The fact that almost all of the characters on that list require some comedic skill screams "Edgar Wright's Ant-Man" a lot more to me than "Age of Ultron."

Joss Whedon doesn't do comedy?
Anyway, casting calls released to the general public are for very minor roles and extras. Odds are these are very unimportant characters, probably one-liner comic relief types at best. "I'll have what *she's* having," from When Harry Met Sally type of thing.

Why would Ant-Man start filming *before* AOU, when AOU comes out many months before Wright's film?
 
The Avengers: Age Of Ultron films early next year according to most reports.

Kevin Feige says Ant-Man films next Summer. If Wright and Feige are still on schedule we should know who is playing Ant-Man (Pym & Lang) within the next six weeks.

Wright needs to get a head start given how slow he is on everything. He'll still end up finishing his script after Avengers comes out.

To be fair to Wright he is sticking to the schedule that Feige stated earlier this year.

lol, based on the casting call, I don't know who else it could possibly be. Based on the casting call I'm guessing that Radioactive Man is the bad guy in the past. Then in the present, Taskmaster gets asked to steal some equipment from Pym's old lab. Scott Lang is going to be trying to break in as well to get the suit. Lang manages to steal the suit but watches as Taskmaster lifts some equipment of his own. Lang follows Taskmaster to Count Nefaria's lair where MODOK is born.

Taskmaster escapes to cause havoc on the Iron Fist TV show. MODOK kills Nefaria but not until Nefaria injects himself with Extremis. Lang manages to disable MODOK but MODOK manages to be reactivated after the credits where he finds Mandarin's old AIM labs.

I have no idea where Wasp fits into this since I don't know which time period she'll be in. I'm also not sure if Hank's story is going to still be as far back as the 60s.

That sounds overly convoluted. There isn't going to be a whole entourage of villains in this.
 
There may not be any super villains in this. Didn't Wright say that he wanted to concentrate on telling Ant-Man's story and not getting bogged down with having to also set up the villain as well?

How about AIM?
 
Dark Raven said:
Well in that case they've already been set up, and that's fortunate for Edgar Wright, if he chooses to use them.

Also it would connect the film to the rest of the MCU without having any guest stars from any of the Avengers or SHIELD.
 
Who would be the villain if they go with the "To Steal an Ant Man" storyline?

On Marvel.com The 50 Greatest Avengers of All-Time list Hank Pym came in at number 7 with Scott Lang at 46. Eric O'Grady didn't make the top 50.

Feige says that Eric is not going to be in this movie.

that's actually kind of embarrassing for Hank. he was a founder. the Avengers were a footnote for Scott Lang. the Fantastic Four were his team. in a 90s era issue of Avengers, Bill Foster explained to Scott that Hank was extremely jealous of him being welcomed into the Four (thrice). Scott, technically, turned the Avengers down twice.
 
Hawkeye was tied for 2nd with Thor in that list too...just saying
 
I don't think 7 is bad for Pym on a all time greatest avengers list. Vision, Wasp, Iron Man, Thor, Hawkeye and Captain America were ahead of him. I might of swapped Pym for Vision but other that I think it is pretty solid.

Latino Review mentioned Jessica Chastain was in talks for the lead role for Ant-Man, but then she had a nother movie and pulled out.

Honestly, I love Jessica Chastain, but she would have been so wrong for the Wasp.
 
I can't help but feel most of these casting rumours are fake.
