Ant-Man has had very public, very messy controversial changes over the last few months, but is on the fast track for its July 17, 2015 release date and now officially in production. The film began shooting in San Francisco this week, and with it came a handful of new cast members. John Slattery (Mad Men), Bobby Carnavale (Boardwalk Empire, Chef), Judy Greer (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Arrested Development), rapper T.I., and comedian Gregg Turkington have joined the film in supporting roles. No details were given about their roles, though Slattery's is pretty obvious. Ant-Man won't be his first foray into the Marvel Universe, as he played Howard Stark in archival video footage in Iron Man 2. As the film will likely feature flashbacks depicting Hank Pym's (Michael Douglas) time as the original Ant-Man, it's easy to see that Slattery's Stark could make a cameo or have a small role.
