Ant-Man: 10 Potential Roles For Corey Stoll

1. Eric O'Grady, The Irredeemable Ant-Man

Who? The most recently created and probably least well-known Ant-Man, Eric O'Grady started out as a low-level SHIELD agent who stumbled across old Ant-Man technology and decided to use it for his own personal gain, watching women take showers and stealing anything he can get his hands on. Though the character had somewhat looser morals than we've come to expect from superheroes, O'Grady did have a strong desire to be accepted by others and eventually began fighting for the side of good in titles like Thunderbolts and Secret Avengers, though not before hastily bedding and abandoning as many women as he could and betraying a substantial number of friends and former colleagues. Why Stoll Could Play Him: Probably the longest shot €“ this movie already has two lead characters most people haven't the foggiest clue about €“ but potentially the most rewarding, Stoll as O'Grady's Ant-Man could bring endless comic possibilities with him along with a common struggle for Lang and Pym to come together against. It could also mean a superhero movie on a much (excuse the pun) smaller scale, both physically and scope-wise as the three Ant-Men battle it out in the fibres of carpets and inside the plumbing of a penthouse suite... How did we do? Did we miss any Marvel characters that Stoll would be better suited to playing? Let us know!
