More Ant-Man News Says Villain Could Be Yellowjacket

Scoop on Marvel's Ant-Man movie has been pouring in recently, and the latest information indicates that the film's villain could be Yellowjacket.

JoBlo reported earlier in the week that Ant-Man's villain would be Darren Cross, who in the comics runs Cross Technological Enterprises, a rival of Stark Industries and Oscorp. His cousin eventually becomes the villain Crossfire. It was unclear which characters Patrick Wilson and House of Cards alumnus Corey Stoll would play, but then a report from TheWrap's Jeff Sneider clears it up:

"I'm told Corey Stoll is playing Ant-Man villain Darren Cross & Patrick Wilson is playing is cousin, who may or may not become Crossfire," Sneider tweeted Thursday.

As Sneider says, it's unknown if Crossfire would actually suit up in this movie because they could save him for sequels. Now, Badass Digest reports whichever character does put on a suit would do so as Yellowjacket. Devoted Marvel fans might know the character as one of Hank Pym's costumed identities from the comics. Michael Douglas plays Pym in the movie, but it doesn't seem at this point like he would put on a costume.

Here's the rest of what JoBlo reported earlier in the week:

-       The story begins with Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) as a thief and a single father who is struggling financially. He breaks into Hank Pym's apartment and steals the Ant-Man suit.

-       Darren Cross will have a suit similar to Ant-Man's but it will have a more military look with a yellow and black color scheme and tendrils coming off the back.

-       The Ant-Man suit will be much more elaborate than what fans have seen thus far. The helmet will open and close like Iron Man's and red lights will decorate the suit. The helmet's eyes will glow red when closed, and the suit overall is more complex and futuristic than what we have seen to this point.

-       Ant-Man will actually use ants as his superpower in the movie. Scott Lang will communicate with them through his helmet (just like in the comics), which is supposedly a special component of the film's story.
