Marvel's Ant-Man movie billboards

Now here's a refreshingly original billboard idea along the Sunset Strip in all it's super-sized glory, as Marvel's Ant-Man eschews the standard superhero pose, which is becoming a bit tired of late, for a far more inventive ad creative for the diminutive hero.

This brilliant light-switch billboard gives the optical illusion of being 3D on a giant scale and also conveys the fun that can be had with a comic book character that can shrink to the size of an ant.

The other billboards in the outdoor ad campaign for this Marvel hero aren't too bad either, as this special extension version brings bullet-time excitement on the back of a flying ant.

And can you spot our miniscule hero atop the hyphen in his name in this smaller ad creative.

Ant-Man brings Phase Two of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to a close and introduces the world to the size-changing, ant-controlling 'Scott Lang', played by funny guy Paul Rudd.

Changing his comic book origins slightly, Michael Douglas plays Scott's mentor in the film, 'Dr. Hank Pym', who along with his daughter 'Hope Van Dyne' (Lost's Evangeline Lily), provide the con-man with a super-suit that allows him to shrink at will, providing super-strength at ant-size and the ability to communicate with insects to pull off a crime heist to help protect mankind.

Along with trying to reform from his criminal ways and raise his daughter, 'Cassie', Ant-Man must also face his own insect-themed nemesis, 'Yellowjacket' (who in the comics is another alter-ego of Hank Pym), played by The Strain's Corey Stoll.

This super-sized light-switch billboard was snapped making a spectacle along L.A.'s Sunset Strip on June 24, whilst the small Ant-Man logo version was spied the same day along Fairfax Avenue and the special extension billboard was spotted above Santa Monica Boulevard near Westwood Boulevard two days earlier.

If you're an admirer of Paul Rudd (who is looking mighty fine as Scott Lang), you can also check the actor out in these fun Anchorman 2 movie billboards, this Dinner for Schmucks billboard and this How Do You Know film billboard.

Marvel fans will also want to get a closer look at Paul Rudd's Ant-Man movie costume on display at ArcLight Hollywood cinema.

Plus be sure to also check out these movie billboards for Avengers: Age of Ultron, Captain America movie billboards, Thor movie billboards and Iron Man movie billboards, whose mighty ranks he'll soon be joining no doubt.

He may seem small with the unlikeliest of powers, but this Summer heroes don't get any bigger, so get switched on to Ant-Man. 

UPDATED: Here's another special extension billboard for Ant-Man, which is such a fun film and a real treat for Marvel fans, spied along Ventura Boulevard in Studio City on July 2, 2015.

Plus here's also a larger landscape billboard featuring the Ant-Man logo, snapped along Olympic Boulevard on July 10, 2015.

UPDATED: In addition these bus shelter and construction hoarding posters also illustrate how creative and how much fun the Ant-Man outdoor campaign has been.

These examples featuring the main cast of the movie in soft focus with our minuscule hero in sharper focus, were snapped at the corner of Beverly and La Cienega Boulevards on July 6, 2015.
