Ant-Man Paul Rudd Spotlight
Will Paul Rudd be a box office superhero?
Marvel Studios has certainly put a lot of faith in Rudd by casting him as the title character inAnt-Man. Rudd was the choice of Ant-Man director Edgar Wright before he left the project and was replaced by Peyton Reed. Rudd even co-wrote the new draft of Ant-Man with Adam McKay.
Rudd has been acting professionally for just over twenty years. While he has starred in some very successful comedy films, he has never headlined an action film before, much less a superhero movie. Rudd previously demonstrated his writing ability, however, when he co-created and wrote for the “Party Down” TV series and when he worked on the script for Role Models. Rudd has also been in constant demand for movie roles for the last ten years. Rudd’s Hollywood career gradually built momentum and he has the chance to reinvent himself as a star if Ant-Man is a huge hit for Marvel. Just look at what Guardians of the Galaxy did for Chris Pratt!
The prospects for Ant-Man should clear up as the July 17 release date approaches. But before Rudd faces his greatest test to date, ComingSoon.net has put together a retrospective of Rudd’s ten most pivotal roles to date. Each of these films marked an important step forward for Rudd’s career. And we’ll soon see where he’s going.
