[Update: Watch the first Ant-Man trailer here!]
If you missed the Ant-sized preview of the full Ant-Man trailer, not to worry. Not only was it in a tiny, barely viewable resolution, but that first official release of Ant-Man footage only showed a few of the characters watching. It was more of a fun gimmick announcing that the first 'real' teaser would be airing during the series premiere of Agent Carter on ABC.
A "human-sized" version has since been released by Marvel, alongside the very first Ant-Man movie poster. That poster, as you can image, is tough to read given the literal size of the protagonist when shrunk, but we do also have the first official photo of Paul Rudd suited up in the Ant-Man costume.
Through a showcase at Comic-Con which involved a concept video and a poster, and leaked promotional art highlighting Ant-Man and the villainous Yellowjacket suits, we've had only brief glimpses at the visuals of Ant-Man and its size-changing nature. Here's our first look at Rudd's Scott Lang in the superhero outfit designed by Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) which comes from the latest cover issue of EW.
Rudd never seems to age and he looks great suited up in the retro costume Pym previously wore in the past. The costume design has remained largely the same to the earlier concept that debuted in Edgar Wright's Ant-Man test footage that played at Comic-Con a few years back. It's been a long and bumpy road for Marvel's littlest Avenger but in just seven months, Ant-Man will live onscreen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Below is the poster that plays well with the above image which magnifies Scott Lang.
For reference, here's the Comic-Con art rendering for Ant-Man
The first Ant-Man teaser trailer aired during the two-hour series premiere of Agent Carter Tuesday, January 6 beginning at 8:00 p.m. ET on ABC.
