Paul Rudd & Rashida Jones Said To Be Close To Signing On For ANT-MAN

It seems that Rashida Jones rumor from last week might well have been true! The Schmoes Know are reporting that she, along with rumored Ant-Man contender Paul Rudd, are close to signing on to play Janet van Dyne and Hank Pym in Edgar Wrights's Marvel fick..

Hot off their Beetlejuice 2 scoop, the Schmoes are at it again with some big Marvel casting info. According to their source, Paul Rudd is very close to signing on to star as Henry Pym in Edgar Wright's Ant-Man movie, and he might be taking his I Love You Man co-star Rashida Jones (this was first reported by Superheromoviesnews) along with him as Janet van Dyne (eventually of course, The Wasp). The site reckon this is more than a rumor but "a very active development within Marvel’s camp". Of course we won't know for certain until it's officially announced, but if the Tim Burton directing Beetlejuice 2 story is anything to go by, this could well be reported by the trades over the next couple of days. If this does happen, what do you think of our Ant-Man and Wasp?

If Paul Rudd and Rashida join ant-man it will just be a lazy casting man. Another comedy movie from the duo. They're good choices, but let's be more original. Get Ewan McGregor.

I think Paul Rudd could do a really great job as either Pym or Lang.

Rudd is for sure Lang, McGregor is most likely Pym, Jones is a fine choice, would have preferred Baccarin or Winstead.

Now the question is: will they shoot a surprise cameo for Age of Ultron?

I really hope this turns out to be more of an Ant-Man/Wasp movie!

Why does Rudd automatically have to be Lang? I could see him as Pym

I dont care about the bird, but Rudd might be interesting.
Ewan Mcgregor would have been nice though.

I Love You, Ant-Man.

I'm down with this. I also called Paul Rudd back in April on a rather inspired game of casting with a friend. Hope it comes to pass just so I can gloat.

Let's not get our hopes up for a super serious movie here.

Wright - Primarily a comedic director
Rudd - Primarily a comedic actor
Marvel - Loves using comedy

I'm not objecting, but this certainly isn't going to be as suspenseful or heist-like as, I think, I recall Fiege described it.

I don't carried there is a ton of humor in ant man. Ant man works with humor.

Paul Rudd will be the selling point as Ant-Man is a big unknown for mainstream marvel fans.
