Ant-Man hits $300 million at the worldwide box office

August 8, 2015 by Gary Collinson

Originally published August 8, 2015. Updated April 14, 2018.

As it reaches its fourth weekend of release, Marvel Studios’ latest franchise Ant-Man has crossed the $300 million mark at the global box office, reaching the milestone on Friday.

Ant-Man has surpassed the worldwide haul of 2008’s The Incredible Hulk ($263.4 million), but remains the second-lowest instalment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe behind 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger ($370.6 million). The film is still to open in a number of markets, including South Korea, China and Japan, so its box office run is far from over, although at this point it seems a certainty that the film will end up as the lowest-grossing chapter of Phase Two by a fair distance.

Ant-Man sees Peyton Reed (Down with Love) directing a cast that includes Paul Rudd (I Love You, Man) as Scott Lang, Michael Douglas (Behind The Candelabra) as Dr. Hank Pym, Evangeline Lilly (The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug) as Hope Van Dyne, Corey Stoll (House of Cards) as Darren Cross / Yellowjacket, John Slattery (Iron Man 2) as Howard Stark, Hayley Atwell (Captain America: The First Avenger) as Peggy Carter, Anthony Mackie (Captain America: The Winter Soldier) as Sam Wilson / Falcon, Judy Greer (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes) as Maggie, Bobby Cannavale (The Long Play) as Paxton, Michael Peña (American Hustle) as Luis, Abby Ryder Fortson (Togetherness) as Cassie Lang, David Dastmalchian (The Dark Knight) as Kurt, Wood Harris (The Wire) as Gale, T.I. (American Gangster) as Dave and Martin Donovan (Inherent Vice) as Mitchell Carson.
