Marvel has confirmed Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas for Edgar Wright's 2015 Ant-Man movie, but rumors still attach other names such as Evangeline Lilly to the project. Two of those names, Michael Pena and Patrick Wilson, have now commented on the rumors.

Pena is rumored to play Castillo, an original character who supposedly appears at the beginning of the movie and plays a greater role as the film unfolds. Pena spoke to Collider, which asked if he had officially signed on for a part.

"We're [still] deciding though," he said. "I've been talking to Edgar and I think he's an amazing [director]...Hopefully things work out."

Wilson, meanwhile, spoke to Screen Rant and confirmed that he is in fact a part of the movie. He replied "no" when the site asked if he had tried on a costume yet and said "can't tell you" when asked if he would play a hero or villain in the movie. The actor confirmed he has an "important role" in the superhero film.

Screen Rant asked if Wilson learned anything from Zack Snyder's Watchmen, in which he played Nite Owl, to take into Ant-Man.

"No, totally different world," Wilson said. "I love Watchmen. I love Zack. I love the process of that. I'm so happy with that."

Finally, Wilson simply said "yes" when asked if he had read a script for Ant-Man.
