NATHANIEL R in Agent Carter, Ant Man, Corey Stoll, Enver Gjokaj, Hayley Atwell, Marvel, Michael Peña, Paul Rudd, TV, Yes No Maybe So, superheroes

Agent Carter premiered tonight. I actually thought it was quite good with Hayley Atwell a surprisingly strong presence as the lead. Perhaps she's better suited for TV given that she's never been that exciting on the big screen.

In addition to being top notch at the straight-faced espionage scenes, she was quite willingly winking with camp affection to "spy" shows in her undercover scenes. A good sense of humor all around and bonus points for including Dollhouse's excellent Enver Gjokaj in the supporting cast and for passing the Bechdel Test within, like, the first four minutes. See, it's EASY to do. Much appreciated.

I know I'm not supposed to be talking about actresses but I can't help myself! The subject of this post is the Ant Man teaser. We'll wait for the trailer for a full "Yes No Maybe So" but for now random thoughts...

 after the jump, please enjoy the teaser and my 8 favorite shots from the trailer. 


Cinematography by Russell Carter of Titanic fame.


That Corey Stoll swagger. Bring it. So happy his career took off after Midnight in Paris (2011). He so deserved all that attention.


Love Paul Rudd's 'huh' after hearing the serious superhero origin business.


The shrinking effect is fun


Michael Peña alert. Always so welcome in movies.


Prison fight. I didn't spot David Dastmalchian (a character actor I love that has been nominated twice in this site's awardage for best cameo/limited performance) anywhere in this trailer. Perhaps he's in the jail sequences?


In an original draft of this post I was just going to post this pic 7 times as my 7 favorite shots. I am silly.


The teaser isn't very funny but i hope the actual movie is funny and brightly colored (we know Peyton Reed can do that but will he here?) because this story kind of begs to be fun and comic like Guardians of the Galaxy.

Did you like the tease? How annoying is my miniature ant-sized text?
