Marvel's Ant-Man - Trailer 1

Man I just cannot get a read on this movie - it certainly has some tonally-inconsistent trailers. Is this a more serious entry into the MCU like Winter Soldier? Is it more of an action comedy in the vein of GOTG? Is it somewhere in between like The Avengers? On the plus side, the costume and effects looks great.
I have a feeling when Edgar Wright was at the helm, it was more of a comedy with some action sprinkled throughout - but when he left the project it was made to be more tonally consistent with the rest of the MCU.

It confirmed my ticket.
If you see that and don't want to see this film, just give up on superhero films.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that particular scene was already storyboarded by him before he left, the gun one was straight out of his test footage from a year ago

Same, I saw a lot of the jokes coming and I'm not even witty. The train was pretty amazing though.
Marvel trailers usually have that serious tone going on for it, but the movie is probably almost all lighthearted. IM3 is a good example, they used mandarin for almost all their trailers and made him look like the big bad and it ended up being a comedy.

Looks fun, although I don't like putting the "central comedic moment" of a movie in a trailer. Makes them lose all their effect when you see them for real.
See the "we have a hulk" from avengers. That fell flat real hard.

I love you.
Whenever Paul Rudd does Conan O'Brien, he will always bring along a clip from the movie he's doing.
But it's ALWAYS that scene from Mac and Me.
Yeah, probably. The train scène and the 'I want you to break into a place and steal stuff'-line wouldn't be out of place in a Wright-written movie.

I'm conflicted, because I want this to work so much, but something feels off to me. I can't put my finger on it, but it's just not winning me over. Maybe it's the generic theme music? It feels mismatched with the tone of the humour presented.
Wright beat his wife first though, so it's only fair.

That trailer was as good as the first one was terrible.
All action movies should have a Thomas the Tank Engine-based action sequence.

Um how would the toy train hurt them? They retain their strength of a regular human right?
Probably a dumb thing to ask and obvious that I don't read comics.
Still I hope this is good. I like the idea of Ant-Man a lot and I really liked it when Wright was behind it. Still think it could be really cool but has a total chance of being forgotten. I mean pretty much any of the Phrase 3 movies have more hype than this except Thor 3.

Except they brought in Adam McKay to do rewrites of the script? Why would anyone bring in Adam McKay to add drama or action to a film?

Absolutely. Some parts do feel like that, but that section in particular feels very much like a typical Wright visual joke (especially as I was watching Hot Fuzz recently, but it wouldnt be out of place in Scott Pilgrim). Works for me if the movie manages to keep his sense of visual comedy then Ill be happy. Promising stuff.
I know it's not true. I'm the one who made it up in the first place.
That "break into a place and steal some stuff" has to be a Wright/Cornish line, surely? Instantly got an image of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost there.
I loved that, much better than the first trailer. Still think it's going to look a bit corny up on screen (especially if they keep some of the more melodramatic dialogue intact) but the dialogue's great and the leads nail it in that trailer.
I'm off to start work on my fanfiction for how Peter Russo
and became Yellowjacket

Word.
Balance of Wright and McKay/Rudd would be perfect. They're all clever, good writers after all.

Oh, that's hillarious
Isn't this technically a Phase 2 movie?

This got a legit laugh out of me.
This. Furthermore McKay has said that Paul Rudd was also very involved with the rewrites.

Seems pretty obvious that it's a mixture of serious/comedy to me...
That Thomas train set fight scene...WOW.
I'm loving the shrinking effect.
The trailer balances the comedy pretty well, which gives me GOTG vibes. I hope that's consistent with the movie itself.

same, hard to get excited about it.....maybe you have to be a fan of the comics?
And don't forget that GOTG was dark as Hell at points. There was nothing funny about Rocket's 'they think I'm vermin' scene.

Good god i hope WB snatches him up for flash or something. The man managed to make Simon Pegg look like a chan-esque drunken master
If theres a lot of stuff like that gun run and the train then day one
Yea it is. I'm just saying that this could easily get swept under the rug because of all the more anticipated Phase 3 films that are coming out.
You going to make me cry again. That monolog had feels up the ass.

Well damn that was really fucking cool. Def more excited about this now.
I thought WB was approaching Chris Miller and Phil Lord for The Flash.

They're just writing it, there's still a chance /dumb and dumber
Trailer looking boring but the action is on point. So many interesting things to do with a power like this

Enjoyed that trailer, action looks pretty good. Cautiously optimistic about this one!

Yup, and the fact that the actors indicated that the movie was very improv heavy, like a typical Frat Pack movie... This is clearly going to be a comedy, with or without Wright.
excuse me?
