Yeah, nothing about Keanu Reeves has ever screamed "desperate for steady work."

[livid]

And neither did any of what I was saying. I was simply stating that it's not impossible to think that he wouldn't be above doing TV, an opinion that a lot of stars of things like The Matrix wouldn't have. I then offered to support that claim with the fact that he doesn't get much work these days (whether by choice or not). LL flatly dismissed the idea on the assumption that he isn't interested but I'm not willing to make assumptions about what's going through the head of a guy I don't even know. I can only use what's in front of me and what's in front of me is a guy who was once the star of a major franchise and now doesn't have a steady stream of work.

[LL!]

No. I never dismissed the idea thinking that he'd be above it. My initial comment wasn't even at you, it was at Ant who stated that he had fallen from grace.

Either way, I'm not pulling this shit out of my ass. Just look at any of his most recent interviews.

Edgar Wright tweeted a picture from the set of Ant-Man:

"Now I'm back in L.A., it's high time to finish a little something I've been working on…"

Are they filming Ant Man already?

[TKz]

Not impossible, they'd be starting to film early 2014 for the 2015 release. But it's more likely they're just working on figuring out how they're going to do some of the stuff.

[Benjamin]

Oh okay. I was just confused because I haven't heard a thing about them filming the Avengers yet and wondered why they were doing Ant Man first.

[GoGo Yubari]

Samuel L. Jackson seems to have pretty much confirmed that Elizabeth Olsen has been cast, presumably as the Scarlet Witch.

[Josh]

Which is tremendous news, in my view.

[LL!]

Yeah, I mean they haven't even cast Ant-Man yet. So they're not filming, but I'm sure a lot of technological logistics need to be figured out before filming. And like TKz said, they'd probably like to start early next year in order to meet the 2015 deadline.

[TKz]

I know nothing about Elizabeth Olsen outside of that she's an Olsen but not a twin and is pretty hot. But people who've seen her act seem to think she's good, so that's cool. I don't have the hardcore love for Scarlet Witch that others do, but I like the character and I'm kind of just happy to see her in a film.

[LL!]

Yeah. Elizabeth Olsen is great. If there's anything that can be guaranteed regarding Scarlet Witch, is that the acting won't be horrible.

[Benjamin]

Come on, Tkz. You've never seen her in The Adventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley?

[TKz]

I've only read the book.

[Josh]

For whatever goddamn reason, I am only now realizing I confused Elizabeth Olsen with Elizabeth Moss. I am so disappointed.

[GoGo Yubari]

I did that too for about an hour when the rumors first broke because I mashed up her name with Peggy Olson's.

Also Aaron Taylor-Johnson has been cast as Quicksilver, as has been rumored for months.

That's kick-ass!

Joseph Gordon-Levitt (surprise! Seriously, dude's been mentioned for pretty much every superhero role in the last 2 years) and Paul Rudd are the front-runners to get the Ant-Man gig.

I honestly couldn't care less who they choose out of those two because either would be great.

[TKz]

I like JGL, but Paul Rudd could kill it as Ant Man. Neither really strike me as the Hank Pym type, but last I heard it wasn't the Hank Pym Ant-Man.

[livid]

It is Pym, just with tweaked mythology.
