Paul Rudd Is Ant-Man, Marvel Confirms

Briefly: We learned only yesterday that Paul Rudd had entered negotiations with Marvel to play Ant-Man in the upcoming Edgar Wright film.

Now, Marvel has officially announced that Rudd has signed on for the film.

In a post of Marvel.com, producer Kevin Feige stated that “When Edgar Wright came to us with the idea of Paul Rudd, we felt a huge sense of relief because the first step in creating any Marvel Studios film is finding the right star. We knew early on that we had found the right person in Paul. When he not only agreed to do it but became as enthusiastic as any actor we’d ever met with about doing the work, we knew we’d found the right guy. We couldn’t be more excited for our audiences to see what he’s going to do to bring Ant-Man to life.”

Ant-Man hits theatres on July 31st, 2015. Do you think that Rudd is the right choice for the part? Or would you rather have seen another actor in the role? Sound out below!
