The latest issue of Empire is a superhero special, and the special superhero worthy of the front over is Marvel's Ant-Man - also known as Scott Lang, as played by Paul Rudd - and here he is again, on the internet, with a new TV spot and a selection of new stills to get you excited about the July 17 release.
For those not in the know, Michael Douglas’s scientist Hank Pym is the inventor of the suit that lets Scott Lang get tiny and run around a lot. Pym is the man who discovered the particles that let him shrink objects and people way, way, down. He recruits Scott for a heroic heist that will let them both save not their own world, but everyone else’s. And for Scott, whose criminal record is lengthening, it’s a chance for him to be the hero his daughter sees.
They’ll have to deal with Corey Stoll’s Darren Cross, who - as you've seen from both the clip above and the trailer - has his own plans for the tech with his more nefarious alter ego Yellowjacket. Also along for the ride are Evangeline Lilly, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña, Abby Ryder Fortson, Judy Greer, David Dastmalchian, Wood Harris, Gregg Turkington, T.I., and John Slattery, who returns as Howard Stark in flashbacks.
Directed by Peyton Reed, Ant-Man hits UK screens on July 17, while our superhero special with exclusive on-set Ant-Man access is out on shelves now.
