Rob Corddry is perhaps not the first person you think of when conjuring a shortlist for comic book villains, but this particular fiend is his dream role.

“I want to play the bad guy in Ant-Man. The bad guy in Ant-Man. Tell the world!”


This confession was given in an interview with Comic Book Resources so he may have just been playing to the audience, but despite his eagerness to face off against the Marvel Universe’s tiniest hero, the casting news hasn't come yet. But who knows. If they are going to play up the comedy, it might not be a bad choice. Corddry has distinguished himself in similar genres and could definitely play it straight if need be.

Egghead could work. So could Whirlwind, Radioactive Man or MODOK.

He is actually a really nice guy in person. He is a great and funny actor, hopefully they will find a role for him.

I've enjoyed Rob Corddry since he was on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

Hm... Dude is cool but I hope he's not implying that he'd want a comedic, hammed-up role. We're waaaay beyond that. The last CBM that didn't take itself seriously as a movie as was apologist and corny because it was a "Comic Book Movie" was Green Lantern and look how well that movie did.

I want Rob Corddry to be in Ant-Man. Make it happen.

@jimoakley666 Well its a funny stoner comedy that also pokes a lot of fun at racial stereotypes as well. And it stars the race that most people least expect to be stoners: Asian (Korean and Indian).

As an Indian guy, I think its pretty funny.

Also, no. Rob, your funny but most people who are campaigning for roles never get them. Pretend you don't care, introduce yourself to Edgar and smoke a bowl with him and then say, "dude, I could totally be the villain in your movie" Then offer him a cornetto and a cigarette and it's yours.

Hellbaby...Hmm...is that a prequel to Hellboy? >.<

Yeah, get him on board. He'll make for some good laughs, but he can't be taken seriously...EVER.

I'm assuming he wants to be the bad guy in Ant-Man because he's seen online that they're making an Ant-Man movie and his thought is "Ant-Man? That's gonna be a stupid piece of shit." He probably has no idea who Edgar Wright is, unless you said "he directed Shaun of the Dead" and then he'd go "Oh yeah! I know of that!"

He can play Egghead. Although the studio has to eventually pick whose going to play Antman, they sure are taking there time though.

@AutoFreek, nothing at all, thank the heavens. I know you're a lil confused because "Antman" has a lot of the same letters as "Batman" but you need to sound it out next time. Better yet, just search for "Affleck" and you'll get there...

Worried with all these comic actors attached in the rumors for this film. I would hope for a serious film, not comedy throughout. Even RDJ is not a comic actor, but could pull off comic lines in an overall serious film...
