New Ant-Man Movie Info

[Spidey-Quad]

I just ran across this article, from June 08, which gives a 2010 date for an Ant-Man Movie

I'm one who has bought into an Ant-Man movie!

 

[DarkSovereignty]

sounds awesome. I'm looking forward to this cinematic feature.

 

[jimslimbo]

sounds really good...i wonder if janet will be the avengers movie, im sure she'll be in ant-man

 

[RonStoppablefan]

Well from what I heard they want all the actors to return as the characters in the Avengers movie, so I'd assume janet would too.

Wow... Wright looks like a young Crowe... Anyhow 2010 would mean Marvel would go beyond the two film limit per year. No big deal. But it's the only time to do it since there are only two other comic book films slated for summer 2010. I hope this gets done.

I actually don't like his idea for the movie. Seems like if they include Scott Lang in this movie then Lang will be in the Avengers. I'd rather they have Pym in the Avengers movie, then in the Antman movie put Scott Lang in the solo movie

 

[FaT_tONle]

Favreau has already stated that Marvel is keen on using Pym in Avengers. Lang if anything would be used for the sequel... which I doubt would happen. But giving him a role in Ant-Man won't take too much away from Pym IMO.

The one guy that I can now see playing AM since Marvel is keen on getting big names is Orlando Bloom. He's a big name and hasn't done shhh since the Pirates movies.

Ant-Man always makes me think of this:

I'm of the mind that an Ant-Man movie could be really good. Pym is actually a really complex character. Even looking back his early run in Tales to Astonish, he had a personality and approach all his own. However, I think that he should evolve into Giant-Man for the Avengers, while retaining his entire complex of powers from his Ant-Man identity. His constant tweaking of his powers and agility was a direct result of hanging with Thor, Cap, and the like.

My vote for the role? Jaime Bamber. (Apollo from BSG).

Also, The Wasp ABSOLUTELY must play significant role in the film for it to be successful.

Makes sense...maybe they'll have him as Yellowjacket in the Avengers...

 

[ai_ki_pez_man]

Yeah....I have a soft spot for the Yellowjacket character, too. I think that they should save this Pym for possible Avengers sequels, where Lang can take on the Ant-Man character. You could really get into some dark stuff with Pym in his Yellowjacket persona. Particularly when he tried to destroy the Avengers because of his own insecurity and the Wasp saved the day.....

Cool Joe Cornish is co-writing. I remember his adam and Joe show, it was so weird.

I hope we see Pyms insecurities in the Avengers too

 

[Clobberin' Time]

Huh, thats from my local newspaper?

 

[Hypestyle]

interesting... I wonder how scary the giant-bug footage will be.. my only caveat..

 

[Spider-Fan]

Interesting. If Marvel does get this out in 2010 (though I think it highly unlikely), I think this opens the door for possbily having Ultron be the villain in Avengers. This would be a good way not to rehash villains like myself and others have discussed in great detail.

Just develop Ultron in the background, and boom. We've got ourselves a villain!

As much of a Kang fan as I am, Ultron is the obvious choice for The first Avengers movie; then if there's a sequel, Kang, and a threequel, Korvac. Another possibility would be the Red Skull in a plot involving a cosmic cube. No Masters of Evil please...the last thing we need is a bunch of underdeveloped villains running around attacking people.

The one guy that I can now see playing AM since Marvel is keen on getting big names is Orlando Bloom. He's a big name and hasn't done shhh since the Pirates movies.

I'd love to see that, and it would almost GUARANTEE the movie's success....the question is: Would Bloom even consider it? And what type of paycheck would he want?

 

[StarkTheProdigy]

If this does come out in 2010 for sure, i will love the year 2010, it'll make up for 2009's marvel superhero movies.

 

[FaT_tONle]

I think May/June 2011 would be perfect... move Cap to July. Avengers can wait.

 

[Spidey-Quad]

But Orlando Bloom would need his LoTR's hair to play Pym. It would be a shame to cut that beautiful elf hair

Out of Ant-Man, Giant-Man, Goliath, and Yellow Jacket I like YJ the most.

 

[chamber-music]

I would rather see Ewan McGregor as Ant-Man than Orlando Bloom

 

[giggs11uk]

Simon pegg for Scott Lang

I think Kang is the only choice for sequel villain if Ultron can be used in the first. Ultron I think works better in bringing the team together than Kang does, but Kang would be a great choice in expanding the Avengers world (and up the threat level at the same time). Also, Ultron's use would make Pym more central to the movie (which has been one of my concerns with his use in the film). Without Ultron, he risks just being the other team member for the sake of it not just being a squad of 3 or 4.

I agree on the MoE cause they would end up being a group of already defeated villains fighting the guys who beat them. Just not that tough, especially in what should be one of the biggest moments this genre has ever seen.

Grouping Ant-Man and Cap in 2011 and Avengers in 2012 may be the wisest way to go. We get to see the team's leader blasted to today's world, and introduce the film's villain (since Ultron is a character that needs some form of introduction before he can become a full villain). This also prevents the film from having rehashed villain(s).
