When Marvel's "Ant-Man" hits theaters July 17, 2015, director Peyton Reed will help shepherd the hero into the Marvel Cinematic Universe with a cast led by Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas, with writer Adam McKay contributing to the film's script.
 
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.


Anyhow, with Peyton Reed taking over directing duties, Ant-Man stars Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas, Evangeline Lilly, Corey Stoll, Michael Pena and Patrick Wilson, and will release July 17, 2015.

Now we just got to wait till the movie drops, and see if this all works out. Director is kinda lame, but at least they found somebody to get this project going.

Still wish it was just Pym, or at least a younger Pym that could interact/join the Avengers. Wasp better not be his daughter, either.

Marvel manages to produce a movie that seems more laughable than F4.

Im....okay with this. I know why Wright walked, they changed his "passing the torch" idea.

I wonder if they plan on killing off Pym or setting up a Ant-Man duo for future installments. I would go with the latter since its more interesting.
