IRON MAN's 'Christine Everhart' Reports On 'Scott Lang' In New  ANT-MAN Promo Video

It was initially assumed that Leslie Bibb would be reprising her Iron Man role as Christine Everhart in next year's Captain America: Civil War, after the actress had previously teased returning to the character, but it has since been revealed she is actually taking part in the viral marketing for next week's Ant-Man movie. In yet another WHIH World News promo video that cleverly ties the upcoming film to the events of Avengers: Age of Ultron, Everhart reports on Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) and his "cyber-criminal" past while also teasing an "exclusive" interview with the ex-con next week.

It's really cool how Marvel and Disney have established the fictional WHIH News as an actual show set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The official Twitter page for the program even acknowledged how Tony Stark would be celebrating the Fourth of July over the weekend. Hopefully this continues with Captain America: Civil War's viral marketing and "Phase Three" overall. What do you think?






Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, con-man Scott Lang must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. 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. Directed by Peyton Reed, Ant-Man stars Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas, Corey Stoll, Evangeline Lilly, David Dastmalchian, Michael Pena, Bobby Cannavale, Abby Ryder Fortson, Judy Greer, Wood Harris John Slattery and Gregg Turkington with multi-hyphenate T.I., and the film opens July 17, 2015

Should've had this ages ago. Great marketing campaign. Hoping for shout-outs to Daredevil, Spider-Man and more heroes in the news.

They seem to be teasing the Civil war storyline when she says, "The issue of more government control and transparency when it comes to our superpowered citizens is going to continue to be a hot-button topic”

Also take a look at the news ticker at the bottom of the screen and you'll see references to Jane Foster and Wolfgang von Strucker

@DCMarvelFreshman What do you mean by promo video? Many of my friends lost family during the tragedy of Sokovia. Christine Everhart is also a respectable news reporter who would not be caught dead associating with Stark. Although I support the registration act, we should not be talking real world politics on this site. Thank You! *Resumes eating Fish Oil*

This was so cool. Reminds me of the viral marketing campaign DC Films used for the lead-up to Dark Knight with Michael Anthony Hall as a news reporter.

LOVE the news crawl at the bottom. And what is really, really cool here is that this is being released in real time, with Scott's impending release from San Quentin happening next week! How cool is that?

I love how all the Marvel films are so deeply interconnected. It truly has fleshed out into a very "real" universe with a lot of depth and character.

And this is absolutely smart marketing. I hope they also have this little vignette on TV to get more people excited for this movie.
