First Trailer For Marvel's ANT-MAN And A Bunch Of Screen Grabs

Marvel's trailer for Ant-Man is somber and taking a bit of a tone to Christopher Nolan's Batman trailers but at the same time still in on the joke. Having Paul Rudd's Scott Lang asking if he could change the name of the hero. It's a decent enough teaser considering they only recently wrapped production and the film won't be out for another seven months. We're luckily enough to see some of the ant point-of-view shots from the Comic-Con footage included.

Oddly, we don't see any footage from the 60s flashbacks which will have a young Hank working for SHIELD. Peggy Carter and Howard Stark being involved with those scenes, will further link Ant-Man and Wasp to the origins of both SHIELD and AVENGERS.

Below is a bunch of shots from the trailer as well.

Marvel Casts KICK-ASS Actress Lyndsy Fonesca For AGENT CARTER

Marvel has announced another film to television addition to their growing Agent Carter cast. They've added Kick-Ass and Hot Tub Time Machine actress Lyndsy Fonesca to the main lineup as Angie Martinelli. Fonesca is no stranger to holding a weapon being apart of the action series Nikita. The show is actually casting many actors from the movies, which is sort of smart on their part. Considering what happened with Agents of SHEILD getting unknowns for roles didn't exactly help ratings. It's nice to see Marvel hiring another actress with action and weapons experience. However, she'll be playing a waitress and aspiring actress.

Marvel Confirms Shea Whigham For Lead Role In AGENT CARTER

Marvel has confirmed that character actor Shea Whigham has joined the cast of Marvel's Agent Carter on ABC. The role is that of SSR Chief Roger Dooley, a major part for the actor and the show. His time with Boardwalk Empire is over, as the series is wrapping-up with the final season currently airing. Other impressive credits include True Detective, Silver Linings Playbook, Wolf of Wall Street, American Hustle and Knight of Cups. Shea doesn't shy away from genre roles either being apart of Machete, Fast And Furious, Non-Stop and Savages.

This addition certainly overshadows what ever is going on with Agents of SHIELD, and will likely become a series with some very high expectations.

James D'Arcy Added To The Cast Of Marvel's AGENT CARTER As Original Jarvis

Variety reports that British actor James D'Arcy (Jupiter Ascending, Cloud Atlas, Survivor) has joined the cast of Marvel's Agent Carter. He'll be playing the role of Edwin Jarvis, butler to Howard Stark and ally to Peggy Carter. This would seemingly confirm that Howard is indeed going to be involved in the series, but we haven't heard if Dominic Cooper is reprising the role. However, Marvel has spent a lot of effort to setup the fact that Stark was an integral part of founding SHIELD.

This is just another hint to the level of talented casting Marvel is aiming for with the new series. In my opinion, a giant set-up from the original casting of Agents of SHIELD. Hiring legitimate and current film actors for key roles will only help keep to standards of the Marvel cinematic universe. The first episodes of Agent Carter will start airing on ABC during the mid-season hiatus for Agents of SHIELD.
