Avengers 2- New Recruits: Ant-Man

ANT-MAN


Since the Ant-Man film is still scheduled to be filmed, it is not a long shot to see Ant-Man battle scientific wit with Tony Stark and Bruce Banner in Avengers 2. According to sources last year, filming of this movie could have started this month. However, since there is no confirmation on who will be the titled role, I think it's safe to continue putting in our two cents. Now the question we must ask ourselves is who can we see standing toe to toe with Robert Downey Jr. and Mark Ruffalo in the science lab.


One front runner in several fans' opinion is Nathan Fillion . Many fans have been rallying behind this pick since the mention of the Ant-Man movie coming into fruition. Some have said he doesn't have the name to carry such a movie but you cannot deny he has an army of committed and loyal fans from Firefly and Castle. And some fans of Desperate Housewives and One Life To Live might also recognize this great actor.
There was also a rumor that Adrien Brody is a front runner for the role. No one can deny he is an amazing actor who is known for playing intellectuals and/or artistic types. However, can he be a believable super hero? Possibly. He does have an atypical sexiness about him.
Another name that had been thrown into the gauntlet is Jared Padalecki. After crisscrossing the nation with his TV brother following super natural occurrences, is this actor ready to hold down a full-length, action pack super hero movie? Who knows? He has the good looks, but he also still holds that boy-next-door appeal. However, would he look like an infant in the lab next to Downy and Ruffalo? Perhaps.
Now, can you picture Bradley Cooper brandishing red tights and antennas on his head? We know he has the acting chops and incredible comedy timing. His name brings a legions of followers so we know he can star in a big film.

Next, for your consideration is a man who has already donned spandex in another movie: Patrick Wilson. He has the looks and the talent. I believe it will be easy to picture him in either a lab coat or an ant mask. However, how many people know him by name?

What do you think? Who should be the next Ant-Man in 2015? Any of these guys or your own pick?

  1. I heard Nathan didn't want to role. Also, are you sure it wasn't ADAM Brody who was rumored for the role?
