ANT-MAN!!! Upcoming Marvel Movie

Saturday, July 28, 2012
COMING SOON


Ant-Man........One of the missing Avengers from the movie. I'm a bit sceptical of Antman as I can't say i was as bigger fan of his comic book as I was with the other Avengers but admittedly I am excited to see what Marvel Studios will do with the character in his own solo feature movie.
Most other Marvel upcoming titles are sequels so we'll need to examine Ant-Man a bit more closely.


Let's see what Wikipedia has to say shall we


Over the years a variety of characters have assumed the title of Ant-Man, most of whom have been connected with the Avengers.

Henry Pym

Biophysicist and Security Operations Center expert Dr. Henry 'Hank' Pym decided to become a superhero after discovering a chemical substance that would allow the user to alter his size. Armed with a helmet that could control ants, Pym would shrink down to the size of an insect to become the mystery-solving Ant-Man.[1] He soon shared his discovery with his girlfriend, Janet Van Dyne, who became his crime-fighting partner as the Wasp. The duo would become founding members of the Avengers, fighting recurring enemies such as the mad scientist Egghead, the mutant Whirlwind, and Pym's own robotic creation Ultron.
While Pym is the original Ant-Man, he has adopted other aliases over the years including Giant-Man, Goliath, Yellowjacket,[2] and the Wasp after Janet's death in Secret Invasion.[4] Leaving his original persona vacant, his successors have taken up the role of Ant-Man while Pym explored these other identities.

Scott Lang

Scott Lang was a thief who first became Ant-Man after stealing Henry Pym's Ant-Man suit to save his daughter Cassie from a heart condition. Reforming from his life of crime, he soon took on a full-time career as Ant-Man with the encouragement of Hank Pym. He became an affiliate of the Fantastic Four.] and most recently became a full-time member of the Avengers. For a period of time he dated Jessica Jones. He was later killed by the Scarlet Witch along with Vision and Hawkeye in Avengers Disassembled, but his daughter, Cassie, has taken up his heroic mantle as Stature, in the pages of Young Avengers. He has returned in 2011 in the pages of the mini series known as The Children's Crusade, but soon loses his daughter when she heroically sacrifices herself to stop a super charged Doctor Doom.


Eric O'Grady
Eric O'Grady is the third character to take up the title of Ant-Man. Eric O'Grady is a low-level agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. who stumbled upon the Ant-Man suit in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s headquarters. A man of few morals and willing to lie, cheat, steal, and manipulate in order to get ahead in life, Eric stole the armor for his own selfish plans, which included using his status as a "super-hero" to seduce women[and humiliate and torment others. He had his own short-lived title before being shuttled off, first to the pages of Avengers: The Initiative and then The Thunderbolts and most currently Secret Avengers.

DIRECTOR
Edgars Wright ( Shaun of The Dead )

Only time will tell regarding the Ant-Man movie so fingers crossed that Marvel studios will deliver the same magic with Ant-Man as they've done with so many of their other heroes on the big screen.....
