Watch the goofy new trailer for Marvel's Ant-Man
Marvel didn't amass its billion-dollar superhero empire without a healthy dose of self-awareness — so the company clearly understands that Ant-Man is a harder sell than, say, Iron Man or Captain America.
This new trailer attempts to sell skeptical audiences on Ant-Man — one of the odder superheroes in the Marvel pantheon — with action, humor, and the eternally likable Paul Rudd:
"Hereoes don't get any bigger," promises the new Ant-Man trailer, as Scott Lang (Rudd) battles with Darren "Yellowjacket" Cross (Corey Stoll). The trailer ends by teasing a fun, goofy action scene on a Thomas the Tank Engine toy set, evoking the same kind of quirky humor that made Guardians of the Galaxy such a breakout hit.
