Martin Donovan Joins The Cast Of Marvel's ANT-MAN In "Pivotal" Role
Filming may be well underway, but the cast of Peyton Reed's Ant-Man continues to grow (geddit?) as Martin Donovan - best known for roles in Homeland and Weeds - has joined the movie in what is being described as a "pivotal role". Hit the jump for details!
Even if the name isn't familiar, Martin Donovan's face should definitely ring a bell as the veteran TV actor has appeared in everything from Boss to Hannibal (along with the shows mentioned above). The next project for the actor is a lot bigger though as The Hollywood Reporter reveals that he's joined the cast of Ant-Man.
Who is he playing? Unfortunately, the site don't know, but sources tell the site that Donovan is "pivotal" to the story, so it could be that he's playing a well-known character from the comic books Marvel want to keep secret.
Starring Paul Rudd as Scott Lang, Michael Douglas as Hank Pym and Evangeline Lilly as Hope Van Dyne, Ant-Man centers on con man Scott Lang, who has the ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength. He must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, protect the secret behind his Ant-Man suit from a new generation of world-ruining threats. The movie is set to be released on July 17th, 2015. What do you guys think about this latest addition to the cast? Sound off below!
