Marvel-lous men...

JOE

Get ready for Ant-Man…

The latest Marvel hero to make it to the big screen may not be quite as well-known as Iron Man, as massive as The Hulk or as beautifully bequiffed as Thor and his luscious locks, but Ant-Man is one small hero who packs a mighty big punch.

Just like our esteemed pint-sized President, Michael D. Higgins.

Ant-Man is swarming its way into Irish cinemas on 17 July and the film’s tiny, titular hero is played by Paul Rudd, a man who JOE.ie Editor, Paddy McKenna, understandably fell head-over-hero-heels in love with when the pair met recently.

You can watch that full, loved-up interview here.

Paddy also got the chance to chat to the director of Ant-Man, Edgar Wright Peyton Reed, and scene-stealing funnyman, Michael Peña, who plays one of Rudd’s best burglary friends in the film, Luis.

Enjoy…
