Fans have been waiting on hand and foot for news regarding the cast of Henry Pym and his alter ego Ant-Man, well it seems the studio have narrowed it down to comedic actor Paul Rudd (Knocked-Up, The 40-year old Virgin) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (The Dark Knight Rises, Inception) and possibly one other unnamed actor.
Apparently, both actors are set to meet with the studio one more time before a decision is made.
In the Marvel universe, Henry Pym is a fantastic scientist who can make himself as small as an ant and as big as a house. He has also gone by the name of Giant-Man, Yellow Jacket and Goliath, but is mostly remembered as Ant-Man. Interestingly, Pym is also the inventor of a super computer which became self-aware and decided to kill mankind – Ultron. The next Avengers movie will be entitled The Avengers: Age of Ultron.
