There are still many people that doubt the effectiveness of the 'Ant-Man' film in the MCU due to its fairly frivolous concept, although at a recent press junket, Kevin Feige states that they've always been aware of this.

Being the movie that follows the film of epic proportions, 'Age of Ultron,' they understood how 'Ant-Man' would seem in comparison, however they also want fans to know that the comedic film doesn't go out of its way to be funny.

Marvel classically injects humor in all their films, and this one doesn't stand out. He also states how he believed that this film could be the "antidote" for 'Age of Ultron':

"I don't think we set out and said, 'This will be our funniest movie,' or 'This is a comedy.' I don't look at any of our films as necessarily one thing, but humor, as we always say, is a huge element. When you're dealing with a concept - people riding ants, people communicating [with] ants, calling ants 'Antony' - you have to acknowledge to the audience that we know this is funny to a certain extent. And even when we cast Paul, people thought, 'Is it a comedy because you cast a comedian?' We cast the guy we thought could be a kick-ass superhero who happens to be funny.

"In terms of coming off of Ultron, when we put these two films together in this year, it was always knowing that one could be the antidote to the other. That coming off of Ultron, being as sort of gargantuan an exercise as it was, that'd it be fun to do something yes, that was funny, but also dealt on a very different scale. Had the same kind of, hopefully, thrills and action elements, but in a very different way. So it's a flying country in one film, and it's a little girl's bedroom in another film."

There will naturally be a lot less riding on this film then 'Age of Ultron,' so audiences might subconsciously be less critical.

'Ant-Man' premieres in theaters July 17.
