As for why an actress like Rashida deserves to do the role of the lead female character in Ant-Man, these are the many reasons why:
*She is the daughter of classic singers Quincy Jones and Peggy Lipton
*She was in a relationship with Spider-Man actor Tobey Maguire for 3 and 1/2 years which ended in 2000.
*She was a schoolmate of Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian.
*Despite several characters going through certain ethnic portrayals in adaptation from comics to films; if Rashida does get the role, we'll be lucky that Marvel Cinematic Universe's Wasp won't be too much of a big deal.
*Jones had a small role in the Kevin Smith film Cop Out. She appeared in The Social Network (2010), alongside Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, and Justin Timberlake, which was set at Harvard.
*She appeared in the Muppets film, along with Jason Segel, Amy Adams, and Chris Cooper. There she plays Veronica Martin, a network executive at the CDE network who helps the muppets get back their show.
*Her hair style matches one of Wasp's comic book looks.
*She is a comic book author
*With Paul Rudd having the upper hand at getting the role of Ant Man, Rashida Jones is a much wiser choice as Ant Man's love interest because it would really be weird to have someone 10 years younger doing the part
So if anyone wants to see Rashida Jones pull off the role of Janet Van Dyne for Edgar Wright's upcoming Ant-Man movie then please feel free to give her some support because we may not have anyone else more suitable for the character if Paul Rudd gets cast as Ant-Man.
Meanwhile stay tuned.
