PAUL RUDD SET TO STAR IN MARVEL'S “ANT-MAN”
Marvel Studios online release
Marvel
Studio's "Ant-Man" has found its hero in Paul Rudd, who will star in
the new film from director Edgar Wright hitting theaters July 31, 2015!
The
casting of Rudd represents the actor that Marvel and Wright had long ago
identified as its first choice to play Ant-Man, continuing the studio's desire
to cast actors that bring several dimensions to its onscreen heroes. The film's
plot is being kept under wraps.
"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," said Marvel's Kevin Feige. "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."
Rudd
brings a diverse background to the role having become one of the industry's
most known actors with a reputation for smart, funny and creative performances.
Rudd can currently be seen in "Anchor Man 2: The Legend Continues,"
as well as past roles in "Anchorman," "This Is 40," "I
Love You, Man," "Role Models," "Forgetting Sarah
Marshall," "Our Idiot Brother," "Knocked Up," and
"The 40-Year-Old Virgin" among numerous other films, television shows
and primetime animation.
