Not exactly. DC made a concerted effort in the several years before the movie was released to promote him to A-Lister. Making huge expansions on the Green Lantern property (including introducing the entire concept of the emotional spectrum) through the Sinestro Corps War and Blackest Night storylines. Even before that, he was still way more well-known than Ant-Man is today.
