Paul Rudd is Ant-Man

The Marvel Cinematic Universe or MCU just got bigger (or smaller) with the announcement that actor Paul Rudd has been officially cast as one of the two Ant-Man characters for the Edgar Wright adaptation for Marvel Studios.

Yeah, it's an AN because there are plans to have two Ant-Man guys in the film. One would be the original Ant-Man and Avengers founding member Hank Pym and the other is the con-man turned good guy Scott Lang. 

The Superherohype news did not mention which character Rudd would portray but I'm going ahead on predicting that Rudd would taking the Scott Lang role, should they decide to go with that original plot of having two Ant-Man stories in one movie. 

Update: While Rudd's announcement as Ant-Man is big news, we shouldn't factor out Joseph Gordon-Levitt yet. However the dude is busy with his Sandman adaptation with David S. Goyer for WB.
