After that disastrous overly dour first trailer, it appears that Marvel have finally realized something about the upcoming Ant-Man: it’s kind of silly. Once they stopped trying to sell the shrinking hero as a serious character, everything about the troubled production suddenly started clicking into place, including that hilarious and greatly improved second trailer. Now a new extended TV spot …

Did I say “misstep”? I meant drunkenly falling face first into cow dung. But Ayer appears to be back in winning form with Fury, a WWII tank movie that sees Brad Pitt leading a …
With movies like Training Day, End of Watch, Harsh Times and (unfortunately) Sabotage under his belt, it’s clear that writer-director David Ayer has a thing for telling tales about the men involved in modern law enforcement. Come this November though, Ayer will be upgrading a bit, going from tanking leading men to actual tanks, and from a war on crime to the biggest war …
