In a surprise announcement yesterday, Marvel officially revealed the identity of Paul Rudd's Ant-Man confirming him to be Scott Lang! Many people had assumed that Rudd would be playing the original Ant-Man, Hank Pym, but with the revelation of Rudd being Lang, where does that leave Pym in the upcoming Ant-Man film? Portrayed by Michael Douglas, that's where! I don't think anyone was expecting this, share your thoughts in the comments.

@S.h.i.e.l.d: I gave the link already. Thats who i meant that exists in the comic universe, but i feel this could be a new name for one of the Ant-man villains, but its rumor at all.
And a 15 minutes of movie might involve Hank and his pym particles, and his relationship with Shield as first ant-man. Janet will also appear as his wife, but i think it'd be a good twist if she's getting frozen, like Cap. And in modern world, with Scott, can pair up with Janet. So, we'd see Janet as Wasp in Avengers 3 possibly.

Edgar Wright mentioned that this movie will have Hank as Ant-Man in the 60's while Scott'll be Ant-Man in this age. I read that on the page for this movie.
Then isn't Lang's/Rudd's role in the film insignificant?

Only part of the film is set in the 60s... Lang is the main story.

Kind of Like, the New X-Men?

Yes. This is of course assuming that the 60s stuff is actually in the film and it isn't just stated that Pym was Ant-Man back then.

If Hank being in the 60's was tookin away from the script, Douglas being cast for portaying Pym would indicate that Henry never became Ant-Man and that Hank simply made the Ant-Suit.

MCU's version is different to earth-616. I know that both Hank pym and Wasp were young in EMH, one of marvel's good series. Although i loved to see Hank's version, this kind of twist seemed fit. About Janet, they could add twist as Janet is working for Pym and actually her wife, but she's young. And maybe Scott and Janet be couple, i know it sounds so lame, but it'd be all better than seeing an old Janet and not even wasp.

Funny thing is, Kevin said they wanna change the script to fit the modern MCU, and they're still using the same old one, Hank in past and Lang in present.
By the way, why Hank Pym, a retired hero in 60's, turns into villain ? I mean, he's Hank Pym, the scientist who created the technology aka pym particles. Then in future, he turns villain as Scott steals it from him ? This sounds wrong. To me, Whirlwind seems the most obvious choice to become the primary villain, along with Egg-head. I dont think Atlas could be in this. But, who really is Castillo ? One of the villains in past with Hank Pym, rumored to be played by that latino dude. I've never heard of him, but hopefully, both Whirlwind and Egg-head team-up seems good to me.

The only character in MARVEL COMICS named Castillo is Doctor Castillo. Doctor Castillo is medical doctor specializing in metahumans, mutants, and other superhumans and is mainly involed in X-Men related things.
i am aware, what i meant was that there is no supervillian under the name of Castillo

Hank Pym created the original ant-man suit and then passed it on to Scott Lang .

Hank Pym Actually gives Scott Lang his helmet not his suit.
