When it comes to Marvel's Ant-Man -- due in theaters July 17, two months after Avengers: Age of Ultron -- we wouldn't be surprised if the filmmakers and marketing folks were inspired by the old Volkswagen ads that asked us all to "think small." From their tiny trailer tease to the first poster, you can tell everyone is having fun playing off the film's concept, which is about an ex-con (Paul Rudd) who acquires a special suit that allows him to shrink down to the size of an ant.
The first official teaser trailer for Ant-Man is now online:

Of course you want a closer look at that tiny little dude standing in the middle, so here's the newest cover of Entertainment Weekly, which appears to reveal what the poster looks like when you hold a magnifying glass up to it.
Ant-Man also stars Michael Douglas as Hank Pym, the original creator of the Ant-Man suit and one of the founding members of the Avengers (in the comics, anyway), as well as Evangeline Lilly as Pym's daughter and Corey Stoll as Pym's old business partner and apprentice who...well, let's just say he eventually becomes a bad guy called Yellowjacket.
