"Well, It's all just kind of starting, so it's really cool," Paul Rudd told
Flicks And The City about playing Scott Lang in Marvel's
Ant-Man.
"I'm very excited about it. I read some comics and seen some [Marvel] movies and I knew Edgar Wright for many years. The whole thing that it's actually happened, that I got the part is still kind of surreal. It's still sinking in over these last several months," the comedian-actor added, indicating that he was certainly fibbing when he told reporters last month that his involvement was but a rumor. Moving along, when asked how much comedy will he bring to the titular role, Rudd insisted,
"We'll see what Edgar has in mind. We haven't started shooting any of it yet." As for his
Ant-Man co-star, Michael Dougles, who's playing Hank Pym, Rudd kept it short and sweet:
"It's a thrill, He's amazing! Lastly,
Flicks And The City slyly asked Rudd how psyched he is to be working again with Rashida Jones, who's rumored to nab the lead female role in
Ant-Man.
"I follow what comes out online and even then I don't quite follow," he replied with a big grin.
"I let those powers at be announce what they want to announce when they announce it. A lot of that stuff you hear is not true." What do you think?
Anyhow,
Ant-Man stars Paul Rudd & Michael Douglas, with Michael Pena & Clifton Collins Jr. rumored for roles. Directed by Edgar Wright from his screenplay, which he co-wrote with Joe Cornish, the film is scheduled for a May shoot in and around Georgia, and releases July 17, 2015.
