War in early way. Normally two movies in a year is enough, but they’re also preparing Ant-Man And The Wasp for an August release.
Marvel hasn’t had a real failure yet despite making films from properties many people couldn’t work on screen. That’s certainly true of Ant-Man, especially after director Edgar Wright left it behind, as many thought he was the only one who could turn it into something worthwhile.
In just a couple of weeks we’ll get to see whether Marvel’s gamble on Ant-Man can follow in the footsteps of Thor and Iron Man in the realms of superheroes many thought couldn’t work on the screen, but which turned out to be pretty good.
The one thing the world has always needed is more posters where the person in it is all blurry. Ant-Man has decided to help the cause with a series of character posters where the main thing in focus in the little hero and not the character he’s with.
With Avengers: Age Of Ultron having already grossed $1.3 billion, Marvel/Disney is already having a great year, and they’ll be hoping for another hit in a couple of months with Ant-Man. Now a new poster has arrived, which you can take a look at above.
There comes a time in every Marvel film’s life when it needs a poster full of floating heads and bodies in an explosion of Photoshop-montage work, all while the characters look off into the middle-distance. It’s a bit daft but it works, and it has done for decades, not just for Marvel movies.
Ever since was first rumoured Ant-Man sounded like an odd hero to get a blockbuster adventure, but seeing as people said the same about pretty much every other character Marvel’s given a movie – from Iron Man to Thor – before they went on to huge success, there’s every reason to believe this new movie will be worth a look too.
