Marvel has released some new posters which have Ant-Man standing next to some of our favorite Avengers, along with a new TV spot which has Paul Rudd mentioning that they should “call the Avengers.”
Yesterday, it was announced that a six minute Ant-Man trailer would be shown in front of IMAX Jurassic World showings this weekend, and today we have some great new posters comparing the tiny superhero to his fellow Avengers. Check out the three new posters, as well as some new footage from the film:
It’s great to see Ant-Man will have some Avengers references in it, and the posters are a nice touch of marketing, in an attempt to grab the fans from the other franchises. Ant-Man isn’t a guaranteed success, due to the character being somewhat unknown to the average moviegoer, but this is the perfect way to get fans of The Avengers to go see Ant-Man.
When we got our first look at Paul Rudd as Ant-Man it revealed a much darker tone than we originally anticipated. Since then we’ve gotten a trailer and some other images from Marvel’s adaptation, and the movie continues to look more impressive than fans expected. A clip released in April showed us Rudd breaking into a vault and finding his Ant-Man suit.
Rudd’s character is an ex-con and thief who ends up finding a mentor in Dr. Hank Pym, the genius inventor of the technology that allows him to shrink down to the size of an insect and increase the person’s strength.
Ant-Man will hit theaters July 17, 2015.
