Thanks to Entertainment Weekly, we have our first officially look at Paul Rudd as Scott Lang/Ant-Man in Marvel’s upcoming Ant-Man film! I didn’t think Marvel could pull off a cool looking live action Ant-Man, and I’m so glad to report I was completely wrong on this one. Rudd looks pretty awesome, don’t you think!?! I know we were all disappointed when Edgar Wright left the project, but let’s be honest…this film is going to be so freaking good!
Can someone explain to me when Paul Rudd became a leading man in really funny comedies? I don’t know how it happened, but whatever he’s doing seems to be working. After starting his career by playing great supporting roles in really funny movies, Rudd has officially moved into the spotlight on his own since joining the Judd Apatow crew. For the bromantic comedy I Love You, Man Rudd reteams with How I Met Your Mother’s Jason Segel for the third time (the first two times happened in the Apatow produced comedies Knocked Up and Forgetting Sarah Marshall).
To The Blot this pairing seems like it would be a no brainer for any movie studio. If I Love You, Man is even half as funny as Role Models it’s going to be a big success. So far so good as the movie’s official trailer looks pretty damn funny.
I Love You, Man was written and directed by John Hamburg and also stars Andy Samberg, Jaime Pressly, Rashida Jones and JK Simmons. No release date has been announced for the film.
