San Diego Comic-Con News: At Comic-Con on Saturday Marvel Studios announced that Evangeline Lily was joining the cast of Ant-Man as Hope Pym the daughter of Hank Pym (played in the film by Michael Douglas) and Corey Stoll will play the “cunning and sympathetic” villain Darren Cross (Yellowjacket).
In spite of the fact that Ant-Man goes into production next month under the direction of Peyton Reed, who replaced Edgar Wright (see "New Writer, Director on 'Ant-Man'"), Marvel showed off a pretty polished looking clip in which Paul Rudd (playing Scott Lang) jumps on a flying queen ant while Hank Pym’s voice is heard telling Scott how to control his ride. Was this footage shot or supervised by Wright, or was it something put together as a test of the film’s special effects?
