Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Paul Rudd are in the running to star in Edgar Wright's Ant-Man film, which is the first part of Marvel's Phase 3 films. Ant-Man will be released in late July of and no other actors have been attached the film as of now. Concerning the casting of Hank Pym/Ant-Man, I think both JGL and Rudd are fantastic choices for the role. JGL is one of my favorite actors and even though he is not as old as I would like, he is such a good actor that I doubt he would disappoint. Plus, JGL would be another actor to play both a Marvel and DC character, which is odd. Although I have not seen much of Rudd, he fits the appearance and age that Ant-Man should be. Basically, either choice is fantastic and is an infinitely better choice than Armie Hammer. Despite how much I like both actors that up for the role, Nathan Fillion is still my preferred choice in my fantasy cast, even though that is incredibly unlikely. Also my preferred choice for Hank Pym's girlfriend/wife, Janet van Dyne aka Wasp, is
Morena Baccarin. Aside from the fact that Firefly fans like myself would love to see Fillion and Baccarin back together again, Baccarin looks exactly like Wasp and she can certainly pull off the role. Who is your preferred choice for Ant-Man? JGL, Rudd, or Fillion? Please comment below.

I agree, I'd love to see Nathan Fillion and Morena Baccarin in those roles! :)
ReplyDeleteBut I agree, those actors seem like they'd be good for the role, and I know JGL could pull it off since he's a good actor.
We can always hope for Fillion and Baccarin! :)

JGL, please! :) I know next to nothing about Ant-Man, but JGL is great at everything, and since he's not Batman... Plus I've been wanting to see him as a full-fledged superhero ever since TDKR. Great, now I'm getting my hopes up....
ReplyDeleteAgreed, JGL will be amazing!

Fillion would be amazing!!! Obviously he would be my first choice out of the three!
ReplyDeleteHowever, Rudd has a good face; I don't think I recognize him from anything but that's a bonus for me because I can then not be comparing or remembering him to his other roles. :)

I agree about Rudd, I like having him possibly play Ant-Man because, like you said, he is not recognizable.

AHHHHHHH I LOVE JGL!!!!! Yes oh please make him Ant Man<3<3<3 That would make me soooooo happy:)
ReplyDeleteAfter Fillion, JGL is my first choice and I really hope he is cast! :)

JGL! Or Armie. No Rudd, please. As for Nathan -- well, I'll watch him in almost anything, but not sure he's a great fit here, sorry.
ReplyDeleteJGL is the most likely to play the role at this point, but I really cannot see Armie in the movie.
