Is Adrien Brody about to be announced as ANT-MAN?

By Matt Holmes / June 25, 2011

Take this for what's it worth but both John Campea (former Movie Blog owner, now at AMC) and Latino Review have heard that Adrien Brody could be closing in on a deal with Marvel that would see him portray Ant-Man for Edgar Wright, and presumably The Avengers. Campea said;

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

LR followed up;

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.

The movie will be Edgar Wright's next post-Scott Pilgrim, and last month we heard he was gearing up to work on a second draft with same 'level of comedy that IRON MAN has.' We already know that Marvel want a full Avengers cast unveiling at Comic Con this week but we're aren't completely sure whether Ant-Man will be in Joss Whedon's team-up movie, so maybe that the looming deadline has no meaning here? I didn't catch Predators... but has Brody's tentpole acting improved since King Kong??
