According to The Wrap, Corey Stoll is in early talks to join the cast of Ant-Man. Unfortunately, there's currently no word on who the House of Cards star will be playing, so for now, we'll just have to speculate! Regardless, he's a great addition to an already impressive cast which includes Paul Rudd (Anchorman), Michael Douglas (The Game), and Evangeline Lilly (The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug). Michael Pena (End of Watch) and Patrick Wilson (Watchmen) are also in talks. Ant-Man is set to be released on July 31st, 2015.

Congrats to @KrollJVar on breaking the EVANGELINE LILLY/ANT-MAN news. I'll admit, I was skeptical at first, but he was right. Props are due!

Hell yeah, one of the best things in season 1 that was clearly missing in season 2: a character that we can sympathize with. Can't wait to see him on FX's THE STRAIN too with that Christian Slater-looking haircut

BatmanHeisenberg - 3/24/2014, 6:06 PM

I love HoC. I am currently watching it at this moment in time!

Destined - 3/24/2014, 6:06 PM

Sounds good to me!

Starfox - 3/24/2014, 6:06 PM

He was great in Non-Stop.

Interestein - 3/24/2014, 6:07 PM

He's our Egghead...

Interestein - 3/24/2014, 6:07 PM

I LOVE IT

TheManFromMars - 3/24/2014, 6:10 PM

Never heard of him but any Ant-Man news is exciting for me.

DynamicDynamo - 3/24/2014, 6:15 PM

William Cross?

BatmanHeisenberg - 3/24/2014, 6:24 PM

Egghead? GENIUS CASTING BY INTRESTEIN!!!!!

ThedamnBatman - 3/24/2014, 6:24 PM

Yep, that's nice, he was good in house of cards

BatmanHeisenberg - 3/24/2014, 6:25 PM

It's humor, Merc. Lighten up.

BatmanHeisenberg - 3/24/2014, 6:25 PM

RIGHT NUKEM?!

TucksFrom2015 - 3/24/2014, 6:26 PM

Evangeline Lily rumors coincided with the theatrical release of Hobbit 2.
I wouldn't still report her name in the mix long after the hype has died down

SuperCat - 3/24/2014, 6:27 PM

Never seen "House of Cards." Heard it's a good show.

BatmanHeisenberg - 3/24/2014, 6:29 PM

I am currently on season 2 nukem, but I accidentally read the spoilers for the rest of the season. Oh well, I did the same when the first four seasons were out and I had started watching it at the time.

BatmanHeisenberg - 3/24/2014, 6:30 PM

It is SuperCat, so watch it.

CherryBomb - 3/24/2014, 6:31 PM

Oh yes please! He is fantastic on that show.

CaptainAmerica31 - 3/24/2014, 6:33 PM

[frick] yes, or his will be the best Marvel studios movie to date. Great cast, great director

BatmanHeisenberg - 3/24/2014, 6:36 PM

*WAS

NOT is.

TheAbomination - 3/24/2014, 6:42 PM

Lilly playing Jane?

Kyos - 3/24/2014, 6:42 PM

I actually only clicked on this article because I was confused about probably having missed an official announcement of Evengeline Lilly being in this movie. Seems like there was none?!

(-_-)'

BatmanHeisenberg - 3/24/2014, 6:43 PM

Did you read my Batman vs Heisenerg fan-fic duke?

third3ye - 3/24/2014, 6:44 PM

As long as it ain't Kate Mara.

TheFlash18 - 3/24/2014, 6:44 PM

Well there you go everyone

SuperCat - 3/24/2014, 6:44 PM

Guess I wouldn't mind her as Wasp.

Kyos - 3/24/2014, 6:45 PM

Huh, surprise update!

MrCBM56 - 3/24/2014, 6:46 PM

So she's confirmed. I dig it. The best casting so far.
