With the Avengers coming out, we anticipated that it might include some of the supporting Avenger characters in lesser roles to catapult them into their own spinoff solo films to follow up the epic ensemble.
But Antman (still waiting in the hands of Edgar Wright) and the Wasp were not mentioned among their ranks.
Still, a rumour has sprung up suggesting that Whedonite alum Alan Tudyk is going to appear in a cameo in Avengers. The scene will be a stinger apparently building the Ultron android staging his own villain.
In fact another Firefly star Alan Tudyk is not only locked in for a solo film for the character, but will briefly appear in The Avengers as the character’s scientist counter part Hank Pym Along with wife and fellow super hero Janet Van Dyne (both [of] whose transformation into Ant-Man and Wasp will be shown as the after the credits scene in The Avengers).
Interestingly enough it was Ultron who created The Vision, a synthazoid that eventually joins the ranks of The Avengers. So this story could run full circle into The Avengers 2 with Antman, Wasp, Scarlet Witch and Vision involved.
While I thought that Nathan Fillion would have been the perfect blend of vulnerability and confidence to play Ant-Man, but now that I picture it, Tudyk could do that as well. We just see Tudyk playing a lot more of the vulnerable than the confident.
But this is just a blind rumour so I won’t preach it as gospel until we get something more solid on the matter.
