Michelle Pfeiffer and Christoph Waltz

While it’s one of the lesser MCU flicks, Ant-Man proved to be one entertaining movie "“ especially since it introduced the awesome Paul Rudd into the shared universe. Its sequel, set to be released on the 6^th of July 2018, will introduce another superhero (as its title says) and will be the first Marvel film after the Infinity War has started "“ so there is a lot riding on it.

The rumor says that Marvel wants to cast a couple of legendary actors in key roles. The first is Michelle Pfeiffer (Catwoman from Tim Burton's Batman Returns), who is said to be in early talks for the role of Janet Van Dyne (to be noted, a previous rumor said that this role would be played by Catherine Zeta Jones). The second character is the villain, with Christoph Waltz also being in negotiations.

As far as Janet is concerned, she could prove a very useful and powerful ally against Thanos, especially since she spent so much time in the Quantum Realm. As far as the villain is concerned, the name Elias Strickler has been floating around "“ a mad scientist type of character.

As said, these are two important roles.
