13 Major Revelations And Hints From The Ant-Man Trailer
7. It's Conspicuously Light On Villains
Choosing not to have the villain narrate the trailer took away some of the edge that Iron Man 3's packed, and while Guardians Of The Galaxy showed that being good-guy-centric could work for a trailer remarkably well, this wasn't that kind of trailer at all. For now the only shots of Cross were of him looking a bit upset within the walls of his company, and the sell that he's an arch-villain with designs on something "world-ending" are hard to take. Perhaps we'll get a second trailer that is more focused on the reason why Lang has to save the world, rather than why he is the one who has to be Ant-Man - which seems to have been the agenda here. That would definitely be a welcome direction, because right now this feels a little unevenly biased towards showing everyone Hank Pym's take on the situation (and despite it being Michael Douglas, Pym is like the third most important element here: it goes Lang, threat, Pym).
