Ant-Man 2015

I love how they introduce the lesser-known comic book characters in the MCU. Phase 2 is clearly the phase with some of these kinds of introductions. In Guardians of the Galaxy, for example, a whole range of lesser-known characters have already been presented to us. The majority had never heard of Star-Lord and co. But because of the humour and fantastic music in that film, everyone was really excited about it, and you quickly wanted to go watch it too. That's why these unknown superheroes suddenly became very popular!

Ant-Man also had to rely on mouth-to-mouth publicity. That's why the humour here had to be on-point, and fortunately that was the case. Not only the strange situations caused by the shrinking and enlarging of people and objects sometimes led to hilarious scenes, but the big star here was of course Luis. How cool would it be if he were in Endgame to recap everything that happened before in his own way?

In general, I don't like this film as much as Guardians or Iron Man, but it comes very close. And the way Ant-Man is introduced here is great.
