For months, Paul Rudd was linked to the role, as well as Simon Pegg and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Pegg was rumored to be Ant-Man, when he visited the offices of Marvel and took a photo next to the character. Joseph Gordon-Levitt has now gone on to be another speculative comic book character, in DC's Sandman.
Now, only time will tell which character of Ant-Man will be in the film. While Hank Pym is the original character, the supposed script has both Pym and Scott Lang, a thief who stole Pym's helmet to become the second Ant-Man in 1979.
