Any Marvel Studios release is big news in the film world, and while "Ant-Man" is no exception to that rule, it isn't your average superhero movie. Opting for more comedy than other "Avengers" movies before it, the film has become a hit internationally, thanks in part to the effort of director Peyton Reed.

His film centers on Scott Lang (Paul Rudd), a burglar recruited by mysterious inventor Hank Pym (Michael Douglas). who becomes Ant-Man, an incredible shrinking superhero who can help Pym right the wrongs of his past.

"I think it's one of the more intimate Marvel movies," Reed says. "It's deliberately a smaller movie — pun intended, I suppose!"
