Paul Rudd is almost definitely, probably Ant-Man

Anyway, Rudd’s easygoing comic sensibility makes him a natural fit for a character who needs to be able to laugh off just those kinds of barbs from his fellow superheroes—like, that’s cool; can you talk to ants? Though, it’s unclear as yet exactly who that character will be: The Wrap believes it’s definitely original Ant-Man Hank Pym, who also has the power to transform into a giant dick, man. But Variety hints that it’s still possible, if not probable, that he could play Scott Lang, as Edgar Wright (who co-wrote the screenplay with Joe Cornish) has hinted that the story also includes the burglar who swipes Pym’s technology and becomes the latter-day Ant-Man, one with the new, improved superpower of not beating up wives.

No one involved with the production has yet offered comment on that—or even an official confirmation of Rudd’s casting. However, The Wrap tellingly notes that “Rudd has appeared noticeably slimmer” of late, so clearly he must be preparing for the role by slowly shrinking himself down.
