Ant-man on hunt

-

The latest of the movies on Marvel comics characters ‘Ant- Man’, produced by Marvel Studios and distribute­d by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures is now being screened at Majestic Cineplex and Empire cinema Independen­ce Arcade and Excel cinema at Excel World and Cinemax at Reality Plaza Ja-ela.

Revolving around con-man Scott, armed with the astonishin­g ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, the film shows how he must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, protect the secret behind his spectacula­r Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmount­able obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.

Directed by Peyton Reed, the film stars Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Corey Stoll, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña, Tip “T.I.” Harris, Anthony Mackie, Wood Harris, Judy Greer, David Dastmalchi­an, and Michael Douglas.

After serving his jail sentence, Scott Lang (Rudd) just wants to reunite with his daughter Cassie and get his life back on track. But he soon discovers that people in the outside world – including his exwife Maggie (Greer) and her new cop boyfriend Paxton ( Cannavale) – aren’t particular­ly kind to former convicts. Beaten down by circumstan­ces, he agrees to pull off one last heist with his eternally optimistic buddy Luis ( Pena). It’s a crime that places him squarely in the path of Dr. Hank Pym (Douglas), a retired, semi-reclusive scientist who decides to enlist Scott in his life- long mission of preventing the Pym Particle – a technologi­cal breakthrou­gh that allows him to become the super- small, super-strong AntMan – from falling into the wrong hands.
