    John Carter was not a good film. At best it was inoffensively mediocre, although I'd say it was even a little worse than that. Regularly surprised it has such a positive reputation around these parts.

    They got to make up for the bomb that was 'John Carter' ....that's in financial terms! Something like that could run rack & ruin a lesser studio.

    I dunno, I saw the footage and while yes it's just a proof of concept, my thoughts haven't changed that much; the whole thing looks so feckin' goofy and silly.

    Everyone's suspension of disbelief is different & what makes it crack varies from person to person; for me, it takes a goofy-looking superhero who can shrink and grow at will. Sure, arguably it's as believable as a norse god or raging green giant, but Ant-Man is too much for me - far too Silver-Age. Call me a party-pooper but I just think bringing all these heroes into the 'Avengers' canon might over-egg the superhero pudding.

    On the other hand, I am curious to know what Joe Cornish makes of the script (loved Attack of the Block) and Edgar Wright was practically made for directing a comic adaptation, so maybe all is not lost...

    Guardians of the Galaxy will be released before Antman; the over egging will be done at that point.

    To be fair I think Ironman and Thor are on a different level to Ant-Man. If the character cannot hold down a monthly series then chances are they should not be considered when it comes to transferring them onto the big screen.

    thats not necessairly fair.

    look at blade, he hasnt held down a series in his life, yet is argueably one of marvels most sucessful film series and led the way for xmen to be made.

    i dont expect ant man to be huge, but he could produce a very respectable preformance.

    There's a sequence of GIFs illustrating it here, which I guess is the closest you'll get to it for now...

    I think Thor will probably represent the line beyond which people won't accept silliness.

    I really though it would be breathtakingly stupid and nonsensical but it straddled the line beautifully and didn't take itself too seriously which ultimately led to it working fairly well.

    Antman sounds like a step too far. Not only does it feel like there's already an overabundance of superhero films but more importantly, I just don't think an idea this silly is likely to work.

    The name alone is probably going to be enough to put the bulk of moviegoers off. It doesn't have the same cultural relevance that Spiderman had that gave it a back door into the mainstream.

    All I want to say right now is.... Yes.

    Fillion's running out of time. He needs to be cast as a superhero soon. He's already gotten fairly chunky and, without that kinda role, I don't see that changing. Justlethimbeafuckingsuperheroforfucksake!

    Rafe Spall has worked before with Edgar Wright and now seems to be finally landing leading roles might be an option but my own personal favourite would be Devon Sawa

    Fillion is perfect for this role but he would need to hit the gym.

    Has Sawa done anything in the last 10 years? I remember he was in Final Destination and Idle Hands, and then once the shine wore off he seemed to just disappear. (On the other hand, AFAIK the shine was only there because he had name/face recognition from the Mickey Mouse Club or some such nonsense...)

    He is excellent in the tv series Nikita

    Apologies, I've never been a big fan of comics, so always get them mixed up.
