The release of the second 2015 Marvel Cinematic Universe film is just around the corner, and as it approaches it seems like every week there are new images and information about the Avenger played by Paul Rudd, and the new "Ant-Man" posters show that Scott Lang means business!
In a series of new "Ant-Man" posters released through Marvel's website, the new superhero, who is set to join the Avengers in upcoming films, can be seen mocking the best-known members of the Earth's mightiest heroes, including Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man, Chris Hemsworth's Thor and Chris Evans' Captain America, three of the major superheroes so far in the MCU.
According to Business Insider, the move to add the most recognizable characters of the franchise to the "Ant-Man" posters is nothing short of brilliant, as, while fans of the comics know how big a role the superhero plays in the comics, the character is virtually unknown for movie-goers - so it's a great idea to relate Scott Lang/Ant-Man to previous successes.
In the new series of "Ant-Man" posters, the character is shown in his smallest version, standing on some of the most iconic images of three of the major Avengers, cheekily adding the phrase "No Shield, No Hammer, No Problem," referencing the three big characters, though without showing the actors.
Most Avengers were left out of "Ant-Man" posters, though, like Mark Ruffalo's Hulk, Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow and Jeremy Renner's Hawkeye were left out, as well as new additions like Paul Bettany's The Vision and Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch.
As IGN reports, there's also a couple of new TV spots for the upcoming film, which will be released next July.
The upcoming film will be adding some of the world's favorite actors to the already impressive cast of the MCU, including Rudd in the title role, two-time Oscar winner Michael Douglas and "The Hobbit" actress Evangeline Lily, besides the return of a few favorite characters like Hayley Atwell's Peggy Carter and "Mad Men" actor John Slattery as Howard Stark - but it's all about the lead character in the new amazing "Ant-Man" posters!
