Joseph Gordon-Levit and Paul Rudd front-runners to play Marvel's Ant-Man. UPDATE: It's Paul Rudd. - Polidicks

[url]http://variety.com/2013/film/news/paul-rudd-joseph-gordon-levitt-ant-man-1200724612/[/url] [quote=Variety] Sources indicate the two are expected to meet with Marvel execs and Wright one more time before a decision is made and that there's also a possibility of one more actor being added into the mix. Pretty interesting choices. After staring in the single Ant-Man movie, they would then be moving on to take part in Avengers 3, and seeing either of these guys in the Avengers would be pretty funny. Guess we'll be finding out pretty soon. [/quote] UPDATE: [url]http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=112684[/url] It's Paul Rudd.

I would definitely be happy with JGL playing him, not sure about Rudd.

I thought they already started filming

[QUOTE=meppers;42525603]I thought they already started filming[/QUOTE] even if they did, they don't usually film in the order that the movie is put together location and actor grouping dictates

[QUOTE=meppers;42525603]I thought they already started filming[/QUOTE] Not a hard mistake to make considering an ant-man film has been trying to get off the ground since the fucking 1980's, with Edgar Wright announced as director for this latest attempt way back in 2006. I keep waiting for this one to vanish again.

Cast JGL as Scott Lang and Paul Rudd as Hank Pym.

they must be doing scenes that require stuntmen first or something [IMG]http://iwatchstuff.com/2013/10/02/ant-man-bluescreen.jpg[/IMG]

Paul Rudd is a weird choice but I haven't seen much of him besides comedies. Maybe he'll do well. JGL is a good choice though

Just an FYI, that photo is from filming the old "test screening"

I'd like to see Paul Rudd in a serious film, but I don't think a super hero movie would be the best way to start. I'm all for Joseph on this one.

I'm sorry, I just can't see JGL as Ant-man.

[QUOTE=DuCT;42526767]I'm sorry, I just can't see JGL as Ant-man.[/QUOTE] Everyone says that about every superhero.

[QUOTE=meppers;42525877]they must be doing scenes that require stuntmen first or something [IMG]http://iwatchstuff.com/2013/10/02/ant-man-bluescreen.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] pretty sure that's a behind the scenes picture from the concept teaser video they played at comiccon.

I really hope Paul Rudd get's the part, He is so underrated.

I can't really imagine JGL in the role of someone who [sp]beats his wife.[/sp] Then again, I can't say that about most people. I don't know if that's really a spoiler but I figure some people might not know it. Should be an interesting movie, can't wait to see it.

I remember watching Two Days and he was totally perfect for that role. JGL's pretty flexible but Paul Rudd would probably do it better, at least if it's going by Ultimate Marvel's version.

Out of all the possible heroes... Ant-Man?

[QUOTE=Archonos 2;42527134]Out of all the possible heroes... Ant-Man?[/QUOTE] considering ant-man was originally one of the founders of the avengers in the comics. yes.

[QUOTE=meppers;42525877]they must be doing scenes that require stuntmen first or something [IMG]http://iwatchstuff.com/2013/10/02/ant-man-bluescreen.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] could be test footage too, just so they get an idea for the CGI guys to work with after seeing Gordon Levit in Looper and Inception i want to see more of his serious side and less of his funny side, just my take on things. he's a great actor but he hasn't really had much of a chance to show it besides looper which put off many people because of the complicated plot and lets face it, scifi draws less of a crowd than action or superhero [editline]15th October 2013[/editline] i mean they do run tests before the actual shooting begins to try to get a better picture of what the movie is going to look like camera wise so they don't have to waste so much time on set with actors trying to get the lighting just right or the right feel

[QUOTE=Archonos 2;42527134]Out of all the possible heroes... Ant-Man?[/QUOTE] it should be celery-man IMO

Annnd it's Paul Rudd [url]http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=112684[/url] Never thought Paul Rudd would be joining The Avengers.

Well that's appauling. He better do a ruddy good job, I say!

Being a bit bored of comic book movies I'm actually looking forward to this, because of Edgar Wright.
