THE DARK KNIGHT'S David Dastmalchian Joins ANT-MAN

Apparently the studio are keeping his role under wraps, but Deadline report that David Dastmalchian (Thomas Schiff in The Dark Knight) has joined the cast of Marvel's Ant-Man. More past the jump..

Here's our first bit of Ant-Man casting since Yes Man director Peyton Reed took the reigns on the troubled Marvel flick. We'd thought all of the actors were in place, but now Deadline report that David Dastmalchian has signed on to play an "unspecified role", which Marvel is said to be keeping under wraps. Of course it could just be a minor role, but if there's secrecy around it there's also a good chance that he'll be playing an established Marvel character. Any ideas? Dastmalchian has also appeared in the multiple-award winning psychological thriller The Employer, Sushi Girl and Prisoners. He was most recently seen on the FX comedy The League, and Showtime's Ray Donovan


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.


Ant-Man also stars Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas, Evangeline Lilly, Corey Stoll, Michael Pena and Patrick Wilson, and will release July 17, 2015.

*Sigh* I still care for this film, I do, but linking the cast and characters is a waste of time. They're either merging, butchering or creating characters.

Yes that makes perfect sense Mr Cool. He played a henchman in that, so he must be playing the same in this! I mean what the [frick] was I thinking reporting this casting? Nobody should ever be allowed to report on Mr Dastmalchian being cast in anything ever again because he had no lines in the Dark [frick]ing Knight. Brilliant!

If the rumors of Moon Knight being in Ant-Man are true, then maybe he's Marc Spector. He has that crazy motherf*cker type look to him.

way to over react, i wasn't directing anything at you, im more talking about deadline then anything, i don't see how its such a big deal casting an actor who really hasn't done much in his career, my opinion would be different if we knew who he was playing, but we don't so this could be a super minor role for all we know.

I just hope Marvel Studios pulls off a miracle and makes this a good movie, doesn't have to be fantastic or excellent. Just a good movie that can be re-watched several times.

Oh, he played the Arkham inmate with schizophrenia. He was pretty convincing. Great actor.

I have no idea who he could be playing.

hey don't pull me into your little anger club dethpillow.



i just don't see the point in reporting that a small actor has joined a film when we don't even know his role or how big a part he will play, its like reporting that this one guy you knew is an extra in this big film, if he has a big role congratulations, but for now, i just don't really see it as "news"
