In the comics, Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) is a scientist who invents a substance that allows him to change his size. Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) steals the original Ant-Man Pym's equipment and uses it to commit crimes but ultimately becomes a hero.
Pena's role is thought to be that of a tough Latino character who has a lot of physical action scenes in the movie
Not yet confirmed are rumors that Rashida Jones and Bryce Dallas Howard are up for the female lead, though no one has officially been offered the part.
Rudd and Joseph Gordon-Levitt were both considered for the Lang role, but the latter is now doing an adaptation of author Neil Gaiman's popular comic book series Sandman, with "Man Of Steel" writer David S. Goyer. Rudd is considered a more natural fit by the suits.
Wright and Joe Cornish co-wrote the script.
Production on the film is due to begin shortly in Georgia. Marvel pegged the release date for July 31, 2015
Meanwhile, Douglas recently explained to Reuters why he decided to do the project:
"I've been dying to do a Marvel picture for so long. The script is really fun, the director is really good. Dylan [the actor's 13-year-old son] will love it. He'll have a picture he can see."
He adds that he was glad the news came as a surprise to folks: "Sometimes - like they didn't see you for Liberace- you've got to shake them up a little bit and have some fun."
