ANT-MAN
In an interview with Spinoff, "Ant-Man" supporting player Bobby Cannavale discussed how he got involved in the big budget Marvel movie.
"Even [getting involved with] 'Ant-Man' was [Paul] Rudd calling me up and saying, 'Dude, you have to play this part. It's going to be fun. Marvel's going to call you tomorrow.' That's literally how it happened. [Laughs] He literally said, 'Marvel is going to call you. [Adam] McKay and I have been working on the script. It's going to be awesome. I'm not going to fuck you.'"
Cannavale continued, this time talking about the tone of the film. "But, the actual work -- the scenes with me and Paul Rudd, and Judy Greer and Michael Pena -- felt like an indie film. It felt like fun. [Director] Peyton Reed [and the studio], they weren't mercurial about the script. They weren't mercurial about the humor, at all. They let us be in charge of that. We improvised a lot. Judy Greer's very funny. Paul's very funny -- he's a great improviser. The rewrite of the script that Paul did with McKay -- and I've worked with McKay before -- lent itself to that.
"You could see that there's a funny scene and we could actually riff off of that, and that felt impressive to me in this big huge blockbuster film," continued Cannavale. "It made me feel kind of good, that it felt like Marvel was going for something different. It didn't feel like 'Thor.' It felt more like 'Guardians of the Galaxy,' which I really enjoyed and I thought brought a certain levity to a superhero movie that I had never seen before."

CHRONONAUTS
Deadline has learned that Universal has optioned Image Comics' "Chrononauts," a new time-traveling adventure series from Mark Millar and Sean Murphy. The creators are attached as executive producers; Chris Morgan (the "Fast & Furious" franchise) will produce through Chris Morgan Productions.
CRASH RYAN
Variety has learned that producer Ryan Heppe has secured the movie rights for Ron Harris' 1984 Marvel Comics series "Crash Ryan." The four-issue series was released via Marvel's Epic imprint and the lead character appeared again in an arc in the anthology series "Dark Horse Presents" in 1990. "Crash Ryan" is set in a parallel, retro-futuristic 1935 and stars Ryan, a pilot swept up in the war against the United Airmen and a villainous character known as the Doom. David Cowper will co-write the screenplay with Heppe, which will reimagine the series with steampunk elements.
DAREDEVIL
Marvel has released another motion poster teasing the release of their first Netflix series, "Daredevil." This new video features the show's entire cast -- if you can spot all of them. You can even see what could be Daredevil's suit in Murdock's reflection at the end of the video.
Nuke the Fridge caught up with Scott Glenn, who plays Daredevil's mentor Stick.
"It's really, really exciting," said Glenn of his Marvel role. "It's kinda daunting because I've been telling my wife for the last eight or nine years, 'How come they're always having me be this old guy that sits behind a desk and sends the kids out to have all this fun?' And for Daredevil, I loved it because...I didn't know that world at all. I mean I understood right away that like in the world of Marvel, the people that I was working with were either in the 70's or people your age [20's] but they all were fanatical about the world of comics. I took it seriously and I realized that I had to play this character not tongue and cheek but seriously, and I had to deal with something that I've never had to deal with as an actor in my life -- which is being blind. And all of a sudden I'm kind of playing a character like Zatoichi, the blind swordsman. I'm a blind assassin and a martial arts master. So it meant aside from doing what you normally have to do as an actor such as making real emotional connections with the people you're working with to move the story along and things like that, it also meant that you would have to be doing a ton of martial arts. I mean real Hong Kong Bruce Lee martial arts...blind. I don't want to get into too much of the show but I was going to have to deal with that stuff for the first time in my life, so that was exciting, demanding and fun."

Stomach-churningly difficult to look at, Eugene's the town's reviled Frankenstein's monster but that won't change his earnest, sweet and pure outlook on life. However, he is troubled by something terrible he's done in the past -- something he fears may have turned God himself against him."
SUICIDE SQUAD
Jai Courtney, who will play Boomerang in David Ayer's "Suicide Squad," opened up a little bit about his super suit in an interview with IGN.

"My first comic book I ever collected was 'X-Factor' and I actually really loved Apocalypse, and yeah, so when I heard that maybe that would be the next villain, I was like, 'Guys, get me in there, I want to meet with them,'" said Isaac. "Apocalypse is so cool and weird and scary and I wanted to be a part of that."
When asked if he would be performing the larger than life via motion capture, Isaac paused and said, "I'm going to be on set... Although I don't know the details of the whole situation."
