At ComicCon, Marvel and Edgar Wright confirmed that Ant Man is on the way, presumably as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe series. Test footage was shown, but no release date or actor was given.

Heard the footage rocked. Can't wait.

So glad this movie is getting made. Ant Man and Wasp have to be in Avengers 2. I have no clue who to cast for this because it depends what age they want to make Pym in this movie they, but I would have no problem with Benedict Cumberbatch or Logan Marshall-Green for a role skewing a bit younger.

I don't understand why everyone's so stoked for Ant Man, maybe it's just me but the character just looks really lame.

Now this one I am really excited about.

I know at one point it was supposed to be separate from the rest of the continuity, but hopefully that's changed.

The only Marvel movie announced I kind of care about.

I think most of it comes from Edgar Wright's involvement, not because of the character.

I'll admit the super powers of ant man seem fairly generic and boring from an outside perspective. But the character of Hank Pym is so intertwined into the Avenger's mythology at this point that it would seem dumb for the studio to ignore it.

Is it too much to ask that Nick Frost is cast as Pym

For those wondering, this is probably close to what the suit will look like from what the descriptions of footage said:

Looking forward to this.

I have absolutely no idea who Ant Man is, but I love Marvel movies. Time to search Wikipedia...

Well that, and you can't really have Ultron, one of the Avengers' greatest enemies, without Ant Man and Wasp. My only concern is juggling so many characters in an Avengers sequel. I know they'll be there due to the star power of Renner and Johannsen, but I could care less if Hawkeye and Black Widow are in The Avengers 2. haha

Kinda sounds like a Megaman boss.
