I'm guessing that means we're getting dark emo Hank Pym, with Paul Rudd being a more devil-may-care Ant-Man (Scott Lang, probably) who takes/is given the outfit and powers from Pym.

I can't say I'm a fan of the decision to make Ant Man a (iirc) 60's hero but we'll see.

A devil-may-care thief, directed by Edgar Wright seems pertty great to me.
Also, Michael Douglas is being directed by Edgar Wright for a Marvel movie. WHAT A WORLD WE LIVE IN.

It is more appropriate to spell out single-digit whole numbers. I have no idea how they'll use this cast (Michael Pena in the flick, too?), but I'm curious to see. My biggest concern is that they'll plan to have Pym play a continuing role - only to have Douglas kick it earlier than expected. |

The real question is if it's ant man, Antman, Ant Man, Ant-Man or Formicidae Man.

I'm hearing Pena is 60s era Ant-man, now.

I think he meant that someone in the movie will play a young Hank Pym in scenes set in the 60s, while Douglas will play Pym in the modern era; I've read there are going to be 3 actors playing Ant-Man so I figured Pena would be young Hank as well.
I wonder when/where they are going to place Janet.

That is not a grammar mistake, that is a fundamental misunderstanding about how the English language works. |

I know Sony has Spiderman's rights for movies, but do they hold it for TV too?

The contract details are not public, but the general comments indicate that Marvel can't do any live action with any of the licensed characters, but retains the rights to pretty much everyone for animation purposes. There was an interview a while back in which someone at Marvel (Feige?) was asked what would happen if Marvel put an entirely CGI Spider-Man into Avengers II... and his response was very much a 'no comment' - something like, "That is not going to happen." It sounded like he was passing a kidney stone while he said it. If I had to guess at the behind the scenes discussion based upon his tone, there was someone that thought they might have a leg to stand on if they tried to do it, but that it would be a declaration of war and the benefit would not be worth the war that followed. |

Tonely speaking, Captain America has the chance at being the best storytelling/themetic arc of any of the Marvel movies, for sure.

Captain America in present times has almost more potential from a story telling perspective than can be accomplished.

I saw it. At this point, I figure we're less than a decade of that being correct.

I think because its been done before a half a million times by now. Mission Impossible, Bourne Identity, and a few other men in suits chase super spy across country movies. Very familiar territory + new character = success in hollywood. |

The difference is that you can use Captain America as a prism to view patriotism/nationalism and how it's changed. The first movie definitely had that simplistic view of 50s patriotism, while this second one looks to deal with more modern issues.
Mind you, we haven't seen the movie yet, and it could be utter shit.
