Who can forget this cool nod to The Avengers where newcomer Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) gets the better of veteran hero Falcon (Anthony Mackie)? Ant-Man is airing on TNT this month.
Ant-Man introduces Scott Lang to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Lang is an ex-con who breaks into the home and steals what fans know is the Ant-Man suit. Lang and his crew were manipulated by Hank Pym, inventor of the suit and former Ant-Man, who was looking to keep his shrinking technology out of the hands of the scheming Darren Cross. Cross has pushed Pym out of his own company and is looking to weaponize the technology in the form of a "Yellowjacket" battle suit.
Paul Rudd stars as Lang in this more light-hearted of Marvel movies. Michael Douglas plays the senior Pym and Evangeline Lilly co-stars as his daughter, Hope Van Dyne. Corey Stoll, Michael Pena, Bobby Cannavale and Judy Greer also star.
Peyton Reed directed the film from a script by Edgar Wright, Joe Cornish, Adam McKay and Rudd.
