RESULTS: Who Would You Like To See Behind The Mask In Edgar Wright's ANT-MAN?

It looks like Edgar Wright will have to be on the lookout for angry comic book fans if he doesn't use a certain Ant-Man in the upcoming Marvel Studios movie! Over 4,200 of you voted when asked to choose between Hank Pym, Scott Land and Eric O'Grady and you can find the results here!

Ant-Man is currently expected to be released in 2014, and while rumour has it that we'll see Scott Lang behind the mask in the film (possibly based on the, "To Steal An Ant-Man" story) it definitely seems as if you guys want a certain Ultron creating, wife-beating hero to make his debut on the big screen. It's understandable, especially as Hank Pym is both a founding Avenger and would likely guarantee the introduction of The Wasp. In fact, there's no reason why both he and Lang's Ant-Man can't play a role in the movie, although how do you then decide which of them appears in a follow up to Marvel's The Avengers?! We'll have to wait and see. For now, check out the results below and sound off with your thoughts in the usual place!

I'd love to see Eric O'Grady but maybe as an antagonist. Not a full fledged villain, just a dick that Hank has to face after he steals his suit. O'Grady would be a good anti-hero but I don't know how well audiences would accept it.

Only the genius , Hank Pym , who else ?

I haven't read a single Eric O'Grady comic, but really, it would be like making a Terry McGinnis Batman movie WITHOUT having established Batman as Bruce Wayne for half a century.

Pym has to be Ant-Man at SOME POINT.

With Hank Pym there is ULTRON and that is a must in my book

Oh I thought they meant what actor. I didn't read the first poll. Why would there be anybody besides Hank Pym?

Also, Scott Lang is dead... has been for 8 years, and it wasn't until RIGHT before he was killed off that they started building his character SOMEWHAT. If he was featured as a main character, scratch that THE main character, then Marvel would find some way to resurrect him.

For those calling him a wife-beater, read this.
Is Hank Pym a Wife Beater or Did He Get a Bum Rap?

I think the decision to give Hank his mental breakdown was the writers' way of trying to push Janet away from him and develop her as more of her own superhero than just Hank's wife. Unfortunately, Hank got the shit end of the stick, and the writers just don't know what the heck they want to do with him.

No doubt it has to be Pym. It is only a matter of time until Ultron is in the Avengers and no one but Pym can be behind the creation of Ultron. Of course with Pym, you have to have Janet as well.

Correct me if I´m wrong, but wasn´t there even a Hank Pym-reference in Thor? So it should definetly be him then!

Hank is a seminal and compelling character in so many, many ways. He'll be a great addition to the mix.

Woody Harrelson for Hank Pym!

We need Hank Pym in the MCU. Need him. Whether he's behind the mask or not.
thetrojan
thetrojan - 7/21/2012, 10:03 AM
woody harrelson would be ideal,but I think the marvel co will be looking for some younger actors to be involved in the whole universe for a little longevity.

Edgar Wright and Marvel better be paying attention.

Ant-man is wanted and it is Hank Pym and Hank Pym only by a landslide.

Don't give us a watered down version. Ant-man is a hard enough sell alone, it would be so much worse if ignore the actual fans of character.

Adrien Brody for Hank Pym!

Pym as Giant-Man & Lang can have Ant-Man. But Pym needs to be Ant-man first!

I hate it now that Ultimates has ruined him he is always said to be a "wife beater" he struck her one time because of deep depression. Seriously.

This is what I'd do: I'd have Hank use the Ant-Man uniform a few times then, have Scott use it. Then in the Avengers have Scott be Ant-Man and have Hank be Giant Man. :)

JohnnyKrypton - 7/21/2012, 12:20 PM
Peter Parker and Reed Richards both whacked their pregnant wives while in their right minds...if they're not wife-beaters, Pym (in the midst of psychotic break) sure as hell isn't either

@JohnnyKrypton,what issue was that? I remember seeing Parker and M.J. living at The Avengers Tower, but never remember about the "waking" of the pregnant wives"? and was this before or "after" May was born? Thank you.
