Marvel Studios has released a new viral video promoting Ant-Man.

Staged as a global newscast, the viral video announces Scott Lang’s upcoming release from federal prison. The newscast fleshes out some of Lang’s backstory, describing him as a “cyber criminal” and partially explaining how he wound up behind bars in the first place.
The video also has a nice shout-out to Marvel’s other big movie of 2015, Avengers: Age of Ultron, with a report on the devastated nation of Sokovia. As viewers will remember, The Avengers and Ultron left the fictional nation devastated during the film’s events.
You can view the video below.
And say, doesn’t that newscaster, Christine Everhart, look familiar? She should, as she’s the same reporter (played by Leslie Bibb) who “did a spread” on Tony Stark in Iron Man, and interviewed Justin Hammer in Iron Man 2.
What do you think of Scott Lang as a “cyber criminal?” Let us know in the comments.
Ant-Man hits theaters on July 17…hey, that’s the same day Lang’s getting out of prison. Hopefully his celebrations include a visit to ComicBook.com’s official Comic Book Movie Release Schedule.
