Patrick Wilson: From Watchmen to Ant-Man

Watchmen’s Nite Owl himself, Patrick Wilson, is poised to return to the realm of superheroes in Marvel’s Ant-Man.

The Wrap reports that the actor is in talks to join Edgar Wright’s diminutive superhero saga, which already has Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas set to star as Ant-Man… and Ant-Man (a.k.a. Scott Lang and Hank Pym).

Comics History 101: Who Is Ant-Man?

There’s no word on who Wilson might playing, though the idea of him filling the shoes of the third Ant-Man from the comics -- Eric O’Grady -- is appealing, if unlikely. Marvel reportedly has been looking for “another charismatic leading man.” I guess that narrows it down.

Michael Pena and Evangeline Lilly are also said to be up for roles in the film. Ant-Man will be released in July of 2015.
