The cast of Edgar Wright’s Ant-Man continues to grow today as House of Cards star Corey Stoll is apparently in talks to join. Marvel’s upcoming phase 3 film already stars Michael Pena, Evangeline Lilly, Patrick Wilson, Michael Douglas and Paul Rudd, so adding Stoll onto that roster would make for one very impressive cast.
The Wrap is reporting that while the actor is likely to join, there’s no concrete info on which role he would tackle. I imagine it won’t be a huge part but still, Stoll’s a great actor and just to see him show up here, in any capacity, will be a real treat. Personally, I’d love for him to take a villainous role but we’ll just have to wait and see how he factors into what is looking to be a pretty exciting film.
As for story details, those are tightly under wraps, too. We still have no clue how Ant-Man will tie into Marvel’s ever-expanding universe, or what the titular hero will be up to, but under Wright’s energetic and stylish direction, you can be sure that it will make for one heck of an enjoyable ride.
Ant-Man crawls into theatres on July 17th, 2015.
