Joseph Gordon Levitt as Ant Man/Henry Pym


Joseph Gordon Levitt has been famous for movie roles in (500) Days of Summer, Inception, 50/50, Premium Rush, The Dark Knight Rises, Brick, and Looper, and also appeared in The Lookout, Manic, Lincoln, Mysterious Skin, and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and Now he and now he and Paul Rudd are tied as the two front runners for Edgar Wright's upcoming Ant Man movie which marks as the start of Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase Three and these are some of the reasons why he must be the one to play Dr. Hank Pym in the films:

*Joseph Gordon Levitt is more popular than Paul Rudd

*Gordon-Levitt is younger than Rudd and more reasonable to play the character

*For his role as Cobra Commander in GI Joe Rise of Cobra and John Blake in Dark Knight Rises, Levitt's got the skills to both scientific researching and survival in battle which suits him better for Ant Man

*Paul Rudd is too much of an embarassment because of his roles in This is 40 and Identity Thief

*Joseph Gordon Levitt worked with Black Widow actress Scarlet Johansson in the movie Don Jon and it would be a pleasure to see those two fight along side in the third and final Avengers movie if Scarlett is able to depending on her character's fate in the upcoming Avengers Age of Ultron film

*Because he's been working out during his works in the Don Jon film, Joseph Gordon Levitt should definately start putting those abs into better use such as fighting bad guys like Ant Man's arch enemy Egghead

*In his early 30's, Joseph's role as Ant Man will go great once an actress younger than him is selected for Janet Van Dyne aka the Wasp

*Just like Hank Pym, Gordon-Levitt is very much gentle at first and then rough when threatened just like the part in Dark Knight Rises where he was being cautious as he was threatened by terrorists and then with Batman coming to his rescue, he takes down Christopher Judge swiftly after disarming him

So if anybody wants Joseph Gordon Levitt casted as Ant Man for Edgar Wright's upcoming movie in 2015, then by all means hurry up and cast your vote for him now while you can and until filming starts, please stay in touch

Out of the two, I pick JGL. But, I think Ewan McGregor would've done marvelously

Not a huge fan of JGL as Ant-man but it is better than Rudd. I have to agree with Epirome, Ewan McGregor would be cool

I hope Paul Rudd gets the part, cause I dont see JGL as Antman. I do still wish JGL will play Dr Strange or atleast have a roll in the MCU.

Im with Terry. I like JGL as Strange (he looks like him in Lincoln). I actually like Paul Rudd as Pym, I think hes played similar characters

I'd prefer Paul Rudd.

Is Scott Lang in this too?

Aquaman,

Agreed! Spelling one word incorrectly is bad enough. Reusing it repeatedly is so awful.

So JGL has said the story about him being Ant-Man is "lies"

This article has some very weak arguments. "JGL is more popular"
