Ants have two stomachs.

Directed by Peyton Reed, Ant-Man is the story of an ordinary man who finds a suit that gives him amazing powers.

Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) is a petty criminal who steals a special suit from his ex-boss, physicist Hank Pym (Michael Douglas). The suit allows Scott to shrink to microscopic size, and have incredible strength. After Scott has some adventures while wearing the suit, Hank tells him that he allowed him to steal the suit as a test.

Hank explains that scientist Darren Cross (Corey Stoll), an inventor of shrinking technology, plans to develop his own special suit and form an army. He plans to use his army to take over the world. With the help of his ant friends, Scott needs to become a hero and fight against Darren. Scott must save Earth, as well as save his own family.

Find out if he succeeds when Ant-Man opens in local cinemas on July 15.
