Ant Man Premiere Date, Casting News, Spoilers, and other latest News: Michael Douglas now a full fledged Marvel Fan! Praises Peyton Reed and Guardians of the Galaxy
According to Michael Douglas, "He's good," said Douglas of Peyton Reed, AntMan's director. "I haven't started yet, actually - I go down tomorrow, and it's my first day. So I've met him a couple times, but he seems to be in control of this beast, this wild beast.
"Marvel has got it down to a science, pretty much, and they've got kind of a phenomenal track record."
"I love this picture they did this summer, 'Guardians of the Galaxy'," added Douglas. "It's really good! I think that's given Marvel the confidence to step out in this whole new area, so I'm looking forward to adding to it."
Recent news have indicated that the Ant Man movie cast and crew have already started filming in San Francisco. The lucky actor who got the coveted role of Ant Man is none other than comedian Paul Rudd. There were even Ant Man set photos that have gone viral in the internet to support the claim. We could already imagine how crazy the fans are going now with so much time of waiting left in their hands.
For the Ant Man movie plot, this is a story about a scientist who hired a thief to guard his size-changing technology that had later turned to become one of the greatest superheroes that is bound to defend the world from evil forces. There are some speculations whether Ant Man will be considered on the level of Iron Man, Thor and the others and if he will be an addition to the roster of heroes soon to be seen on Avengers 3. Still, the movie is expecting to attract many Marvel fans and the studio is counting on it to succeed.
Let's talk about Ant Man casting this time; on the line-up we have Michael Douglas as Dr. Hank Pym, Evangeline Lilly as Hope Van Dyne, daughter of Pym. We also have Corey Stoll as Darren Cross, the film's villain. Marvel had even released Ant Man's test footage during the Comic Con convention to further excite their adoring fans.
That's it for now, keep tuned for more updates. Ant Man premiere date is slated on July 17, 2015.
