After releasing a [teaser](http://time.com/3652411/ant-man-teaser/ "undefined") that had to be seen through a microscope, and a [poster](https://twitter.com/AntMan/status/552511931425488897 "undefined") featuring lead actor Paul Rudd as an ant-sized dot, Marvel finally gave fans a glimpse of its tiniest superhero, who has the ability to shrink while gaining strength. The trailer shows Scott Lang, played by Rudd, being arrested, released and then given a “second chance” as a superhero by the original Ant-Man, Dr. Hank Pym, played by Michael Douglas. Pym offers him the superhero mantle and the shrinking ant suit. “One question,” Rudd’s character says to Pym. “Is it too late to change the name?” Sorry Paul. ### Meet Marvel's Ant-Man  The Ant-Man suit is originally created by Dr. Hank Pym, played by Michael Douglas. Marvel  The suit is powered by Pym particles, which allows its wearer to change size at will. Marvel  Ant-Man can be come as small as an ant. Marvel  Or grow to a monstrous size to become Giant-Man. Marvel  Ant-Man comes to theaters on July 17, 2015.
