Forums - Movies & TV - Ant Man is going to bomb at the Box office ( Looks like total trash!)

I don't think there is enough of a look there in the one trailer for me to give an informed opinion on this one. Though, until Marvel actually puts out a movie I don't enjoy, I will continue to blindly go on opening night and check out their offerings.

Jesus christ out of all the other Marvel characters they pick ant man? are they just throwing darts at abunch of pictures of Marvel characters and making movies with whatever one they land on? They even acknowledged in the movie how stupid the name is.

You can be totally right. Not every Marvel movie is good. But at least Marvel does try more people. And not what WB does with DC. You may hate him, that's fine. I don't like Thor, or Cap America. But those are good movies. The same can happen with Ant-Man. Wait if it's crap. It's not like what Fox is doing with Fantastic Four.



Define bomb? My guess is this is a 125-150 million dollar film with a 50-75 million dollar marketing push. It will get a bump for following up Avengers and with worldwide audiences I will guess it will do $300 million gross, making it a moderately successful film with no hope of a sequel.



Ant Man has got to be one of the hardest characters to base a movie of. He could be part of an Avengers movie, but with a larger focus on the scientific side of things.

Yeah, that trailer didn't impress me at all... But I'll probably watch it at the movies, unless it gets shitty reviews.



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Of course among comic fans the idea of Hawkeye and Black Widow in an Avengers films, but not Ant-Man and Wasp seemed odd.  He is an original Avenger, and even then it took Marvel a while to come around to the idea after having success after success.  I still don't think it is quite as risky as Guardians of the Galaxy was for them.



Ant Man is cool. He's like one of the very first Avengers (with Thor, Iron Man, Hulk, and Wasp (his wife). He's an asshole wife beater that can shrink and later grow super sized. Not a Marvel flagship character but after GotG, I learned to never count Marvel out.



i cant belive there is such a thing as Marvel fans VS DC fans arguing about their superhero movies on the comment section... and i thought console fanboys were already bad enough...

actually acording to the comics, Ant man is the one who accidentally creates Ultron, you know the bad guy in the new avengers movie, so maybe they will tie this movies together.
