Ant-Man The Official Ant-Man News and Speculation Thread - Part 1

Ha! Knew it! Either Janet was going to be Pym's daughter or his younger lab assistant.

Or both.

Or both.

Jeez...had no idea I could get this excited over an Ant-Man movie. Insane.

 

[TeeKay]

Me too, I'm no fan of the character but that concept footage looked awesome and impressive imo.

A bunch of Avengers / Ant-Man rumors. Take with a huge grain of salt, but it's an interesting read.

All of that is complete crap. Roger Wardell hardly has any inside sources--he claimed that Zemo and the Masters of Evil would be the villains of Avengers 2 at one point.

 

[Son of Coul]

Such ****ing awful writing. We'll be blessed once he's proven wrong yet again.

That would appease the nerd rage a bit for the Wasp being Pym's daughter.

I think that'll anger people more.

Wasp is Pym's daughter, pairs up with Scott Lang Ant-Man to kick butt in Avengers 3.

YASSSSSS!! I am down for this biz. You get Wasp/Hank in some preserved form. And Wasp in the MCU. If she's paired with Scott, whatevs.

I get my Jan!

 

[Dr. Evil]

If Jones is Janet, then I would think that his mother will be a black woman.

More on Pena's role on the film...

This might indicate he's Cuban.
What is it about Marvel 60's era movies and Cuba?

Hey if it leads to an appearance from the Howling Commandos, I don't mind it.

We need more of the Commandos in MCU.

Not complaining. Just would find it odd if they make the 60's stuff dealing with Cuba seeing as First Class has been there done that.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Screenrant says that Javier Bardem and Cliff Collins were considered for the role that Pena is likely to play.

Based on the summary, I think that role is too small for Bardem to play (he's my top choice for Dr. Strange if they go the Latino route).

 

[Ant-manic]

You have 2 issues here. Either you get a old Wasp that no longer kicks ass, or you get a Wasp that is Pym's daughter so that she can kick ass with new Ant-Man.

What would make people rage more? lol.

well one has precedent. Jan and Scott teamed up in the Siege of Avengers Mansion storyline. it was decent; Jan even got to call most of the shots.

 

[The Ironstar]

Am I the only one who thinks Wasp will potentially be Scott's love interest in this film?

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Lord are people still taking Wardell seriously?

Cool with the Janet/Hank dynamic. Surely they're going with Jones? Unless she has some kind of scheduling conflict, I dunno. Hopefully we'll hear something soon.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I will believe them until the harsh light of reality punches me in my Rashida Jones-loving heart.

I'm hoping the female is Jan, I don't even care who it is at this point (RASHIDA! Or Lucy Liu/Nicole Beharie/Lynne Greenwood…) I'd love a WOC, but I'll take whomever IF I JUST GET JANET VAN DYNE!

Rashida Jones though…

Marvel does have a woman of color, but she's playing an Alien.

Wardell is good for a few laughs.

Yeah, I know, and I adore Saldana. But I meant a woman who would likely end up in the Avengers.

Wasp! Jones! Gah… it's meant to be in the fancast in my head.

She's a double whammy, black and latina.
Love her.

Jones as Wasp may be the closest thing to a black female Avenger we are going to have in the MCU. While I expect Misty Knight to appear on Iron Fist, the only connection Misty has to the Avengers is Tony Stark creating her bionic arm. And Monica Rambeau....well, lets just say that we won't be seeing her anytime before Avengers 3.

Unless of course, they introduce Jocasta or Tigra and have them played by light skinned Black women.

 

[Ant-manic]

I actually spec'd he might be Foster b/c the role was said to be "cool". Or maybe that's a hint about the villain? Does Hank have any villains who freezes things?

Pena's a talent. Whenever he pops up in something, I'm always like, "Dude needs more stuff to do in Hollywood. He's good!" Glad Marvel's looking at him.

I'm so impressed with Marvel's (official) casting, no lies.
