I have been a fan of Paul Rudd for years. I especially loved him as Phoebe’s main squeeze in Friends. Although I love him, I never thought I would ever see him cast as a super hero. So, I am pretty excited to learn that we will be seeing Paul Rudd as Ant-Man in an upcoming Marvel movie!
First Look At Paul Rudd As Ant-Man
Marvel Studios will soon be introducing Paul Rudd As Ant-Man to moviegoers in 2015. Ant-Man is an original founding member of The Avengers. Paul Rudd will be portraying Scott Lang {aka Ant-Man}. The movie will also star Michael Douglas as his mentor Dr. Hank Pym and Evangeline Lilly as Hope Van Dyne, daughter of Hank Pym.

The first Ant-Man comic was published in 1962.
Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, con-man Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.

I love Paul Rudd! I am so excited to hear this. I am definitley seeing it when it comes out!
What?! I never thought of him as being any type of a super hero. He's always the funny guy! Awesome! I'm gonna love this!
Me too! I love when they pick someone that you don't think of. Now all I need is for John Cusack to be in a super hero movie as either the hero or a villain, and my life will be complete.
I loved Evangeline Lilly in Lost!
Can't wait to see this movie! I love Paul Rudd!
This sounds like it is going to be a great movie. I will have to keep my eye out for it.
It is fun to look at the people who create the art we enjoy and see the creation before it is complete.
wow I would not imagine Paul Rudd in this role. He is always the good guy in a romatic comedy.
I can't wait for this movie!
No I am not familiar with him, I have never heard of him. Sounds like a movie my husband would enjoy.
You have never heard of Paul Rudd? Girl, you are missing out. ;)
Saw this yesterday and I'm so looking forward to the movie. He's actually a pretty good actor so I hope he does it justice.
