Marvel's 'Ant-Man' Eyes 'House Of Cards' Star

Corey Stoll is in early talks to join Marvel's big-screen take on the small-sized superhero.

 

Marvel Studios and director Edgar Wright's "Ant-Man" adaptation continues shaping up, with a new name added to the mix: Corey Stoll.

Stoll, best known for his starring turn on Netflix's "House of Cards," is in early talks to join the cast of "Ant-Man." The Wrap first reported the news, but has no further details on who Stoll might be playing. For all we know, he's playing Ant-Man; after all, there are already two Ant-Men in the mix, with Paul Rudd playing Scott Lang and Michael Douglas on board as Hank Pym. What's one more Ant-Man between friends?

In all likelihood, Stoll isn't playing a third Ant-Man. Perhaps he's a villain, or perhaps he's a scientist who works on Pym's staff. Perhaps he's someone else entirely. Either way, Stoll is a fantastic addition to what's shaping up to be a fantastic cast. Rudd and Douglas are the only announced "Ant-Man" actors, but other rumored names include "Lost" and "The Hobbit" star Evangeline Lilly, "End of Watch" actor Michael Pena, and "Watchmen" superhero Patrick Wilson.

"Ant-Man" is an important next step for the Marvel movies. It's the first film on the schedule following "The Avengers: Age of Ultron," signaling the beginning of Marvel Phase Three. Even with three movies still to be released as part of Marvel's second phase (next month's "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," August's "Guardians of the Galaxy" and May 2015's "Avengers" sequel), fans are already wondering what the third phase of Marvel superhero films will look like. Speculation ranges from "Captain America" and "Thor" sequels to brand-new fare like "Doctor Strange" and "Ms. Marvel."

At the moment, "Ant-Man" is the only Phase Three film we're completely sure about. At the moment, that's all we need.

"Ant-Man" hits theaters on July 17, 2015.

Marvel Comics unveiling digital timeline for 75-year anniversary

Marvel Comics unveiling digital timeline for 75-year anniversary

From the Golden Age Toro to Ultimate Human Torch, characters sprung from Marvel Entertainment are as varied as the people who read, watch, listen and even play them in video games.

The publisher of Marvel Comics is focusing on its panoply of characters, enlisting writers, artists, editors and historians to build a sprawling digital and interactive timeline that showcases the famous, the infamous and the obscure heroes, villains and others.

The endeavor is part of Marvel's celebration of its 75th anniversary, said editor-in-chief Axel Alonso, and to make people aware of more than marquee names like Captain America or Spider-Man.
"We want it to be as friendly to people who come out of the Cineplex to people who have long boxes in their basement," he said this week of the site at www.marvel.com/75. "It's time for us to underline that and show our rich history."

The site, which goes live in April, features interactive timelines, interviews with classic writers and artists — including Stan Lee and Roy Thomas — along with contemporary ones like Dan Slott, Kelly Sue DeConnick and Brian Michael Bendis, among others.

Captain America's Sebastian Stan: 'Marvel will beat DC in 2016 clash'

Captain America's Sebastian Stan: 'Marvel will beat DC in 2016 clash'

Captain America franchise star Sebastian Stan has weighed in on the third film's purported box office battle with the Batman vs Superman movie.

It was reported last week that the biggest-ever box office competition between Marvel and DC will happen on May 6, 2016, when Captain America 3 and Batman vs Superman both open.

Stan - who has a nine-picture Marvel contract to play The Winter Soldier - was recently asked to predict the winner of Marvel and DC's opposing releases.

"All you have to do to know the answer to that question is look at the track record of Marvel versus DC," he replied to Access Hollywood.

The star continued: "[Look at] Green Lantern! I'm biased. I'm on [the Marvel] side…. I'm with [directors] the [Russo] brothers. They made a great film.

Just like that, as quickly as badges for the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con International went on sale Saturday morning, they sold out, event organizers confirmed.

According to David Glanzer, director of marketing and public relations for Comic-Con, this summer’s comic book and pop culture event is now completely sold out. As in previous years, Glanzer said organizers put a cap at 130,000 attendees -- which includes fans, vendors, volunteers and organizers.
