10 Movies You Were Dreading Before You Saw The Trailer

10. Ant-Man

"Yeah, antman? Serious? I won't watch it. Lame!"

That was just one of the many comments unleashed by some truly baffled corners of the MCU fanbase back when Kevin Feige and the gang announced their second Phase back in 2012 - one that came equipped with the feature debut of Scott Lang's Ant-Man.

Marvel Studios were really opting to throw an ant-sized superhero into the mix before the likes of a Black Panther, Moon Knight, or Doctor Strange?

Yes they were. And from the moment Paul Rudd's thieving eventual Avenger rocked up on screen for the first time during the Phase Two flick's trailer, it quickly became clear why a pint-sized story was the perfect call for the burgeoning MCU.

Blending genuinely hilarious and effortlessly charming humour with some of the most creative action the franchise had produced so far, the barmy concept of Lang commanding an army of ants and transforming a Thomas the Tank Engine set into a chaotic battleground, was the gift just about nobody honestly saw coming.

And sure enough, this small chunk of pitch-perfect footage convinced many a doubter to take a chance on the biggest little guy in the MCU, with the brilliant Ant-Man going on to bring home millions at the box office and earning some particularly strong reviews, too.
