10 Marvel Characters Patrick Wilson Could Be In Ant-Man

1. Eric O'Grady/Ant-Man

Antman Two of the three Ant-Men have been cast €“ why not go for the home run and cast the third Ant-Man, Eric O'Grady? Eric was a SHIELD grunt who got hold of the Ant-Man tech and used it for his own selfish purposes. His Ant-Man series (written by Robert "Walking Dead" Kirkman) was called The Irredeemable Ant-Man for a reason: the guy was a degenerate slob! One of the first things he does when he discovers his powers is to shrink, jump into a woman's purse, and go home and watch her shower €“ oh, and that woman was Carol Danvers aka Ms Marvel! So why have Eric in this movie? As more audience members have noticed with Marvel's movies, there's a lot of humour in them than in, say, the Warner Bros. movies €“ which is to the good. And with comedy actor Paul Rudd and comedy director Edgar Wright both attached, Ant-Man could be a great superhero comedy movie. Scott Lang and Eric O'Grady €“ the hero and the anti-hero €“ could have a great antagonistic (pun not intended) relationship, plus it'd be fun to see Patrick Wilson playing a slobbish lout abusing his power-set and Paul Rudd playing the straight man for a change. Eric's Ant-Man was part of the Thunderbolts team, which would be great to see as a movie in itself €“ maybe including Eric here puts Marvel in the position to spin off into Thunderbolts territory in Phase 3 or 4? * Those are some ideas for who Patrick Wilson could play in the Ant-Man movie €“ what do think? Any of the above? None? Someone else entirely? Let us know in the comments below!
