Ant-Man The Official Ant-Man News and Speculation Thread - Part 2

[Ant-manic]

I have no clue. Besides, it may not be Pym. It may be Lang dancing:

he probably wouldn't even be Ant-Man, yet.

 

[Ant-manic]

my hope is that it's a shadowy meeting between trenchcoat-wearing Pym and Fury; w/ Pym indicating that he may have 2 "volunteers for your war."

Some science fiction helmet thing.

It is from the weapon x days shown in Marvel Comics Presents where he got his Adamantium and stabbed to death almost everyone in the story.

thanks Chamber!

The avengers beat Ultron and finally track down the genius behind it - Pym who has gone mental/paranoid from his crazy experiments

he could be one of the scientists they consult when trying to stop Ultron.

just imagine Michael Douglas wearing the yellowjacket uniform and acting insane when tony asks him how to stop Ultron

 

[CaptainCraig]

We should start getting more casting news soon right?
Filming begins in June or was it July?

I think that the main cast is already set, but all it needs is Marvel confirmation

 

[chamber-music]

I expect we will get an official cast list from Marvel within a month.

he'd actually be pretty cool-looking in the suit. but I think they could get away with him kind of being in shadow; with a real yellowjacket buzzing somewhere in the foreground.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I expect we will get an official cast list from Marvel within a month.

Hopefully we get Lilly, Stoll, Wilson, Pena and Gerald announced.

they should do it with individual posters of the various actors in-character.

did any of you watch Agents of SHIELD yesterday? in the opening, a news report shows Deathlok killing (decapitating) a Hydra-linked Columbian crime figure named Alejandro Castillo. Michael Pena was rumored to be playing a castro-esque villain named Castillo. I wonder if there's a link. they never explained why he was killed. maybe it's because he effed up with Ant-Man.

Well, if the rumors of Pena playing Castillo in present day as well as in the past are true, the one that died might have been his brother or cousin.

 

[metaphysician]

Its conceivable. If so, presumably its the son or grandson of the original. However, its hardly a stretch for a 60s leftist dictator to have kids who got into organized crime, probably with an intermediate step at "leftist revolutionary/terrorist" on the way.

 

[Dr. Evil]

If they plan on using Pena to be a Castro-like figure, maybe Castillo has a brother, like Fidel Castro does in real life.

that's what makes sense to me. i doubt that he'd be known as a crime lord and be the leader of a country. he'd probably leave the seedier stuff to his underlings or family. or maybe i'm just really desperate for any news on this movie. t:

I think we won't get some news until after next week, when Agents of SHIELD ends.

what gets me is that she looks so much like Janet. it's like Janet was physically based on Evangeline Lilly then transported into the past; to appear in the avengers comic. her relationship with Hank aside, this is probably one of the most faithful castings (physically and personality-wise) in the MCU. i predict that she will quickly become a fan favorite; after appearing in an Avengers movie. can't wait to see her suit.

then, as good as the show has gotten, i'm rooting for it to end. bring on the news!

 

[Dr. Evil]

Once Agents of SHIELD ends, I expect a slew of announcements from Marvel Studios.

i wonder what this means for the involvement of Hydra in the Ant-man movie. will the terrorist group be the only link to the MCU-proper?

Maybe unless they make Hank a former colleague of Howard Stark.
