‘Ant-Man’ Crawls Home Dec. 8
The next installment in Marvel’s cinematic universe of “The Avengers” features a size-changing scientist using his technological advances to become a superhero. When a petty crook named Scott Lang gets his hands on a formula that enables him to shrink down to an insect’s size, Hank Pym, the original Ant-Man and inventor of the formula, comes along to mentor Scott in taking over the role. With the help of his new powers and Hank’s positive influence, Scott may just be able to turn his life around for the better as a crimefighter and defender of the world.
