Though he lost out on a role to Michael Pena, actor Clifton Collins, Jr. still has a part in Edgar Wright's superhero film "Ant-Man" for Marvel says Latino Review.
The "Pacific Rim" and "Star Trek" actor, did a cameo as a vegan police officer in Wright's "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World," and has reportedly
been cast in a unspecified role. Pena's role is thought to be that
of a tough Latino character who has a lot of physical action scenes in
the movie
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
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
