Jordi Mollà Joins ANT-MAN As 'Castillo'; Supporting Characters' Forenames Revealed
In addition to a new Ant-Man cast member who just might be playing another villain, hit the jump and find out the first names of characters to be played by T.I., Judy Greer, David Dastmalchian, and Wood Harris
The folks over at Stitch Kingdom have come across an updated synopsis for Marvel's Ant-Man adaptation which has revealed not only supporting character names, but also a new cast member. It was previously reported that actors Bobby Cannavale and Michael Peña will be playing Paxton and Luis, respectively, in the Peyton Reed-directed moive, but the new synopsis now reveals that that Tip "T.I." Harris is Dave, David Dastmalchian is Kurt, Wood Harris is Gale and Judy Greer's character is named Maggie, who the actress previously revealed will be Scott Lang's ex-wife.
Regarding the new addition to the ensemble cast, it appears that Spanish actor Jordi Mollà, who's probably best known for playing the main antagonist of Michael Bay's Bad Boys II, will be playing Castillo in Ant-Man. This seems to confirm previous rumors from the beginning of the year that said Castillo would be a villain at the beginning of the Marvel movie, which will be set in the 1960s. While Michael Pena was originally said to be playing Castillo, rumors also said the character would be a variation of the real-life Cuban President Fidel Castro, who has appeared in Marvel Comics. Considering principal photography on Ant-Man wrapped in Atlanta last week, Jordi Mollà may not exactly be new to the ensemble cast. However, he is at least "new" to our knowledge. What do you think?
Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, con-man Scott Lang must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world. Directed by Peyton Reed, Ant-Man stars Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas, Corey Stoll, Evangeline Lilly, David Dastmalchian, Michael Pena, Bobby Cannavale, Abby Ryder Fortson, Judy Greer, Wood Harris John Slattery and Gregg Turkington with multi-hyphenate T.I., and the film opens July 17, 2015
