LOS ANGELES - Marvel brings its latest superhero offering to the silver screen in “Ant-Man,” with Paul Rudd, known for his roles in popular comedies, portraying a thief who has the power to shrink in size but grow in power. Rudd plays Scott Lang/Ant-Man, who according to Marvel, must help his mentor Dr Hank Pym, played by Michael Douglas, safeguard the secrets behind his Ant-Man suit. Full of special effects, the plot sees the two plan a heist to save the world. “The macro-photography of the ant... is going to blow your mind,” Douglas said at the film's premiere on Tuesday night. “You've never seen the ant's perspective before and it is spectacular.” The film also stars “Lost” actress Evangeline Lilly and Michael Pena of “American Hustle.” - Reuters
