A new teaser clip for the upcoming Marvel superhero flick, Ant-Man, was unveiled at Hall H during this week's Comic-Con in San Diego. It shows a sequence which begins with Paul Rudd's character 'Scott Lang,' the new Ant-Man, arguing at the lab with his mentor, Michael Douglas' character 'Hank Pym,' the original Ant-Man, and ending with a shot of a fly-riding Ant-Man. Another sequence follows which features a re-tweaked version of the official trailer that's already been uploaded to the web, but this time with a voice over by Douglas' character giving instructions to his protege, Rudd's 'Scott Lang.'
While the teaser clip looked exciting to the fans, there's no actual footage yet from the film itself. Shooting is scheduled to start by August 18 in Atlanta.
To be directed by Peyton Reed based on a screenplay written by Edgar Wright, Joe Cornish and Adam McKay, Ant-Man will be shown in US theaters beginning July 17, 2015. Aside from Douglas and Rudd, others confirmed in the cast include Evangeline Lilly as Hope Pym, Hank's daughter, and Corey Stoll as Daren Cross, aka Yellowjacket, Hank's ex-partner and nemesis who stole his company and his shrinking technology.
Asked to say something about the movie, Reed told Entertainment Weekly, "I have to say, it's actually great...everybody from the cast and crew are A-plus-plus...the stuff we're doing in terms of the visuals of the movie is going to be unlike any other Marvel movie... it''s different than the other superhero movies because it takes place in the real world...in terms of the shrinking stuff, you're going to see stuff that just has never been done in a movie."
