The poster for the very promising looking film Ant-Man, which you can see above, just dropped, and while it's nowhere near as bad as that Winter Soldier poster that photoshopped Scarlett Johanssons waistline to make her thinner (this is a thing that actually happened and that makes me sick), it's still got it's share of notable flaws. I actually like that the clear, colorful Ant-Man suit is in the center of the poster, his sharp red coloring really catches the eye. And while it's nice to see Michael Pena on the poster, giving off a warm smile to boot, he looks a bit shoehorned into the poster, the same of which can be said for Bobby Cannavale, who looks like he just woke up from a nap. If you ask me, I would have cut Cannavale from the poster and put Yellowjacket in his place, add a little something that adds extra excitement to the image. Also, the sketches of squares, which I think are related to Pym Particles that, in the comics, allow Ant-Man to shrink, are really distracting and don't work out of context.
This poster certainly isn't terrible, especially when compared to the art put out for the likes of Terminator: Genisys, but man, wouldn't it be nice if more of Marvel's movies received poster art that were half as compelling as the movies they promote? Hopefully, Ant-Man is closer in quality to its excellent second trailer than this poster.
