EW Debuts Paul Rudd in Full Ant-Man Costume
Scott Lang is ready for his close-up
Ahead of its big trailer debut on amusing first poster, [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/139278-Marvel-Releases-Ant-Sized-Ant-Man-Teaser] Marvel's Ant-Man has popped up as the cover boy for the latest Entertainment Weekly.
The cover shot, which appears to be a variation on the aforementioned minimalist teaser poster, deploys a magnifying glass to reveal a smirking Paul Rudd as Scott Lang. Of note, this constitutes fans' first real look at Lang in the full Ant-Man suit (though he's here depicted holding his helmet as opposed to wearing it.) In the comics, Ant-Man's suit allows him to change size while retaining full strength, while the helmet lets him communicate with ants.
In the film, Lang is a reformed thief who takes up the mantle of Ant-Man - a superhero of the 60s and 70s whose abilities include changing size while retaining full strength and communicating with ants - from its creator Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) to battle corporate-criminal Yellowjacket (Corey Stoll). Peyton Reed directs, taking over for a departed [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/134763-Edgar-Wright-No-Longer-Directing-Marvels-Ant-Man] Edgar Wright. Marvel is billing the lighter, humor-focused actioner as a smaller-scale coda to its "Phase 2" run of features, rather than an official start to Phase 3.
Ant-Man will release on July 17.
