Adrien Brody: Ant-Man??

See? I told you Adrien Brody could be a viable action hero! Not only was he great in Predators, but it's starting to sound as if he might be donning the oversized helmet of Ant-Man for Edgar Wright's upcoming superhero flick. At least if the tweets from a couple of insiders are to be believed. First, from John Campea formerly of TheMovieBlog...

"Take this for what its worth, but I was just told Adrien Brody is most likely going to be “Ant Man” for Edgar Wright."

Latino Review's El Miambe quickly chimed in with an update of his own....

"I personally checked w/my pals at Paradigm (Adrien Brody’s agency) & at press time, YES they were pursing Ant Man but got nothing yet."

Not only would this be an inspired choice for the part, but whoever does snag the role will obviously have a part in The Avenger as well. The hope is that we'll get a look at the entire line-up for The Avengers at Comic-Con. Imagine having Robert Downey Jr, Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johannson, Mark Ruffalo, and now Adrien Brody all up on stage together. How sick would that be?
