Founding Avenger and Ultron creator will not appear in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Director Joss Whedon will develop a new origin for the evil artificial intelligence but Hank Pym will get his big screen moment.
io9 reports that director Edgar Wright will include Hank Pym in his Ant-Man film. Hank Pym, Scott Lang and Eric O’Grady have all worn the tiny helmet in the comic books.
After events of the Age of Ultron comic book series Hank Pym is leading a new team of cyborgs and robots in Avengers A.I. by Sam Humphries. Scott Lang is currently wearing the Ant-Man gear in FF (the replacement Fantastic Four) by Matt Fraction. O’Grady has been a member of the Secret Avengers and Thunderbolts.
Ant-Man is scheduled to open in 2015 after the Avengers sequel.
If Hank gets on screen…can we get Wasp, too?
Edgar Wright’s new film The World’s End opens in August.
