It'll put up numbers, but no way Ant-Man is going to be inthe tier we are used to.

Just by the sheer law of averages, one of these Marvel movies is bound to flop. This might be it.

Looks decent though

Spoilers dont click, its ever thing about the film and its connection to the marvel universe

Spoiler: Some

Hank Pym created the Ant-Man technology in the 1970's and operated as a spy for S.H.I.E.L.D. throughout the Cold War, answering to Howard Stark and Peggy Carter. His wife, Janet Van Dyne, was the Wasp and apparently died in one of his experiments, and he blamed himself, leaving the organization to build his own company, Pym Technologies, and refusing to become Ant-Man once again. Although Janet is believed to be dead, there are indications she could be alive, lost somewhere in the Microverse.

Hope Van Dyne is Pym's daughter and the head scientist of Pym Technologies, as well as a member of the Board of Directors. She blames him for her mother's death and conspired to oust him from the company. She is a uptight, humorless woman and is infuriated when Pym chooses Scott Lang over her to become the Ant-Man, though she begrudingly agrees to train him.

Darren Cross is Pym's protege who wrests control of Pym Technologies once Pym refushes to share the secrets of the Ant-Man technology due to his fear of it being weaponized and acquired by third parties. Cross is obsessed with earning Pym's approval and carving his name in History, and believes that he can accomplish that through the Yellowjacket armor. Cross grows increasingly deranged as the movie progresses, and has several shades to him, ranging from charming to menacing to extremely goofy.

Pym can no longer use the suit as excessive use causes debilitating physical and psychological side effects.


Scott Lang is a thief specialized in navigating advanced security systems to pull off heists. After being arrested for stealing money that had previously been emblezzed by a former employer to return it to its rightful owners, keeping a share for himself, Lang serves five years in prison before being released. In his absence, his ex-wife Maggie has married policeman Jim Paxton, a childhood friend of Lang's. Maggie and Paxton forbid Lang from interacting with his daughter Cassie due to his criminal background and delayed alimony payments, so Lang is forced into crime once again to gather enough money to be allowed to be close to Cassie.

In prison, Lang befriends his cellmate, con man Luis, who is released beforehand. When Lang is released, he begins sharing an apartment with Luis and join him and his accomplices, identity theft specialist Kurt and getaway driver Dave, to rob Pym's house. Lang successfully cracks the safe, but finds only the Ant-Man suit, which he steals, mistakenly assuming it's a motorcycle suit. Returning to his apartment, he decides to put it on, and notices a button, which shrinks him upon being pressed. Luis accidentally flushes Lang down the drain, damaging the button and preventing Lang from returning to normal size. Lang then navigates the building's pumbling before falling into a dance club below, where he avoids being stomped by the dancing patrons before finally repairing the suit and returning to normal size.

Pym engineered the theft to test Lang's abilities in evading his state-of-the-art security system, and to evaluate his character by monitoring what he would do with the suit. When Lang is arrested breaking into Pym's house to return the suit, Pym bails him out and extends an offer for him to become the Ant-Man.

Lang makes modifications to the suit throughout the movie.

Spoiler: More

Cross is planning to sell the Yellowjacket to the highest bidder, including representatives from the 10 Rings. This is what prompts Pym to recruit Lang to infiltrate Pym Technologies and sabotage Cross' efforts.

Martin Donovan's character is a shady politican that had an antagonistic relationship with Pym during their time at S.H.I.E.L.D., and is now trying to acquire the Yellowjacket from Cross.

The ants are believed to be the movie's breakout characters, and several of them are given names and personalities, such as an Ant-Anee (Anthony), the flying ant that becomes Lang's loyal steed.

Young Pym is played by a digitally de-aged Michael Douglas, while Janet is played by an extra and only her eyes are seen in a close-up shot.

"Ant-Man" is set a few months after "Avengers: Age of Ultron". Hank Pym hates superheroes, in part due to Janet's death, and is dismissive of the Avengers, whom he claims cause as much destruction as they seek to prevent. Lang, who had been in jail at the time of the Battle of New York and its fallout, is also out of the loop about superhero activity around the world.

Hope remains dismissive of Lang throughout the movie, though she slowly recognizes he is a hero. There are very minimal romantic hints. Director Peyton Reed, however, has described the core theme of the movie as a "fatherly love triangle" between Lang, Cross and Pym, which compliments the other themes of fathers and daughters represented by Pym and Hope and Lang and Cassie.

The ants' design has been modified to make it more approachable, as the original, realistic designs were deemed too grotesque by focus groups.


Hope could become the Wasp in future installments.

The final battle between Lang and Cross takes place at Cassie's bedroom, with several toys and other objects being shrunk down or enlarged to gigantic size, including the toy train.

There's a running gag where Luis gives other characters' tips on how to perform crimes, which happens by showing the people giving Luis' the tip with his voice superimposed over the person as he paraphrases what he or she originally told him.

Edgar Wright's original draft was rewritten by Adam McKay and Paul Rudd. One of Rudd's additions was a larger role for Hope at Evangeline Lily's request.

There are more connections to the MCU than it appears.

There'll be a post-credits scene.

There are no plans for "Ant-Man 2", but this could change once the movie is released, and the character is already confirmed to appear in "Captain America: Civil War", where he's rumored to become Giant-Man.
