Since I say this pretty much every time I write about a Marvel movie, I think I should be clear: I'm determined to make a Marvel fan out of everyone!
I'm definitely unlikely Marvel fan myself, so I understand why you might not get the hype. But trust me, if you start watching Marvel's brand of superhero movies, you won't be disappointed!
Ant-Man is one of the most highly-anticipated movies of 2015. One reason I'm excited? The Ant-Man screenplay is by Adam McKay and Paul Rudd. Yay!
Watch this trailer to get the first taste of why fans are so excited:
The next evolution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe brings a founding member of The Avengers to the big screen for the first time with Marvel Studios’ “Ant-Man” when master thief Scott Lang must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats.
If that's not enough, take a look at this crazy new Ant-Man movie poster:
Marvel's Ant Man will be released in the United States on July 17, 2015.

Paul Rudd! I love him! This will be an interesting role for him, no? I wonder if it will be funny?

Laurie,
I’m pretty sure this will be funny. Paul Rudd WROTE the movie with Adam McKay. Adam McKay is Will Ferrell’s writing partner. All signs point to hilarious 🙂
