"No," Wilson replied when asked if he'd tried on a costume. Asked whether he'll play a hero or villain, "Can't tell you." Confirming he's in the movie, Wilson added that he has an "important role". Wilson was then asked if he'd learned anything from Watchmen, in which he played Nite Owl, to take into Ant-Man. "No, totally different world. I love Watchmen, I love Zack I love the process of that, I'm so happy with that," he replied. When asked if he'd read a script, Wilson simply answered "Yes."

Ant-Man stars Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas, with Michael Pena, Clifton Collins Jr. and Evangeline Lilly for rumored roles. Principal photography is scheduled to begin in May, while the film releases on July 17, 2015.

Don't worry. Maybe in 50 years, they will give an "Honorary" Oscar.

I always thought Wilson would make a great Professor Zoom, but I guess that ship has sailed now. I hope he's playing 60's Pym though, he'd be great.

BatmanHeisenberg - 3/8/2014, 2:47 PM
And a golden globe...



Plus he is mostly tv. Poor Leo, just avoiding the facts. Sigh.

BatmanHeisenberg

I was just saying that he has a GG. Leo's GG is okay I guess, but so is cranstons. I love Leo, I just was giving you shit.

Def Pym. He has that nerdy voice about him, like he did in Watchmen.

1960'S Hank Pym will be played by Rafe Spall ...I thought that was confirmed already. if not? oops..
Kurne

Yeah, young Pym it is. He was asked if he has a big role or small role and he said important. I really hope flashbacks take place throughout the movie, not just opening credits/Watchmen-style.

60s Pym. He's gotta be young Pym. It's too obvious

That was scooped up (here) last year. Possible, but we haven't heard anything from other sites.

I think Wilson and Chris Evans are the only two actors to star in a DC and Marvel movie now.

How did this Ant-Man thread turn into a Leo thread??

This is a Marvel Film thread people. You need to be talking about comedy, puns and sight gags.
And it needs to be toddler friendly. Young kids could wander in here after checking John Cena's page.

And Patrick Wilson is too good to be in a Marvel film.

Why are people saying that Wilson is too old to be Pym?

A few years ago he was the fanboy favorite for the part.
