Shot on location in San Francisco, Paul Rudd stars as Scott Lang AKA Ant-Man, in this first image from Marvel Studio’s ANT-MAN.

The film is directed by Peyton Reed and also stars Michael Douglas (“Behind The Candelabra,” “Wall Street”) as his mentor Dr. Hank Pym and Evangeline Lilly (“The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug,” “Lost”) as Hope Van Dyne, daughter of Hank Pym.

Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, con-man Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.

The movie also features Corey Stoll, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña, Abby Ryder Fortson and Judy Greer.
