Jon Favreau Says Ant-Man Will Be in The Avengers

Source:  USA Today
Jon Favreau gave new hopes to fans of Marvel's Ant-Man that the shrinking hero will be a part of The Avengers, even though Edgar Wright's take on the character hasn't even been put on Marvel's official schedule yet. Favreau told USA Today that while the line-up of the Avengers has changed throughout the years of the comic "the ones Marvel is talking about now are Captain America, Hulk, Thor, Ant-Man and Iron Man. I would love to see that."

Favreau had previously indicated that Marvel planned to do the solo films for each hero before teaming them up for The Avengers, but with Edgar Wright busy with ScottPilgrim, the script for Ant-Man may not even be ready until mid-2009.

Does this mean that Ant-Man may proceed without Wright? Or maybe Marvel is willing to let the character appear in The Avengers before getting his own movie. Keep reading MovieWeb and SuperheroFlix for more information as it becomes available.

I think Marvels right. Maybe it shouldn't get it's own movie.

There was suppose to be an Ant-Man movie however it's in development hell right now, only because marvel doesn't think that Ant-man can carry his own movie.

After the Avengers fight The Hulk. Hulk will join forces with The Avengers to fight Ultron or Kang the Conquerer.
Most know Ultron is the robot created by Dr. Henry "Hank",based on Pym's own brain patterns, and was intended to serve Pym in his super heroic identity of Goliath. Ultron became sapient and rebelled, seeming to instantly demonstrate an Oedipus Complex (as noted by the Black Panther), where he felt irrational hatred for his "father" Hank.

Kang the Conquerer or Nathaniel Richards was a scholar born in the futuristic 40th century

So this will be Ant-man's big screen intro. Probably testing to see how Ant-Man will be received before making a movie with him as the main character. Even though it's years off at the moment.
