Nah, he works best and stays sane when he has other around him to sound off on.
Noooo
Didn't know that Evangeline Lilly was confirmed for this, don't know if she'll make a good janet
Excited for the movie though!
I second this. Don't like Evangeline Lily.
Think he meant as the main character/protag.
The Ultimates is the worse comic I have ever read. And I read Chuck Austen's World Watch.

I can't see her as adorably charming. Has she ever done comedy in her life?

The best thing about the MCU is their commitment to making the universe bigger through unique characters. They could just make Iron Man and Avenger movies for 10 more years and make bank but they're expanding in many interesting ways to keep things fresh.
I just hope whatever their first misstep is doesn't stop them from trying or pushing things off for only sequels. It looks like a cool future of Marvel movies when you can get big sequels and unique first movies every year.

Wright grew up with Lang, so goes Pym's career as a leading character.
What? It isn't even that bad, just a little trashy (well, Millar-y).

They took the worse traits about the characters and designed them around that. LOL Ironman is drunk again etc. Hell they had to invent Captain America being an asshole. It was a waste of a chance of building something new.
I separate Ultimate Spiderman away from the shit Ultimateverse.
I keep forgetting that.
Hype (re)intensifies.
Also, everyone should watch Attack the Block.
Yeah, really looking forward to the movies that will be different tonally to the mainline Avengers crew.

I personally think Guardians of the Galaxy will have it beaten, but this will definitely be one to watch.

I heard they were making an Ant Man movie and thought that it was a terrible idea. But that teaser clip actually looks pretty cool. Marvel has done a good job selling people on outlandish concepts but the concept of Ant Man requires a bit more explaining than some of the other stuff they have going on.
The costume looks cool too. I'm surprised to say it but my hype level is rising...

Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish gonna save superhero movies.
And if they can't, there simply ain't no hope.

There's a little voice inside me that is just losing his mind over Edgar Wright directing a blockbuster Marvel superhero movie. Edgar Wright! From Spaced!
Needless to say, day one, shut up and take my money, why isn't the Blu Ray out yet, etc.

This thread reminds me of a question I've always had (I'm a relative newbie to comics), and this seems like as good of a place as any to ask:
Why doesn't Pym just default to Giant Man during every fight? Being big enough to punt the Hulk a few city blocks seems to have more advantages in a fight than being really tiny and controlling ants.

I thought his strength just stayed proportional to a regular man? If that's true, a lot of times going Giant would just make him a bigger target without that much of a strength gain. If Hulk is paying attention, Giant Man isn't kicking him anywhere.
Me either. Loved that angle of it. Loved those first two volumes of The Ultimates. There's no pleasing some people.
You also think the FF reboot might turn out okay. Your opinion is now suspect.

He uses shrinking as a pretty effective substitute for teleportation, invisibility, and breaking out of grapples. His punches at micro-size deliver just as much force as they do at full size.
Plus, controlling ants is pretty useful. Its pretty difficult to mount an assault when all of your henchmen have fire ants climbing up their pants and nibbling on their balls.
To see Pym use his shrinking powers effectively in cmbat, here are some examples from Earth's Mightiest Heroes:

Unfortunately, I don't think Marvel has the balls to make an Eric O'Grady Ant-Man film.

Edgar Write alone is enough of a reason to know this movie will be amazing. Then look at the cast, the hero itself, etc.
Dis gun be gud.
I love how the cast of Predator is in the first clip.
Oh I have no doubt it well be good, but "the best". That I'm not so sure of.
Honestly it just might though, if people get their act together.
i was not aware of this. hype level has officially surpassed GotG hype. fuck. edgar wright, joe cornish, paul rudd, michael douglas, superhero heist comedy thing.
Maybe if they had started work on that awhile ago, and not slapped it together with duck tape at the last second to keep the rights.

Ant-Man needs less explanation than the whole of Guardians of the Galaxy. I'm sure it'll be fine.

GotG is the biggest flop risk for Marvel. Everyone involved in the movie is just so hyped for it and getting high off their own fumes. Concerns me a little.

It might.
You gonna argue against the fact that Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish are teaming up on a Paul Rudd superhero heist movie?
You gonna argue against that because I think there's a possibility a Fantastic Four movie from Josh Trank and Michael B. Jordan might not suck?
You're gonna suck at arguments if you try that

Rashida Jones not being in this is an American tragedy.

I don't understand why strafer hasn't posted a picture of Evangeline Lily yet.
The biggest problem for gotg is that tmnt opens a week after it.
Who the fuck cares about Iron Man? Obviously that movie gonna bomb.
