Ant-Man Edgar Wright's Ant-Man

[chiefchirpa]

Pym's Biotech Armor should be a sight to behold.

 

[MarvelKnight]

I think going with a high tech version of what you see in EMH would be adequate as far as the Pym Particles being absorbed into his entire body and cell structure.

 

[DrCosmic]

Ant Man = Bio Armor
Iron Man = Mech Armor

Like Chitin armor? That'd be weird and cool. Or are you just saying typical tech armor with some sort of 'bio' in the technobabble explanation?

I personally would rather Ant Man be sans armor to highlight the importance and utility of his powers as well as his underdog nature.

Which is exactly the same argument I've been making about people's suggestions of Nathan Fillion as Pym.

However Cooper could work as Scott Lang, who was meant to be cooler than Hank in the comics.

Yeah, I think the casting was a bit backwards in those manips. Pegg would be fine as Pym and Cooper as Lang.

 

[ironmaidenrules]

i still think patrick wilson would be tops for this.
dude can act
can play pathetic very well(barry munday,watchmen)
can play a bit manical(a-team)
sorta balding in the front----just would look good to highlight his age
soft voice---always figured pym to be more cold and calculating


shame he would never do it...but now with his HORRBILE cbs show going in the ****ter....

 

[The Morningstar]

Jason Bateman for Pym.

 

[BigThor]

The 21st Century for the time frame this film should take place in.

 

[BatsDC]

Yeah Cooper would be a good Lang, but I can see him playing Hank too. Would never happen though.

 

[DrCosmic]

Jason Bateman for Pym.

THAT would make my day.

 

[MarvelKnight]

Guy Pearce for pym?

 

[R_Hythlodeus]

does anyone know when the filming for the 3rd part of the Cornetto trilogy starts?
I guess as soon as Pegg finished shooting Star Trek (X)II. (in about one or two months, I guess)
add a year of production time, one or two months of promotion and I say pre-production for Ant-man will start around fall 2013. enough time to finish the movie for a late 2014 /early 2015 release.

“Ant Man… The Closest It’s Ever Been” – Kevin Feige
Written on March 30, 2012 by Rich Johnston in Film

Bleeding Cool has just had a remote videoconference chat with Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige from Disney’s Hammersmith offices, ahead of the release of The Avengers (Avengers Assemble in the UK) next month.
We’ll have a larger piece later, but I did want to share what Kevin Feige said about a favourite topic for Bleeding Cool, the Edgar Wright Jr/Joe Cornish scripted Ant Man project at Marvel Studios.

"It’s somewhere. I’ll just say it’s closer than it’s ever been in its long maybe eight year history, and I usually e-mail Edgar every two or three days and over those eight years its got further away and closer… we are now closer than we’ve ever been. So I hope it will come together shortly."

[TheWatcher]

Bateman would be a dream come true.

 

[Dark Raven]

Closest it's ever been?

But rumours of Sony being in trouble and potentially having to sell their movie division could also count as the closest we've ever been to a Marvel-produced Spider-Man movie.

A year ago, Ant-man was the closest it's every been compared to two years ago. And that was the closest compared to three years ago.

 

[Steve Holt]

it's gotta be someone on the cusp of fame, someone talented who they could build a franchise around (ala Evans, Hemsworth)

My pick would be Eric Christian Olsen, has worked with Evans at least twice before (Cellular, Not Another Teen Movie) great chemistry and charisma, can play dark and serious, is a scene stealer in everything he's in.
He'd definitely fit Edgar Wrights style easily

 

[Saitou Hajime]

Who was going to distribute Ant-Man had it got made pre-Disney era?

 

[Endeavor]

Paramount

 

[Rac]

There have been a lot of rumors that Edgar Wright filmed something for you guys recently, so I’m asking, “Did Edgar Wright film something for you guys recently?”

Feige: He did not. But I saw that tweet as well and thought, “Did he do something for us? No?” No, it wasn’t for us. But pay attention to his tweets in the coming months; that answer might change.

One last thing, do you think you’ll ever do three movies in one year?

Feige: Never say never. It’s not a goal, we’re not striving to do that, but circumstances sometimes may allow that to occur. Depending on what Edgar Wright films for us [laughs].

From this interview it's clear that Dr. Strange is the second 2014 movie. But if Edgar give them his OK, they made a third movie in 2014: Ant-Man. t:

The Avengers European Premiere Interview: Marvel President Kevin Feige Gives Studios Updates

April 19, 2012

It’s as close as it’s ever been. Edgar is getting excited to get behind the camera again and start some advanced prep work for Ant-Man… We are going to take some forward steps in a few months that will bring it closer than ever. In terms of release date, I don’t know.

[CoulsonFan]

Including Wasp from the get-go would keep it from feeling too much like an Iron Man retread. You can't just do another movie about a guy testing his tech in his lab. Some kind of Superhero/superscientist romantic comedy?

I'd like to see Ultron in the mix too, and not in a way that feels like he's just setup for a plot device. Maybe he's just a half-constructed prototype in the beginning. Make him a fun, funny character who the audience wants to spend time with. You really don't need to suggest there's anything potentially sinister about him early on. Slowly build something so there's an emotional payoff when he starts acting like Ultron. He could be the villain by the time you get to Avengers 4 and the principal cast from the current lineup aren't guaranteed to come back.

 

[DrCosmic]

I still say make Ultron a villain, in the same way that Loki was a villain in Thor, but perhaps less overtly. Let Ultron being the villain be the twist, so you can have even more emotional payoff than you did with Loki in Thor. Cuz, honestly... Pym doesn't really have any other villains worth talking about.

He could fight AIM. Edgar Wright's a guy who could find a tone that would make MODOK work, too.

 

[Son of Coul]

Huh, I never considered that. I agree that Wright could be the man to pull MODOK off if he chose to go that route.

 

[Dethklokx7]

A few people have seen early screenings of avengers and I wonder if there is ANY hint or easter egg to Pym or Janet? Maybe that last minute scene recently shot has some relation
