What if Werner Herzog directed 'Ant-Man'? He would battle existentialism and nature

After a lukewarm entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, wouldn't it be great if Ant-Man got rebooted by German auteur Werner Herzog? So instead of ant-surfing you get ... existential crises and German-accented monologues on the deadly nature of man and beast.

Well, this trailer by

reimagines the smallest Marvel hero as the one that carries the greatest burden: the burden of human suffering. Scott Thomas does an eerily spot-on impression of Herzog's narration, juxtaposing the monotonous apathy of his voice with the brutal nature of ants. There's also a giant chicken. This trailer is awesome.
