While Marvel's latest offering "Ant-Man" is not receiving the same buzz and excitement as Iron Man, Thor, or Spider-Man, it's quite possible that the movie is Marvel's most comedic product yet.
The Venture Capitalist Post said that "Ant-Man" has a lot of hilarious lines in store for moviegoers. Judy Greer, who plays the ex-wife of Ant-Man Scott Lang (played by Paul Rudd) said that there were lots of jokes on set, and that they were always on their toes to deliver the best and funniest lines.
"I haven't seen it yet but there was a lot of comedy on set and we did a lot of comedic improv. I don't know what will end up in the movie, but yeah," she said.
Ant-Man's story is set on Cross Industries, owned by the villainous Yellowjacket. In true Marvel form, the man behind the villain is actually Lang's boss Darren Cross, played by Corey Stoll of House of Cards fame.
The story of Ant-Man is all about petty thief Lang, who was taken under the wing of Dr. Hank Pym (played by Michael Douglas). Despite his rough beginnings, Pym believes there is more to Lang than meets the eye. Together, they will keep Pym's advanced technology, particularly the specially designed shrinking suit from the hands of evil.
In the comic books, the original Ant-Man was actually Pym, but later his suit got stolen by his apprentice Lang, but for good reasons. But in the upcoming movie, Marvel Cinematic Universe decided to tell a different story.
The trailer for Ant-Man began with the voice of Douglas as Pym, telling Lang that he's different. "Don't let anyone tell you that you have nothing to offer," he said as he encouraged him to take a second chance.
It was also revealed in the trailer why Lang decided to move on from being a thief to a hero.
"This is your chance earn that look in your daughter's eyes. To become the hero that she already thinks you are," Pym told Lang. "It's not about saving our world. It's about saving theirs."
Pym's heartfelt message was met with a dumbfounded reaction from Lang as he answered, "Huh."
It's also not clear what Ant-Man's super powers will be, except that he's able to shrink in size. The trailer also showed lots of gun fights and explosive scenes, guaranteed to satisfy even the most die hard action fans.
