Ant-Man

Scott Lang is a thief offered an extraordinary opportunity: help Hank Pym protect the technology behind the Ant-Man suit. A change in size gives Scott a new way to tackle danger, but mastering the suit is only part of becoming a hero. This 2015 adventure introduces his corner of the MCU through a mission built around stealth, ingenuity and a very different sense of scale.

The change of perspective is the attraction. Everyday spaces become obstacles, and the action invites you to look for possibilities that a larger hero might miss. Scott’s inexperience gives the story room for humour as well as invention. After the ensemble battles of Age of Ultron, this is an appealing shift toward one new hero learning how to use an unfamiliar tool.
