Look Out for the Little Guy! - A fictional memoir by MCU's Scott Lang, a.k.a. Ant-Man

Scott Lang, a character from the Marvel Cinematic Universe portrayed by Paul Rudd, is now narrating his tale. Marvel Studios revealed on Thursday that it will release Look Out for the Little Guy!, a fictional memoir by Scott Lang, a.k.a. Ant-Man, in September. Furthermore, the book is mentioned in the studio's upcoming film Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, in which Scott advertises his memoir at the start of the story and makes use of his Avengers-level fame before embarking on yet another adventure involving the quantum realm. But Look Out for the Little Guy! is all too real, as Rudd says in the Marvel Studios video announcing the book's real-life release. In the video, which opens with Rudd reading a few passages from the memoir, he explains, "That's right. This one movie prop is now an actual real-life book you can purchase wherever books are sold. How's that for meta?"

"Who is he? What's he like? Why does he look so much like me?"
