Any movie as big as "Ant-Man" with such a tiny main character deserves a creative trailer. On Friday, Marvel decided to release a teaser of "Ant-Man" with a sense of humor by showing off 10 seconds of exciting moments in miniature.

Fans wanting to see the full-sized trailer can catch it during the two-hour series premiere of "Marvel's Agent Carter" Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET on ABC. "Ant-Man," which is being distributed by Disney, is scheduled to hit theaters on July 17, 2015.

"Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, master thief Scott Lang (played by Paul Rudd) must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats," according to Marvel.com. "Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world."

In addition to Rudd and Douglas, "Ant-Man" stars Evangeline Lilly as Hope Van Dyne, Corey Stoll as Darren Cross aka Yellowjacket, Bobby Cannavale as Paxton, Michael Peña as Luis, Judy Greer as Maggie, Tip "Ti" Harris as Dave, David Dastmalchian as Kurt, Wood Harris as Gale, Jordi Mollà as Castillo More.

"Ant-Man" is directed by Peyton Reed, who is also known for his films "Bring It On," "The Break-up" and "Yes Man." Reed replaced Edgar Wright as the director for "Ant-Man" in 2014, amid much fan speculation over the swap.

Kevin Feige is producing, with Louis D'Esposito, Alan Fine, Victoria Alonso, Michael Grillo, Edgar Wright and Stan Lee acting as executive producers.

Fans can get the latest information on "Ant-Man" from both its official Facebook and Twitter.
