Ant-Man Footage Screened & Character Reveals

Marvel Studios kicked off their Comic-Con presentation today with Ant-Man, where studio boss and producer Kevin Feige, director Peyton Reed, and stars Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas, Evangeline Lilly, and Corey Stoll gave fans their first look at the latest Marvel superhero to hit the silver screen.

Even though principal photography doesn’t officially commence until August 18 in Atlanta, the gang brought some footage they shot with Reed so they could have something to show fans at SDCC.

The sequence starts in an empty lab as we hear the voices of Douglas’ Pym talking to Rudd’s Scott about how “superheroes are a goddamn joke” that just cause a lot of mayhem and destruction. But he needs Scott to take on the mantle of Ant-Man to handle “a small job.” The camera snakes through the lab over all this until it finds the silver Ant-Man helmet on a table.
