Marvel's ANT-MAN Trailer #1

No, they're reinterpreting that. Probably indicating that Hank/Janet were heroes in like the 70's or something.
Anyways, I'm not crazy about the trailer. Nothing really stood out, which isn't surprising considering the last-second director. Hopefully the next trailer will leave a more meaningful impression. I'll still watch it. Just disappointed. Hopefully the film is more lighthearted.
The actual in-costume Antman parts looked really nice, everything else looked pretty generic in my opinion. I was hoping for a bit more personality injected into this movie like we saw with Guardians.
Still, there's plenty of time for more trailers so I won't be too hasty to judge.

Yikes.
I wonder if this movie will do poorly because the expectation that is has to topple the big bombastic comic movies that came and will out. How do you build an origin story and then have presumably a focused one on one action sequence to end the film on?
Also with Avengers do you think that people will watch Ultron and then come back 2-3 months later to see another comic book movie or will they have their fill?

Yep. I mean I know people are going to eat up anything marvel does cuz comicz but maybe they could spend a little more on a competent cinematographer.
Lol, really? You got that from the trailer?
Oh man, when people want to hate a thing nothing will stop them.

Like financially or critically?
I think it will take a few subpar films to start seeing financial loss (though I think this will be their lowest grossing film since Cap America), but Thor 2 was pretty underwhelming critically.

Is it just me or did the footage look very...tvshowesque, like this could be a new series on fox next fall!

Waited for the hook and it never came. I understand why the effects-heavy action scenes aren't ready to show, with the rushed production and all. But really, that's the first impression you want to make? Get 'em next time. The old test footage sold Ant-Man in thirty seconds.

As someone who doesnt know the source material, me and my girlfriend were both super disappointed. We have been huge fans of the Marvel films (neither of us have read comics ever) but this just looks bad.

Will post in this thread as well.
Just like GotG! Oh Wait...
Unfortunately the movie will be about saving the world.
Yeah but all I'm saying is, that I like the dynamic of him having a daughter. At least one of our heroes have a child and a more down to earth family to care about too.
Ah cool thanks for the clarification! I thought we were going to see Yellowjacket but perhaps the origins for that have likewise been modified for the MCU such that we won't necessarily see Michael Douglas playing that role.

Damn, we getting "looks like a tv show" comments in here? Really?
I thought that was painful. How many times is that joke done across all comic movies? Or some variation of a name joke. Just lame.
Perhaps Paul Feig has been behind the camera all along
Hopefully the movie does not end up being:
Ant-Man: The Thor 2 of Marvel movies
The Outsider

I think every Marvel movie gets a handful of those.
I absolutely agree that the movie Wright wanted to make would have been a self-contained story with more personal stakes.
Lol.
Mods on here use it all the time, grossly enough
Not arguing that this was the greatest teaser ever. But it seems like a lot of people here are ready to hate on this movie even though there isn't much to show. I'm unsure as well considering the troubled development of this movie and Wright leaving, but that's not to say that I don't have at least a little optimism that the final product will turn out ok.
That lens flare is not awesome :/

I thought the marvel movies were too lighthearted and didn't take themselves seriously enough, based on like every criticism in these movie threads
I liked the trailer, though I was already sold on it from day 1 being ant man. Can't wait to see what they do!

It's a part of the character's origin in the comics, it's not the kind of thing they would throw out just because it was in Wright's script that they adapted.
Want to hate? Come on man. I'll give just about anything a shot, but when two lines of his that are supposed to make me laugh fall flat, yeah, I can already tell that they could've gotten someone better for me anyway.
It's the guy from Clueless.
Agreed. Say what you want about the tone of the trailer, but the cinematography looked pretty dynamic to me.
I'm not gonna write the film off just because of one teaser trailer.
Meanwhile Batman is being played by that douche manager from Mallrats. Jeeze!

"Eat crow again"? What other movie did people have to eat crow from? Aside from Captain America 2, all of Marvel's movies since Iron Man 1 have been terrible.

They got the cinematographer of Titanic on this. I don't know if that's good, it's been years since I last watched it.
Oh Jack.

Huge Marvel fan.
I still think this will be Marvels first real misstep. I'm all for Ant Man in the MCU but he shouldn't have a stand alone film.
I hope I'm wrong
