Is Marvel Finally Prepping for an Ant-Man Movie?

Stan Lee tweets about his meeting with Ant-Man director Edgar Wright

A film featuring one of Marvel's oldest heroes, Hank Pym/Ant-Man, has been in the works for a few years. Besides director Edgar Wright's tentative attachment to the project, no definitive news has been released by Marvel Studios.

Today, 'Generalisimo' Stan Lee reveals that he has met with the director and the film might soon come to fruition:


"To make up for my previous grievous error, here’s a little item that may have escaped you. Marvel is prepping a movie starring-- Ant Man!"


"I had lunch with the cool, young director Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead) and, as you’d imagine, we had fun discussing the tiny hero "


"Ant Man is just one of the many wild treats Marvel has planned for you, such as Iron Fist, Dr. Strange, Black Panther and more, more, more!"

I don't really think Hank particularly needs a solo movie, but I think it could possibly work out. Just get Patrick Wilson, Evangeline Lilly, and make sure Wright stays on board, and I'm up for it.

But damn, I really want an Iron Fist movie (where he's paired up with Luke Cage too), and a Dr. Strange movie could kick all sorts of magical ass (provided they get Liam Neeson of course).

Damn, this has been a good week for CBM news, don't you think?

lol I need that imagge for my hellboy news story billyblack!At least superman had something to contribute after saying first.

I always thought that Simon Pegg would make decent Eric O'Grady, but not Hank Pym.

I don't know about Evangeline Lilly. A tad too tall and somewhat built like a brick shithouse. I'd like to see Alyson Hannigan, Emmanuelle Chiriqui, Eva Longoria, or Nora Zehetmer (wasn't she a favorite?).

I'd definitely get behind Liam Neeson as Dr. Strange. All he needs is his Ra's Al Ghul mustache, and you're good to go. Though Ethan Hawke and Patrick Dempsey have been talked about.

RoadDog: Lilly? Too tall? She's 5'5". Brick shithouse? She's just in good shape. Nothing wrong with that.

Lilly for Wasp :)
Wilson for Pym
Neeson for Strange
Hunnam for Fist :)

Shouldn't the Wasp role be played by an Asian actress if they're going to be consistent with the character as she is done now in comic books? Kelly Hu would be excellent!

Kristen Bell would be a good wasp

InTylerWeTrust
InTylerWeTrust - 2/9/2010, 3:48 PM
Isn't Wasp only Asian in the Ultimates? Marvel does seem to be taking cues from the Ultimate-verse in it's film-verse, but it's hardly something that "should" be done, or has any reason to be done. Lilly for Wasp!

della: Absolutely.

I like Hugh Laurie for Pym. He's got the a-hole pill popping doctor thing down already. Illuminati movie anyone? Wishful thinking, I know.

Kristin Bell would be good in an adaption of that shower scene in LEEE's pic up there, lol. Well actually all of the mentioned females would be create in such a scene. Screw that, just put all of them in together in a shower cat-fight scene and they'll have them self a movie.
Now what to call such a movie..hmm..I know:
Antman 3: Booby-shower war of the Wasps

don't mean to be "one of those guys", but an ant-man movie would be brutal. i think iron fist would be too much like the mortal kombat movies, but black panther on the other hand would be interesting.

Didn't Bell express interest in being Wasp or something? I can see her in the role, definitely.

Though, still, you can't beat Kate Austen :)

No to Scot Lang, Marvel seems to be keeping things classic with slight alterations. Bring in Pym and his lovely wife. I'll say this again as I have said all along. The Pym's will be in the Avengers.
