Rudd plays Scott Lang/Ant-Man, who according to Marvel, must
help his mentor Dr Hank Pym, played by Michael Douglas,
safeguard the secrets behind his Ant-Man suit. Full of special
effects, the plot sees the two plan a heist to save the world.
"The macro-photography of the ant ... is going to blow your
mind," Douglas said at the film's premiere on Monday night.
"You've never seen the ant's perspective before and it is
spectacular."
Director Peyton Reed said Rudd, known for his roles in comedy
films such as "Anchorman" and "This is 40", was a perfect fit
for the "Ant-Man" superhero role.
"He has this wit about him," he said.
"He's such an amazing dramatic, comedic actor. There is a sort
of inherent absurdity to 'Ant-Man', he shrinks and controls ants
and Paul is so great as that character, acknowledging the
weirdness of the basic idea."
The film also stars "Lost" actress Evangeline Lilly and Michael
Pena of "American Hustle".
"Ant-Man" is released in U.S. cinemas on July 17.
