Yeah, you’ve seen the “show me how to punch” scene a dozen times already. Just about every Ant-Man trailer and TV commercial has included a snippet of it — mainly because, well, Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) knows how to throw a good one.
However, in the above clip, we get some more of the scene’s context than what’s been provided before. It’s not that Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) doesn’t know how to punch — after all, he “was in prison for three years.” Rather, as Hope explains:
“When you’re small, energy’s compressed. So you have the force of a 200-lbs. man behind a fist a hundredth of an inch wide. You’re like a bullet. You punch too hard, you kill someone. Too soft, it’s a love tap. In other words, you have to know how to punch.”
This is going to be fun.
