(Warning: Major “Ant-Man” spoilers!). The next evolution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe brings a founding member of “The Avengers” to the big screen for the first time with Marvel Studios’ “Ant-Man“.

On my rating scale, “Ant-Man” earns a home run.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Did you direct both scenes? That was always a part of the movie.
Turns out, the ants assisting the hero should all be female. I’m actually quite confused as to what the movie was trying to be. It’s really her story as well. From the fittingly heroic theme to the surf-tastic closing number “Tales to Astonish!” (named for the comic in which Ant-Man made his first appearance), Beck’s music perfectly reflects the genre-layering story, really working a perfect balance of whimsy and peril, criminal and hero.

Our hero also has a daughter he wants to see more.
“I was wearing a T-shirt with myself on it”, Rudd said when asked if his “The 40-Year-Old Virgin” character was as nerdy as Carell’s.
Y’all gonna see me unleash the FALCON.
The film’s depiction of Lang/Ant-Man set the tone for the character’s role in the upcoming “Captain America: Civil War”, said Reed, noting he showed directors Anthony and Joe Russo scenes from his movie while editing it for continuity’s sake.

That someone is Darren Cross (Corey Stoll), Pym’s former protégé, who is now an unstable, power-hungry megalomaniac with serious daddy issues. In true Bond movie fashion, you know that he’s going to be back. ” Cut to the audience losing their minds”. “We were at Disneyland like two days ago and they have kind of a sneak preview, the Ant-Man event that’s there, and we went there and I was sitting next to him, and to see like as a parent the look on my kid’s face when he’s watching this – and I’ll never forget”.
