Oh, and Marvel will probably look at the Successosaurus Rex that is JWorld and cast Bryce Dallas Howard as Carol Danvers. :?

Wasn't she MJ? I guess that would be about right, because Johnny Storm is now Cap.

She played Gwen Stacy in Spider-Man 3.

Saw Ant-Man tonight. It was good and fun, but not top tier Marvel like Winter Soldier and Guardians. Marvel has set the bar really high for itself and this doesn't clear it. But it's not a bad movie by any means.
Paul Rudd is good as Ant-Man and Mike Douglas is good as Hank Pym.
Evangeline Lilly doesn't really gel as Hope. The emotional connections she supposed to make just don't connect.
Corey Stoll is a competent villain, but never really very threatening.
Michael Peña is funny as part of Scott's crew, but mostly they're all just stereotypes. The Latino, the Russian, the black guy.
Bobby Canavale as Cassie's cop stepfather did well with what he was given. I enjoyed the character.
The effects are cool in some places and in others it's like big fake CG ants.
One of the highlights of the movie is Scott breaking into New Avengers HQ and fighting Falcon although he seemed to be the ONLY guy on the premises.
Two cool stingers at the end. One sets up Hope as Wasp 2.0 for future installments and the other has Bucky, Falcon, and Cap setting up Civil War.

All told, this movie relies on the rest of the MCU to help it coast father than it would on its own, but it is a fun diversion that will tide you over until Civil War. 6.5/10.

I'm in no rush & might even wait until bluray. We have coupons for Jurassic World & are going to use those instead of going to see Ant-Man apparently ><

Ant Man was really good. Lots of fun.
Marvel's heist flick.
Great addition to the MCU.
