Hank Pym was a founding Avenger and the first hero to hold the mantle of Ant-Man before moving on to other personas such as Giant-Man and Yellowjacket. Scott Lang stole the uniform to save his daughter and became an Avenger before dying during the events of Avengers: Disassembled (he recently returned in (Avengers: The Children's Crusade). Eric O'Grady was an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. who also stole the Ant-Man costume and used it to stalk women and steal; however, he later became a hero and member of the Secret Avengers. All three of the characters have interesting stories, but which would you most like to see in Edgar Wright's Ant-Man?

	marvel72 - 7/19/2012, 1:35 PM Login to report abuse hank pym would be the best choice,hank pym leads to ultron,ultron leads to the vision. hank pym all the way.
	Nubase - 7/19/2012, 1:44 PM Login to report abuse just as long he looks exactly like he does in the comic books it does not matter Must not dissapoint the marvel fans
	Deadpool101 - 7/19/2012, 1:45 PM Login to report abuse I have to say I love the modern costume the best, But I want Pym
	Supes17 - 7/19/2012, 1:46 PM Login to report abuse There was more than 1 Ant Man? :P
	Tanngnjostr - 7/19/2012, 1:49 PM Login to report abuse Hank Pym FTW, other options would be senseless.
	Kingdork - 7/19/2012, 1:49 PM Login to report abuse I voted for Eric O'Grady. Just coz I'm a rebel and a bit of a badass.
	Gromblidor - 7/19/2012, 1:51 PM Login to report abuse Henry Pym-Matt Damon.
	ralfinader - 7/19/2012, 1:53 PM Login to report abuse @Nubase - You are correct. They should hire Tom Hardy and save millions in special effects.
	souhunter - 7/19/2012, 1:55 PM Login to report abuse Pym
	lunesta - 7/19/2012, 1:58 PM Login to report abuse snape kill dumbledore oh wait wrong article
	eleven59 - 7/19/2012, 1:58 PM Login to report abuse adrian brody and selma blair (per a fan made trailer on youtube)
	NorrinRaddical - 7/19/2012, 1:59 PM Login to report abuse that's actually a pretty good point Millanstar... though i imagine Marvel would keep it classic Pym though ON THE OTHER HAND... can any THOR fans let me know if there was any furor or nerd-lash over dropping the Donald Blake angle (short of a cutesy easter egg)?
	Caveboy0 - 7/19/2012, 2:05 PM Login to report abuse Pym obviously should be in the film, but can anyone explain to me how his story could possibly be interesting? I've looked up Irredeemable Ant Man and I find that waaaay more interesting than anything i know of Pym's adventures. Yes he is important for what he creates, but that doesn't' make him an interesting character.
	JredTheRed - 7/19/2012, 2:05 PM Login to report abuse Hank is really the only good choice for the first film at least. I mean how do you have Pym Particles without Hank Pym and having him could mean Ultron in the future.
	oreilly - 7/19/2012, 2:06 PM Login to report abuse @blackandyellow "Hank Pym. Chris Brown can play him." I agree and let's make Rihanna Wasp. They'll have loads of on screen chemistry together!
	Bojac - 7/19/2012, 2:10 PM Login to report abuse It's gonna be both Pym & Lang. Chill people.
	Dunejedi1 - 7/19/2012, 2:10 PM Login to report abuse Good stories have a beginning, middle and end. I've always been a "Start at the beginning" kind of guy. Pym.
	dopemaster - 7/19/2012, 2:12 PM Login to report abuse could be Benny from Item 47... SHIELD Agent known to be a thief. He could find out about the suit and steal it with Claire. That could be the 'heist' that was discussed. Plus if the Benny guy read for the role of Cap it shows that Marvel has big interest in him.
	gambgel - 7/19/2012, 2:19 PM Login to report abuse Hank Pym. actor? Patrick Wilson, as some users suggested time ago
	MyInnerDork - 7/19/2012, 2:23 PM Login to report abuse It'll be Pym without a doubt in my mind and so they can introduce Ultron.
	smgmayhem - 7/19/2012, 2:24 PM Login to report abuse They stated weeks ago that the story would involve hank pym in the 60's with scott lang taking over in present day. The way they could make it work so we can still get ultron is Lang finding the blue prints for ultron at the end of the movie and continuing what Pym started by studying his notes and research.
	BIGBMH - 7/19/2012, 2:28 PM Login to report abuse I think Pym and Lang makes sense.
	DrDoom - 7/19/2012, 2:33 PM Login to report abuse None because Ant-Man sucks.
	JatevinM - 7/19/2012, 2:39 PM Login to report abuse Still not understanding why a mediocre character with sucky powers is even getting a movie.
	GUNSMITH - 7/19/2012, 2:40 PM Login to report abuse THE RESPONSE FROM THE TEST FOOTAGE WAS HUGE. ANYONE FIND A LEAK YET??
	PeterParker1991 - 7/19/2012, 2:43 PM Login to report abuse Why do we even need an Ant-Man movie? Such a crappy character.
	IgnurRant - 7/19/2012, 2:44 PM Login to report abuse My favorite choices for Pym. Sharlto Copley Joel Edgerton David Duchovny Aaron Eckhart @Gromblidor - MattDamon is an intresting choice. Nice.
	GUNSMITH - 7/19/2012, 2:48 PM Login to report abuse FILLION.
	MitchConner - 7/19/2012, 2:49 PM Login to report abuse I really hope this movie doesn't suck...it's filling a space where a good movie could be...but I have hopes for it.
	thingrock4 - 7/19/2012, 2:49 PM Login to report abuse Hank Pym or nobody!! PYM PARTICLES,ULTRON,VISION......Scott Lang was one BORING ASS CHARACTER......
	IgnurRant - 7/19/2012, 2:49 PM Login to report abuse Dreamed up an Antman movie when i dozed. Might not even be a villian im the film. It deal with a 38-42 year old Hank frustration with being ultimately denied in the Avengers Initiative. Attempting to create Giant Man because AntMan was deemed "useless" by SHIELD. Frustration on the lack of funding for his Ultron project that Fury denied because of the ethics involved with mapping "Pym" mind onto a machine. Frustration of his lack of prestige in the science community. Frustration that Jane (wife/gf) was accepted into The Avengers but denied it becuase Hank wasn't. LOL There is a lot of frustration in the film that won't all neccesarily be solved by the end of the film. The film would channel TIH vibe of story before action and there might not even be a supervillian in the traditional sense.
	lsoshow2 - 7/19/2012, 2:50 PM Login to report abuse I like O'Grady's stories the best. He is honestly one of the few new characters in the Marvel Universe that I actually like. The only reason people even care about Pym is because he made Ultron.
	OdinsBeard - 7/19/2012, 2:51 PM Login to report abuse i voted for T'Challa.. oh wait.. i can't [frick]ing vote for [frick]ing T'challa because [frick]ing Marvel is making a god damn [frick]ing ant-man movie. ANT MAN!!! ANT!!!! the awesome news of the GOTG movie was offset by the fact they are making a movie about a man and some ANTS!!! and not the bad (period) ass (period) BLACK PANTHER. wtf Marvel!?!?!? No Black Panther? No Doctor Strange? hell even a solo Hulk movie with the leader would be better than ANT man. i'm calling it right now, Marvel's first flop will be: ANT-MAN. who's the villain going to be? Baron Bug Spray? Professor Magnifying Glass? Sargent Swatter? THE BOOT???? oh no it'll probably be someone worse..it'll probably be Whirlwind.. face meet palm.
	TheAmazingChrisReeve63 - 7/19/2012, 2:55 PM Login to report abuse Hank Pym FTW!! ;) Stay EPIC, my friends!
	BooYah - 7/19/2012, 2:58 PM Login to report abuse Has to be Hank Pym even though I like Scott Lang's back story. On another note that Ant-Man costume in the second pic would look amazing on screen!
	RedandBlue - 7/19/2012, 3:07 PM Login to report abuse If it's the first Ant-Man movie, it has to be Hank Pym. For sure...
	CloakingMaster7 - 7/19/2012, 3:17 PM Login to report abuse I'd like Hank Pym because of the scientist background and possible story arcs for villans, but I'd like the Eric O'Grady costume more than Pym's; it just looks cooler IMO.
	Bobevanz - 7/19/2012, 3:18 PM Login to report abuse It would rock socks if they went for the modern version, its so..... yes!
	DrDoom - 7/19/2012, 3:19 PM Login to report abuse You people are truly fools if you believe that Ant-Man won't flop. He'll flop on name alone. This movie must be stopped, because Ant-Man is an awful character, and you should feel bad if you like him.
	CloakingMaster7 - 7/19/2012, 3:21 PM Login to report abuse I agree with Bobevanz, that suit looks awesome
	GUNSMITH - 7/19/2012, 3:21 PM Login to report abuse HANK PYM BECAUSE I CAN PICTURE RDJ AND RUFFALO IN CHARACTER AFTER HEARING PYM BANTER AND THEN TONY WHISPERS TO BANNER "WHAT A NERD." AND THEN THEY HIGH FIVE.
	dopemaster - 7/19/2012, 3:22 PM Login to report abuse ALSO, the story Wright said he wanted to do, "To Steal an Ant-Man"... is Marvel Premiere Vol 1 #47 Am I wrong? Isn't this a little too coincidental?
	GUNSMITH - 7/19/2012, 3:23 PM Login to report abuse IT WON'T FLOP, IT'S ABOUT HOW YOU DO IT. THE BEST GUY FOR THE JOB WILL GET IT DONE PROPER, MARVEL KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
	dopemaster - 7/19/2012, 3:24 PM Login to report abuse that is- one shot film- Item 47 movie based on comic- Marvel Premiere #47
	redskull666 - 7/19/2012, 3:29 PM Login to report abuse Wheres the "screw this movie give us a real super hero" option?
	CharlesTheIncredible - 7/19/2012, 3:32 PM Login to report abuse pym...duh
	JrGreens - 7/19/2012, 3:33 PM Login to report abuse How about Armie Hammer as Hank Pym?
	AlexDeLarge87 - 7/19/2012, 3:33 PM Login to report abuse Pointless movie if its not Pym.
	DrDoom - 7/19/2012, 3:33 PM Login to report abuse @redskull666 I was wondering where the "I don't want an Ant-Man Movie" option was as well.
	OdinsBeard - 7/19/2012, 3:40 PM Login to report abuse BlackandYellow@ haha there will be many more to come in the time between now and the release of this movie. no matter how cool this movie looks, even if it ends up being totally awesome - it's still taking the place of other movies i'd rather see from Marvel. and i would have a much different opinion if this movie were titled GIANT MAN. on a serious note i voted for hank pym because... well because it's the beginning of the avengers! you gotta use pym.
