Comic-Con: Patrick Wilson Exits 'Ant-Man'; Four Major Female Roles in 'Avengers: Age of Ultron'



Comic-Con is in full swing and of course most of the questions making their way throughout have to do with Marvel, specifically Ant-Man and Avengers: Age of Ultron. Both have a lot of question marks surroundings them right now, and even when we get answers they only lead to more questions.

First up, Deadline reports the Ant-Man has gone a bit of a shift with the loss of Patrick Wilson. He's had to split due to scheduling conflicts, and it's not like we really knew his role, anyway. But at least he left of his own accord and not like supporting players Matt Gerard and Kevin Weisman, who had their characters written out in the most recent script. The Ant-Man cast is expected to be on hand tomorrow so we should learn more then. The film opens July 17th 205.


A recurring Marvel demand from fans is for one of their female heroes to get a solo film, with many thinking Black Widow is the most likely choice. But there are plenty of kick ass females to be found Avengers: Age of Ultron besides her. In fact, Joss Whedon told HeyUGuys there were four prominent female roles in the film. So who do we think they are? Obviously, Black Widow is one. Scarlet Witch would be another. Maria Hill? Is she going to be that much of a fixture with SHIELD basically disbanded? Okay, so who is the fourth? Janet van Dyne aka the Wasp? Ms. Marvel? Or is there someone else we don't know about yet? Your guess is as good as mine.
