Paul Rudd and Rashida Jones close to Ant-Man deal
While Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige revealed that casting of the hotly anticipated Ant-Man film would come before the end of the year, it has been alleged that Paul Rudd and Rashida Jones are close to signing a deal for the superhero adaptation.
Earlier this month it was reported that Rudd and Joseph Gordon-Levitt were the frontrunners for the role of Hank Pym in the Edgar Wright directed film and a source claims that Rudd is close to a deal and according to Schmoes Know, Jones may play Janet van Dyne.
Rudd can currently be seen in David Gordon Green's Prince Avalanche and returns to cinemas alongside Will Ferrell and Steve Carell in Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues on December 20, whilst Jones is currently finishing up her final season on NBC's Parks and Recreation.
