Casting Ant Man (2015)

A young Nathan Fillion would have been the ideal Ant Man. Since that option is obviously unavailable, who do you think would be a good Ant Man?

Paul Rudd is Henry Pym aka Ant Man.

I quite like some of the stuff Rudd's been in so I've got some confidence for this

Rudd just fits Pym perfectly Imo. Good move Marvel 👆

Just wish they could have been more patient by bringing in Ultron after Pym comes along!

It will have good action, that's easy, and looked cool in that teaser from ages ago. What it needs now is some Good Comedy! To make full use of Paul Rudd, and to have a guy who talks to ants being more funny than silly.

Rudd will be fine.

As a comic fan I've already lost interest. If he simply plays the Ant-Man part then fine.
But the character has alot of catching up to do if Stark was required to steal his thunder.

i agree

The initial plan was for antman to release before incredible hulk, but edgar Wright kept postponing his involvement in the project, throwing a wrench in marvels plans

Rudd maintains a good balance between subtle comedy and seriousness. Good choice in my opinion.

Hank isn't a funny dude tho, not in the series I've seen him in.

But hey, if they (Disney/MCU) plan on playing Pym like a lighthearted wise-cracker similar to RDJ's Tony Stark, then i suppose Rudd is an okay choice.

I think Disney is going for that egotistical, selfish douch bag vibe in Rudd

Honestly this may work in comics but I can't see the appeal for an Ant Man movie...

Alien invasion?
Government conspiracy?

SEND IN THAT GUY WITH THE ANTS!!!

Meh...

But I guess, considering how Marvel's most recent movies have turned out, they may as well cast a comedian in a leading role.

Ignorant jargon like this is the reason the mainstream thinks Aquaman is just a dude who talks to fish.

Let's be honest though, Ant-Man's superpowers are pretty lame. He may be useful, but he really isn't all that interesting IMO.

Edit: Now that I'm thinking about it. A comedy is probably the best way to go.

It's pretty clear with the way Marvel movies have gone so far that they will take the more comedic and fun approach to Ant-Man. And Paul Rudd always plays well off others in a big cast too (Anchorman, I love you man, 40 year old Virgin and even Friends), so I'd love to see him in Avengers alongside Downey, Hemsworth e.t.c.

On top of that getting some one recognisable will help with a character whose not so familiar to people. And with the name "Ant-Man" I think they really need that.

Plus, he just really looks like Ant-Man to me. Not sure why, but he does.

Nah, they can have tons of fun with the shifting of size from normal height to 5 inches to 50 feet.

Other marvel characters much more deserving of a movie
