The second Ant-Man trailer, which Marvel Studios previewed to a select group of journalists last Saturday, is now online. And as we said on Saturday, it’s a good one. Whereas the original Ant-Man trailer seemed to emphasize the need for audiences to take Marvel’s diminutive superhero seriously, this new preview seems designed to put the “whee!” back in “wee.”
Paul Rudd plays the shrinking protagonist Scott Lang, a thief who gets the opportunity to redeem himself by stealing stuff. In this new trailer, we get to see Ant-Man communicate with ants, use his size as an asset in a fight scene, and Corey Stoll try to kick his ass as the villain Yellowjacket. And the last gag, set aboard a familiar-looking train, has everyone here at the CraveOnline office in stitches.
Check out the very encouraging new Ant-Man trailer above, and keep an eye out for Ant-Man in theaters on July 17, 2015.
