Paul Rudd & Joseph Gordon-Levitt confirmed as front runners to play Ant Man

So here’s a thing…

It seems as though Variety has confirmed that Paul Rudd and Joseph Gordon Levitt are front-runners to play Ant Man in Edgar Wright’s upcoming movie.

The article states that these two are the prime contenders, and will meet once more with Edgar before the role is eventually cast.  However, it also acknowledges that there’s “still a remote possibility” someone else could land the role.

So what do we make of this?  JGL I could probably see, but Rudd?  Not sure I’m convinced.
