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.

People are gonna lose it when they see the word humour at the end of practically all of these.

This confirms Scott Lang, his daughter is right there too.

I doubt there will be an actual "villain" in this, Wright generally doesn't do them, I would expect it to be a bunch of suits from a certain antagonistic company, however Marvel needs to sell toys, so I dunno.

@NovaCorpsFan

People are complaining about "over excessive humor", key word being "over excessive" not "humor". If it's balanced like in Iron Man or subtle like in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight(biggest lie that's currently being spouted around is that there was no humor in Nolan's films, which is absolute Lie!!!) then it's not a problem, however if it's like Thor: The Dark World, then it is.

Edgar wright is known for expertly balancing humor, action and drama ,most notably the worlds end which is especially lauded for its suprising amount and well done drama, the only ones in terms of directors that im concerned or worried about is The russo bros(but seeing the cap footage has my worries almost gone) and james gunn which i think is a good choice but his style might not be to everyones liking or taste

i have a theory ,since kevin and edgar have said that this is a heist film ,is that a team hank pym or scott lang assembles to rob whatever they have to and the kid has to be Cassie Lang

I really don't mind if they use Scott Lang. He can really push the film forward. I'm fine with it as long as the film is good.

Paul Rudd seems like a terrible idea. I could not take any movie seriously with him as a superhero, I mean are people really thinking that's a good idea?

I like the guy and all, but for Ant-Man? Seems like a terrible choice.
