Invisibility. Flight. Telepathy. If you ask people what super power they would like to have, these are the kind of abilities most suggest. Few would consider asking for the power to shrink and communicate with ants, but that's exactly the premise behind Ant-Man, one of Marvels oldest heroes. When Marvel Studios first announced an Ant-Man movie, many were skeptical. How can a tiny hero hold their own against larger than life characters such as Thor and Iron Man? The news that Edgar Wright, the man behind Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, would be taking the miniature hero in a comedic direction was met with a mostly positive response that reassured fans Ant-Man had potential on the big screen.
