Unlike the “Doctor Strange” project, the “Ant-Man” movie is in the advanced stages of production and still we haven't seen that much of Paul Rudd dressed up as the shrinking superhero. Until today. Brief glimpses from the movie were shown during an ABC special called “Marvel: 75 Years, from Pulp to Pop.”

If you look carefully at the footage interspersed with other films such as the upcoming “Avengers,” you're going to see that both Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas' characters, aka Hank Pym and Scott Lang, are presented on screen.

What can be clearly seen is Paul Rudd, or better said Scott Lang, walking up to the Ant-Man costume for the first time, folded on a table in front of him. At this point, what we know for certain is that the film is directed by Peyton Reed and that it's supposed to come out on June 17, 2015.

Latest reports claim that Scott Lang's back story has been changed somewhat to make him more appealing. He no longer is a con man, but instead is described as being a master thief, which apparently makes it more socially acceptable, rather than a person who goes around cheating people and taking their belongings.
