Interesting stuff.

Good thing it's not for a tv show; it'd be canceled mid-season.

As much as I love me some Fillion, I think our casting of Michael C. Hall is better.

As good as Dexter is, I have NEVER been a fan of Michael C. Hall. His delivery is consistently wooden and while that works for a serial killer or undertaker, it doesn't really work for a scientist with anger/passion issues.

Good bit of casting, if it's true.

this could work.

He'd make a pretty good Pym.

meh.

I agree. I was suprised he was so terrible in Gamer.

I can see Fillion in it, but I dont need to see him smack around the Wasp.

Fillion as Ant Man is about the only thing that could make me care about that movie, so I hope that it's true.

Agreed. I don't think that Hall would be able to pull off being an Avenger.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I LOVE Nathan Fillion, but I don't see him as Pym. I guess it could work. I just hope that if he's cast that they don't go the wife beater route.

^ If they do, it'll be light-note. Like him yelling at her and grabbing her arm. As a foreshadowing, nod to fans of that awfulness, and can easily be taken as a small anger burst and never touched on again.

Anyways, I guess I can see it. Seems Kevin Pennington is more suited for Hawkeye?

I assumed Renner was rumoured for Hawkeye and that Kevin Pennington has said he will not be Hawkeye (twitter or something). In any case, I can see him being Wendell Vaughn (allowing for a Quasar movie in the future) or Clay Quartermain (considering that they are putting together a SHIELD movie).

Concerning Fillion, I can see it working well. With Whedon involved, that could go better than expected. The spousal abuse thing would bother me, but I can see them making Pym more than just that, especially if Fillion and Whedon are attached to the character's portrayal.
