Speaking of GotG, it should have probably gone for that kind of mood. Instead ... well, it was that. Hopefully the real trailer shows a different kind of movie.
Also remember that this film is coming out the same year after Avengers: Age of Ultron. It's unfortunately got a tough act to follow after the last few Marvel movies which have been incredible.That's what I was getting from it as well ScytheRexx.
From the trailer i'm expecting a rather dull movie.
But then this is the movie following Guardians of the Galaxy which is a pretty hard act to follow.
It was embracing the silly that worked for GOTG though. They had a talking racoon as a member, and made it work by not taking itself too seriously. It's one of the reasons I think they got a comedian to play the lead, because Gunn wanted someone inherently funny and likeable rather then just the same old stoic hero.The trailer felt a little too generic-hero story. I can see why they didn't go quite as silly as they did with Guardians of the Galaxy, because "Ant-Man" is a pretty silly name to being with.
Seeing as Paul Rudd is being given writer's credit on this, I would say they've put his comedy to use, or atleast given him every conceivable opportunity to do so.The trailer felt a little too generic-hero story. I can see why they didn't go quite as silly as they did with Guardians of the Galaxy, because "Ant-Man" is a pretty silly name to being with. Add me too the group hoping the second trailer will be more interest-grabbing. I'd really like to see that they haven't wasted Paul Rudd ability to be funny, similar Robert Downey Jr., which I think would have been highlighted if Edgar Wright was still in charge.
I agree. I don't think they'd be wise to lean into the absurdity like with Guardians. That is the tone for that series. They can't all do that. Plus, that's the cosmic universe and this is not. This needs to have a tone that gels more the other Avengers movies.Oh cmon, they obviously went with all the serious stuff and a small taste of humour at the end on purpose.
Im guessing that after GotG they don't want to make films that are/seem too light hearted to avoid ending up with something people don't take seriously.
Or maybe they just don't want people to expect Ant-Man to be funny in the comics...
It isn't a noteworthy trailer, but it's flat out wrong to compare it to the first Green Lantern trailer. The first GL trailer was outright awful.Do you know what this trailer reminds me of? Green Lantern. Minus the terrible special effects and anything particularly "ugh" worthy like "I KNOW, RIGHT?" Just more in its overall blandness.

I wonder if it'll still be Andrew Garfield.
I highly doubt that. If Marvel were ballsy enough, they'd introduce us to a "new" Spidey: Miles Morales. Won't happen, but it'd be amazing.I wonder if it'll still be Andrew Garfield.
Is it bad that I'd be disappointed if they replaced Garfield? He's a pretty decent Spider-man. I mean, it's not a perfect casting, like RDJ for Tony Stark, but Garfield's still pretty good.I highly doubt that. If Marvel were ballsy enough, they'd introduce us to a "new" Spidey: Miles Morales.

Either way, welcome home, Spidey. Welcome home.
I kind of look forward to why you hate the new one under Feige's supervision.I can't wait for the third Spider-Man origin movie in my life
Sony will do another all new origin story in 2017 too.I can't wait for the third Spider-Man origin movie in my life
Not surprised given that Marvel Studios films keep making money hand over fist. The last Spidey solo effort.... not so much.
"What do you mean there's only one villain in the movie!? NO! There needs to be at LEAST three! Because it worked so well for Spider-Man 3 and Amazing Spider-Man 2, dammit!"If Sony was smart they would utilize this deal to basically step back and let Marvel print them money (as they would get a cut of any Marvel movie invoking Spider-Man). If they get too many of their fingers into the process they are just going to hurt themselves, which worries me since the article says they still have "final creative control".
