The only fun parts will be what they stole from Wright.

Is it really stealing when you've been paid for it?

 

[Dmax3901]

They acknowledge this already, but I'm curious what you think a good alternative name would be.

Andrew Smallman.

 

[farisr]

The effects looked much better than I expected, and that last train bit. LOL. I was kinda iffy on the movie, but will definitely watch this movie in theaters now. I don't think I've missed a single MCU movie yet.

 

[Robot Pants]

I don't see this movie doing very well. Could be wrong

People said the same thing about Guardians of the Galaxy among others. It's hard to project what will do well with word of mouth and good reviews after its released.

Define: Well.

Hehe.

 

[Pez]

I'm not really expecting much from this movie other than a continuation of the MCU.

As long as I enjoy sitting through it, I'm not looking for much else. I'm looking more forward to how he'll integrate into a proper Avengers movie, as Paul Rudd's best strengths are when he's playing off someone.

The great thing too is that there's always a second chance for these characters after mega films like Avengers 3. Cap 1 sucked, but Winter Soldier post-Avengers turned out awesome!

 

[mreddie]

Jones would have been great but I'm honestly not seeing what's wrong with Lily. Haven't seen her in much so I guess it's less noticeable, but in this trailer she looked fine.

Some shots, she looks odd and yet, looks fine when she punches Rudd.

 

[ATastyMuffin]

It's very...Marvel-esque. Bright lighting, occasional witty humour, female supporting character who knows how to fight, business executive antagonist who fights protagonist with similar technology, etc.

I don't know, it looks rather mediocre outside of the fight scenes, which look, visually, splendid.

So $600 million, easy.

Yeah. YouTube screen grabs here and obviously they're different angles, but she looks a lot better in the recent trailer. Might be that jacket actually, it's kinda ugly.

 

[bananafactory]

With how big Marvel is now I don't see how this pulls anything less than Cap 1 or Thor. Thor was a pretty odd sell at the time too, and Chris Hemsworth was nowhere near as big a name then as Paul Rudd is now.

The question is what would be considered a 'failure'. Less than 600 million? Should clear that easily.

 

[Kevinroc]

It's still amazing that Marvel was able to get this movie made even after all the problems it had.

Post Avengers hype should ensure that it easily clears that.

I wonder what the Avengers 2 bump is going to look like when it comes to Phase 3

 

[ratcliffja]

That scene broke my heart.

 

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

I'm still not sure what to expect from this movie, but it at least looks like it'll be fun.

 

[bananafactory]

I honestly am not convinced that Avengers 2 will top Avengers 1, either in opening weekend or overall. Will do extraordinarily well no doubt, but I wonder if some of the novelty is gone now that it's been done before.

I reckon opening weekend yes, overall I'm unsure.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Anyone catch the 2001 homage?

:lol

 

[Maddocks]

That looked way better then I expected. Still not super hyped, but looks like a fun flick.

No doubt. Opening weekend will beat the original but lifetime, ehhh not sold on it yet.

I should have read this before I said that

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...s-summer-box-office-could-be-the-largest-ever

The latest from Disney’s Marvel Studios, Age of Ultron will open with domestic weekend sales of $217 million, breaking the record set by its predecessor The Avengers, which collected $207 million

$217 million? DAMN

Yup, AoU is a monster. Stick this trailer in front of it and Ant-Man has a chance of clearing a billion.

 

[Frog-fu]

Great trailer. It's a lot more comedic than the first seemed to indicate.

 

[ChosenPredator]

thats a good hype train derailed gif lol

 

[Slayven]

The lost lady looks like she has on a bad wig

 

[ChosenPredator]

Choo choo!

it's funny because when he appears he's probably going to kill half of the marvel cast lol

 

[pixelation]

Color me interested, wasn't even on my radar before...

 

[Road]

I haven't seen so many jokes fall so flat in one trailer. If you replaced Paul Rudd with Adam Sandler I wouldn't know the difference.

Still hoping for reverse trailer curse (garbage trailer -> good movie).

 

[BobTheFork]

:/ Nothing I've seen so far has gotten me excited....not sure why.

It looks nice but the characters so far aren't interesting me in the slightest.
Genius gets super science-tech stolen
Rogue looking for redemption
That line from YellowJacket - 'you can't change anything'

Generic honestly isn't the term I want to use but I'm not seeing anything to draw me to this movie.

 

[Zeyphersan]

He's definitely killing all the ones whose contracts are expiring <_<

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

I hope Stoll seriously brings the menace, creeps, and craziness to Yellowjacket.

I can't bare another shallow MCU villain. Gimme someone totally insane. Let's go Bond villain insane.

 

[SketchTheArtist]

Is it me or we can see the reshoot scenes with different dialogue like the interrogation scene between Douglas and Rudd; different lighting, delivery and dialogue for the similar scene. Hmmmm.

Dunno if the reshoot was to change the tone a bit, make it way more like a comedy than something that didn't know what it was. Like the teaser trailer led it to be believed.

[TheSadRanger]

Movie looks good from the trailer but it seems like they gave away the plot synopsis for the whole movie in it.

I know it's a comic book movie but maybe they should have toned it down a bit. I don't see why they had to show so much in it.

 

[ReplacementPelican]

Anyone catch the 2001 homage?

That's incredible, thanks for pointing it out!

 

[ArchedThunder]

Best and most sympathetic MCU villain, bar none.

How many times do you have to do the "evil version of the hero" villain?

Iron Man 1 & 2

Every issue

 

[Eighty Deuce]

The hype didn't kick in until I watched the trailer a second time.

 

[Prompto]

Looks good. Much better trailer than the first.

Iron Man 1 & 2
Winter Soldier
Hulk

Does Loki count?

I'd say Captain America 1 as well.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Damnit Marvel

How many times do you have to do the "evil version of the hero" villain?

This is pretty much the fundamental superhero trope, isn't it? Expecting deviation from that part of the formula is a bit much, even for a sideshow like Ant Man.

I'd say Captain America 1 as well.

I'd include every super hero movie ever made and the overwhelming majority of superhero comics ever printed.

Dude step away from the computer.

 

[ArchedThunder]

Dude step away from the computer.

If Ant-Man did 1 billion would would laugh so fucking hard, and then question how the fuck it happened in this realm of existence.
