1. A Different Motivation
When it comes to superheroes, they are usually here to save the world - and so is the case of Ant-Man, some might say, since he is there to stop the villain Yellowjacket from selling his own Ant-Man technology.
However, there is a twist in Scott Lang's motivations for donning the suit - stopping Yellowjacket is just a means to an end.
Scott Lang wants to become a hero, but in the eyes of his own daughter – which means that this won’t be just a heist movie, but also a movie about the father-daughter relationship. The trailer can be viewed in here.

2. Comedy Actors Can Look Like Regular Superheroes
As it is known, Patrick Wilson was the fancast's top choice for the role of Ant-Man. However, to literally everybody's surprise, Paul Rudd was cast in the role of the diminutive superhero. And, obviously, nobody believed that he can play the part.
We aren't saying that just yet (even if his comedic experience falls right into place in this trailer). But what we are saying is that he looks just like a regular superhero - much like Chris Pratt did in Guardians of the Galaxy.

3. Ant-Man Can Control Ants
Much like in the comics, the tiny superhero can communicate with ants. As director Peyton Reed said later on, all these ants will be CGI: winged carpenter ants, bullet ants and fire ants.
Granted, we only caught a few glimpses of this ability, but it is there and this is very important for the character in itself.

4. Hank Pym Is A Mentor
Granted, the first Ant-Man trailer was rather dull, and that is mainly because of Michael Douglas's Hank Pym monologue. However, this also reveals something else: Hank Pym didn't just hire Scott Lang for a job, but it also teaches him how to take the reins and become a superhero.
As Kevin Feige later on said, this is the first Marvel movie in which the torch is passed from one generation to another. Obviously, this metaphorical torch also refers to the fact that the old Marvel roster will be replaced by a new one. And Ant-Man is the first movie to introduce a new superhero.

5. Marvel Can Actually Release a Dull Trailer
Let's be frank - the trailer for Ant-Man is a rather generic one, with just a few glimpses that could actually tell us that this is indeed a superhero movie.
But this trailer alone, in all its dullness, cannot speak for the entire movie - which is still about 6 months away from being released.
