Corey Stoll Talks ANT-MAN; Praises Both Old And New Versions Of The Script

Corey Stoll will apparently play Darren Cross, the CEO of Cross Technological Enterprises in Ant-Man, and rumour has it that he'll suit up as a villainous version of Yellowjacket. Here, he talks about the script and his excitement to still star in the movie despite Edgar Wright's departure.

Collider recently caught up with The Strain's Corey Stoll, and the actor (who received a great deal of acclaim for his performance in the first season of House of Cards) revealed that it was original writer and director Edgar Wright who chose him to star in Ant-Man and that he "absolutely" still intends to star in the movie for Marvel Studios and Peyton Reed. As for how he feels to work with the Yes Man helmer, Stoll added: "I’m absolutely thrilled! Reading the script – and the script that Edgar wrote, and the script that there is now – it’s insane that this movie hasn’t been made before. Obviously, you need the technology because it needs to look great. But the whole idea of the changing of scale and the experiential effect of size changing is just so cool. You read these scenes on the page, and I just got giddy." Unfortunately, they couldn't get any information out of the actor about the character he will be playing in Ant-Man, but he did express his excitement about starring in a very different kind of comic book movie. "I think it’s gonna be so much fun. You can get a little fatigued with superheroes because everybody is just punching everybody, or shooting everybody with ray beams. This is a completely different kinetic experience in the theater. Shrinking and growing back, there’s just so much material there to root it in. I think it’s gonna be great!" What do you guys think? Sound off below!

he was so good in "Midnight in Paris"...it's awesome to hear his enthusiasm now! so very looking forward to this..I think Peyton Reed is quite possibly a Hail Mary of a great directing save for it.

With all these Marvel news it seems like it's comic-con already.

@PAF if the rumor is true, he's the villain of the film.

I watched the first episode of The Strain and his voice sounds oddly similar to Ralph Fiennes in Red Dragon. So I can't wait to see him in Ant Man

Strange that this is the first Ant-Man news that has rekindled my enthusiasm (somewhat) for the film.

If you don't watch it, House of Cards is great and he is fantastic. I'm 7 episodes in and he's managed to be sympathetic and weak and bold, strong and engaging. Very good actor.

I've been behind this project for so long I can't jump the gun now. It has so much potential and could possibly be another fantastic entry in the MCU. While I cannot wait for Avengers: AOU, Ant-Man is the film I'm anticipating the most but that's just me. Until either of those films come out though I'll just make do with GOTG! Got my tickets for opening day :D

Aw really? I hope they don't do him like Malekith. Ugh. He is very good. Especially in Midnight in Paris and House of Cards. Haven't watched the Strain yet but been meaning to just 'cause of him.

I couldn't recognize him with hair on his head!

He was great in House of Cards and as Hemingway.

I just got a text from Yoss. He said that whoever gets a hold of Wright's original screenplay and leaks it, will be allowed to do whatever they want with his body for five minutes! Aaaaanything. Damn!
