The movie, which will be kicking off Phase 3 of Marvel's Cinematic Universe, has a cast including Paul Rudd as lead character Scott Lang and Michael Douglas playing his mentor Hank Pym.
Some footage was already shot and shown at San Diego's Comic-Con recently that displayed Lang riding an ant and talking to Pym over a ear piece. The footage went over well at Comic-Con and fans were pleased with the work by new director Peyton Reed.
As for other roles in the film, New Life Casting posted on their Facebook that a feature film was looking for military and business type people for a film shooting at Pinewood Studios, where Ant-Man currently is, according to Variety.
The listing said, "New Life Casting is looking for people to play the roles below in a feature film beginning late August in the Atlanta area. Military looks with some experience handling weapons, Scientists, Business looks, and Ravers 18-23."
It seems like Ant-Man will be shooting some of the lab scenes with Pym and Lang while they are in Atlanta and there may be some action like what was on display with the Comic-Con footage. Either way, it looks like the movie is back on track for its 2015 release date that was in question.
Ant-Man stars Rudd, Douglas, Evangeline Lilly, and Corey Stoll and opens in theaters on July 17, 2015.
