ANTMAN Wraps Principle Photography And Concept Artwork For Villain Yellow Jacket

Director Peyton Reed has taken to Twitter to confirm that principle photography on Marvel's Ant-Man has wrapped. The heist film will be released on July 17th, 2015, which was originally the spot reserved for Batman v Superman before moving to 2016.. The cast includes Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas, Evangeline Lily, Corey Stoll (seen above), Michael Pena, Judy Greer, John Slattery, Bobby Cannavale, T.I. and Hayley Atwell.

Edgar Wright, who was set to write and direct the film controversially exited the film, and had his script he co-wrote with Joe Cornish completely rewritten by Adam McKay, Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari. Peyton Reed was hired to replace Wright and was able to pull everything together to make it work. A trailer should be expected for the Super Bowl, as Marvel will need to make audiences aware of the extremely obscure Marvel hero early-on.

There are also images of concept art (could also be art from the Hasbro line of toys) of the film's villain Yellow Jacket (Corey Stoll) making the rounds online. Below you can see these images which look extremely similar to style used for Ant-Man's concept art poster from SDCC14. Along with a shot of Paul Rudd from recent pick-up shots.

Marvel Announces New Cast For ANT-MAN, Will Howard Stark And 1960's S.H.I.E.L.D. Play A Role?

Marvel has announced that cameras has begun to roll-on Ant-Man in San Francisco, which is directed by Payton Reed. Our primary cast consists of Paul Rudd as Scott Lang, Michael Douglas as Dr. Hank Pym, Evangeline Lily as Hope Van Dyne (daughter of Pym) and Corey Stoll as the main villain Darren Cross aka Yellow Jacket.

The new additions mentioned in the press release include Michael Pena (finally confirmed by Marvel), Bobby Cannavale (Boardwalk Empire, Blue Jasmine), Judy Greer (Archer, Descendants, Jurassic World, Dawn of The Planet of The Apes), John Slatterty, David Dastmalchian (The Dark Knight, Prisoners), Abby Ryder Fortson, Gregg Turkington, and for some reason rapper T.I. (Takers).

John Slattery's (Mad Men) addition might be the confirmation we've been waiting for, as he played the original 60's version of Howard Stark in Iron Man 2. Bringing him back, gives us the impression that S.H.I.E.L.D. and Howard Stark will indeed play a role in the film. It's unknown what the actual timeline of the film will be, but it's expected we would see a younger version of Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) kicking-ass as Ant-Man in the 1960s, possibly for S.H.I.E.L.D. We've been hearing that the rewrites were happening to include Pym's connection to S.H.I.E.L.D. and place Ant-Man into the greater lineage of the MCU.

There is talk from BadassDigest that Judy Greer  will play the ex-wife of Lang (Rudd) and Bobby Cannavale might be replacing Patrick Wilson as her new husband, a cop that also arrested Lang. I have to assume that child-actor Abby Ryder Fortson will be playing Cassie Lang, the daughter of Scott. Cassie had been rumored since Edgar Wright's involvement, and seems to be a role that could develop in the future.

Judy Greer Nabs Another Cool Role With JURASSIC WORLD

Jurassic World is quite finished casting roles, as TheWrap reports that funny lady Judy Greer has joined the production. Greer recently took a action-heavy part in Dawn of The Planet of The Apes, playing motion-capture ape Cornelia (an homage to Cornelius). It's possible she might not be on the sidelines, as it's expected a bunch of the human characters will be running for their lives by the second act (as per usual with Jurassic Park films).

The rest of the cast includes Chris Pratt (Her, Wanted, Guardians of The Galaxy), Bryce Dallas Howard (Terminator Salvation, Spider-Man 3, 50/50), Nick Robinson (Kings of Summer), Ty Simpkins (Insidious 1-2, Iron Man 3), Jake Johnson (New Girl) , Irrfan Khan (Amazing Spider-Man, Slumdog Millionaire, Life of Pi), B.D. Wong (Jurassic Park) and Vincent D'Onofrio (Full Metal Jacket, Men In Black). The production is already underway, taking place in Hawaii and Louisiana, with the release date set for June 12th, 2015.

Judy Greer Will Play Female Chimp Cornelia In DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES

Vulture reports that comedic actress Judy Greer (Arrested Development, The Descendants)  has joined the cast of Dawn of The Planet of The Apes. Judy will play female chimp Cornelia (a nudge to Cornelius obviously) via motion capture. Who might end up the love interest to Caesar (Andy Serkis), I assume both will be speaking in full sentences in the film.
