After Watchmen Patrick Wilson is returning to the world of superheroes, this time stepping into Marvel’s universe for Ant-Man. He has landed the last major role in the movie, according to Deadline, although it hasn’t been revealed who Wilson will play.
Michael Douglas and Paul Rudd are starring as Hank Pym and Scott Lang, the original Ant-man and the guy who ends up becoming his successor. It’s believed the plot starts in the 1960s, where Hank Pym, who has invented technology that can shrink him to a tiny size, is working as a spy fighting Communism for the government. The story then shifts to the present day, where Michael Douglas is an older Hank Pym. It’s been suggested Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang initially steals Pym’s tech, but eventually starts to work with him and become the Ant-man.
Michael Pena is also attached, playing a villain named Castillo, while Evangeline Lilly is in talks to play the female lead. He character is said to be Hank Pym’s daughter and the love interest of Scott Lang. How Patrick Wilson will fit into all this isn’t known.
Edgar Wright is directing from a script he co-wrote alongside Joe Cornish, with shooting set to begin in April.
