Ant-Man: 8 Actors Who Could Play Young Hank Pym

4. Adrien Brody

Way back when Iron Man 2 was on the horizon, Adrien Brody's agent was apparently talking up his client for the lead role in Ant-Man. The actor himself has even admitted that it was a role that interested him at one point. Now that the movie is finally happening, could we see the Academy Award winner sign on to play the young Hank Pym? Brody is one of those actors who has massive respect across the film industry for his range and quality of performance, yet he is often maligned for some of the movies he chooses to take on. With the recent spate of Marvel films having garnered themselves an impressive reputation across the globe, could Brody be tempted to bring his skills to the tormented soul of Hank Pym? With the actor having shown that he's got action chops after his performance in Predators, Brody would seem like a great choice to play the young Pym.
