Movies that feel likeAnt-Man (2015)

Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, master thief Scott Lang must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Doctor Hank Pym, protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.

If you loved Ant-Man, the closest films we have are Black Panther (2018), Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) and Captain America: Civil War (2016). All three share Ant-Man's cerebral and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Thunderbolts* (2025).
