Nailed it. love the casting

Cool. Looking forward to seeing him and RDJ banter!

Rashida Jones is still just a rumor right?

**** yes! My favorite in a Marvel movie directed by Edgar Wright. I can't wait...

This should be fun.

They have to move that release date, though. Currently, it's scheduled for July 31, 2015, TWO WEEKS after Batman vs. Superman. Why not release in August?

A bit more on the potential plot...

Cool.

I like the casting choice. Kind of wish Ant-Man was Pym, but I get the reasoning if the writer's hunch is correct.

I don't know a lot about Ant Man, but I do like Paul Rudd.

I know nothing about Ant man, but i have always been a fan of Paul Rudd and his dry sarcasm.

Approved

Good stuff, I'm sure Nathan Fillion fans are disappointed though.

Will be interesting to see him in a role with less straight humor than he usually plays.

WHY DID NO ONE SAY EDGAR WRIGHT IS MAKING THIS MOVIE?!

I'm in!

Just saw that Panther mentioned Edgar Wright. Sorry, but I'm very excited.

Re: artificial intelligence: "That's not how I would have done it, Stark."


/Pym, in the comics, created Ultron.

I don't know a lot about Ant-Man other than what I've read on TexAgs and a little bit of Wikipedia-ing when I heard Wright was attached to direct.

But after reading the plot description I'm a little confused, anybody familiar with the character care to shed some light?




***potential spoilers but not really***

I have always heard that Ant-Man is Hank Pym, who's some genius scientist, creator of Ultron etc... So who is Scott Lang? Are purists going to be pissed about this? And does that mean Hank Pym is still in the movie in a big way?

[This message has been edited by Sex Panther (edited 12/19/2013 11:56a).]

Scott Lang is another hero who wore the Ant-Man suit after Pym went on to other identities (I swear Pym's had at least five different identities).

Lang stole the suit but was given permission by Pym to continue to be Ant-Man. Lang also became an Avenger.

There was another Ant-Man - Eric O'Grady - a SHIELD agent who later stole the suit and used it pick up women (and spy on Ms. Marvel in the shower):

/sorry for the image size, but wanted to share

That's totally what I would do

Some test footage of Rudd as Ant Man, hot off the presses.

lmao

My understanding is that Pym is kind of a ******** and this way they don't have to change hos character, but can also make Ant man a character that people actually like.

Edit... seems silly it edits out calling someone a Richard head. Are we in the 3rd grade.

Antman is like everything I hate about the hulk but backwards.



*for some insane reason, conservation of mass is the one belief I can't suspend in a movie.

I knew I recognized that name, he did all of the Simon Pegg/Nick Frost movies, excellent.

The picture on that link is from wet hot american summer, a very underrated comedy.

Looks like Paul Rudd as Scott Lang (not Pym) is all but confirmed. Devin at Badass Digest with a follow-up, re: a recent Edgar Wright post...

http://badassdigest.com/2014/01/06/edgar-wright-all-but-confirms-scott-lang-is-his-ant-man/

Lang sounds like an Asian name, which Rudd isn't. But Lang doesn't look Asian in that picture from the comic either.

Am I missing something

Pretty sure Lang isn't Asian. I have a blond-haired, blue-eyed, Texas-born friend with the last name Lang as she's definitely not Asian.

And it looks like Michael Douglas is Hank Pym?

Interesting to say the least...

Blech. Do not like at all. The guy is 70 years old, this completely rules out the possibility of seeing Hank as Goliath/Giant-man/Yellowjacket/etc.

I'm guessing they need to have a reason that Ant-Man in the films will only be Rudd, and this is why Pym can't take on the role himself.

Again, I don't know a thing about Ant-Man, but I understand fanboys getting up in arms about it. But from what I can tell, most seemed to take The Mandarin "rebranding" pretty well.

Michael Douglas
