Marvel’s Ant-Man (July 17, 2015)

This is in its entirety a story of redemption: Scott Lang needs to leave aside the life of crime and prove to his daughter (and to himself) that he is a hero, while Hank Pym must reconnect with his daughter.

We believe that this is also the reason why Ant-Man was chosen as the final flick of Marvel’s Phase II – because it shows that each of the characters needs to come to terms with their past for a better future. Ant-Man is a redemption story, just as much as it shows that anything can get very personal for superheroes (Stark’s girlfriend kidnapped, Steve’s old friend becoming a brainwashed assassin, Thor’s girlfriend in peril and his mother killed, Star Lord realizing that he is much more than just a thief, Scot Lang becoming a true father figure).

What do you think? Is redemption the red line which connects all the Marvel Phase II movies?
