Marvel Studios' latest Ant-Man trailer was, if you can believe it, huge. Filled with high stakes action, plenty of humor, and the best looks at Yellowjacket yet, the second look at summer blockbuster had a colony's worth of moments to enjoy. 

But which clips were the true kings of the (ant) hill? Below, ComicBook.com takes a look at the Ant-Man trailer's five best scenes. As you'll see, not even a can of Raid will keep us from this movie now. 

Does Whatever An Ant Can

The powers of Hank Pym's Ant-Man suit were on full display here. As Scott Lang ran with legions of ants, clobbered goons with his size-changing abilities, and  communicated with the insects, the trailer showed us that having Ant powers would actually be pretty darn sweet.

Scott Lang wasn't the only character to get a big moment in the trailer. Hope Van Dyne, the female lead, proved that she's a romantic interest not to be messed with after Scott foolishly underestimates her. With one well-placed jab to Scott's smug mug, he (and the viewer) learned that Van Dyne will be more than a typical damsel in distress. Fingers crossed for a Wasp Easter egg. 

Yellowjacket Vs. Ant-Man

Yellowjacket was likely this trailer's biggest selling point for most viewers. The big bad received as much screen-time as the hero himself, constantly challenging Lang in microscopic melees. Judging by the number of different locations they clashed in, it looks like Yellowjacket might enter the fray fairly early-on in the film. The more insect battles, the better.

"I'm Ant-Man"

While the trailer was heavy on the action, it also reminded us that humor will be a big part of the film as well. Case in point: An hilarious parody of the superhero self-declaration trope found in most origin films. After Lang announces himself as Ant-Man to Yellowjacket, he quickly back-pedals and admits how silly the moniker sounds out loud. And no offense to Lang, but we'll admit that it didn't have quite the same panache as "I am Iron Man."

The trailer's last moment was the whole enchilada: A perfect blend of action and humor that, hopefully, will help distinguish Ant-Man from its Marvel Studios compatriots. Forget the might of Ultron—this summer's most thrilling Marvel villain could very well be Thomas the Tank Engine. Chugga Chugga.
