Here's our first bit of
Ant-Man casting since
Yes Man director Peyton Reed took the reigns on the troubled Marvel flick. We'd thought all of the actors were in place, but now Deadline report that David Dastmalchian has signed on to play an "unspecified role", which Marvel is said to be keeping under wraps. Of course it could just be a minor role, but if there's secrecy around it there's also a good chance that he'll be playing an established Marvel character. Any ideas? Dastmalchian has also appeared in the multiple-award winning psychological thriller
The Employer, Sushi Girl and
Prisoners. He was most recently seen on the FX comedy
The League, and Showtime's
Ray Donovan.
Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, con-man Scott Lang must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, 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.
Ant-Man also stars Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas, Evangeline Lilly, Corey Stoll, Michael Pena and Patrick Wilson, and will release July 17, 2015.
