Bleeding Cool have posted what they claim is a casting call for Marvel's Ant-Man movie (though it first appeared over at Bloodhaven Banter under "Untitled Marvel project"), which will be directed by Edgar Wright. As you can see we don't get a whole lot to go on but they're clearly looking for quite an ethnically diverse bunch, many of them big and tough by the sounds of it; but still capable of bringing the laughs (of course). Bleeding Cool suggest that the kid could be Cassie Lang, daughter of second Ant-Man Scott Lang, and if that's the case obviously it would mean that this version of the character would not be Hank Pym -- unless they're both in the movie that is! That's just speculation until we have more to go on, but what do you guys make of this? Sound off in the usual place.
Young girl, aged 6 to 9 – intelligent and appealing
Asian male, 30s – huge, tough and intimidating, comic ability
Caucasian male, 30s – over 6′, dangerous and rough, comedic
Italian-American male, 50s – scary and unusual features, deadpan humour
Russian male – 30s or 40s, wiry and smart, deadpan humour
Male, 20s or 30s – Under 5’8″, smart and funny
Last we heard, Paul Rudd and Rashida Jones were
close to signing on to play Ant-Man (whichever one it turns out to be) and Wasp, but there's been no word since.
