Ant-Man DVD date announced

The much more I think about Ant-Man, the much more I like it. It’s been treated as a poor cousin of the marvel film universe, not tying into the big Avengers franchise, but that gives it the ability to operate on its own as a much more stand-alone “man finds his destiny through acquiring powers and learning to help others” film. and the cast was talented — Paul Rudd as the lovable loser, former thief Scott Lang; Michael Douglas as the jaded scientist Hank Pym seeking revenge for the sake of the world; and Evangeline Lilly as the overlooked daughter, protected “for her own good” by the men in her life (who need to instead let her find her own abilities).

The premise is as expected: Lang learns to shrink and work with ants over the course of the film, eventually leading up to a number of action set pieces as he works to stop Corey Stoll, the generic businessman bad man who’s stolen Pym’s invention. I’m curious to view the film again, to see what details emerge.

Marvel has now announced that the film will be available on Blu-ray (list price $33), DVD ($30), and Blu-ray combo pack ($40 for 3D Blu-ray, conventional Blu-ray, and digital copy) on December 8. The HD digital version will be available a month early, on November 17, through Disney films Anywhere. special features on the Blu-ray and DMA include:

One of the best parts of the film was Michael Peña as Lang’s heist buddy Luis, who has a great, humorous way of narrating his plans. That method figures in the new home video trailer, as shown here:
