Ant Man is cool. He's like one of the very first Avengers (with Thor, Iron Man, Hulk, and Wasp (his wife). He's an asshole wife beater that can shrink and later grow super sized. Not a Marvel flagship character but after GotG, I learned to never count Marvel out.

actually acording to the comics, Ant man is the one who accidentally creates Ultron, you know the bad guy in the new avengers movie, so maybe they will tie this movies together.

You'd think so right?  They've actually changed things so that Tony Stark creates Ultron, I believe to make Stark more relevant. Considering he's "the star" of the movies(and rumors say RDJ wanted the change to stay on board), it makes more sense.  How Ant Man stays relevant outside of Ultron's creation is lost on me but I guess we'll see what they do.

This Antman (Scott Lang) doesn't do squat in the Ultron department. It's Hank Pym who makes Ultron, and in the movie he's being played by the decrtepit Michael Douglas. So the actual Antman origin story is being glossed over. Also It's Hank Pym who is the arsehole wife beater, so that back story is likely to be swept under the carpet. The potential to have a morally complicated character has been diminished somewhat because of these decisions. Scott Lang is likely to be portrayed as a loveable rogue with a good heart. Which will make him rather more shallow, and obviously less interesting as a person compared to Pym. But perhaps Michael Douglas's Pym will feature fairly prominantly and provide a bit more character depth. 

I do think it would be tricky putting in a 3rd science braniac in the Avengers with Stark and Banner already playing the roles of scientific geniuses. What I am geting a bit tired of is the all male origin story thing. All the female Avengers seem to get introduced in the Avengers movies. Why not have The Wasp origin Story. She was a founding member of the Avengers (too late for the movies) and has been a leader of the Avengers. She even came up with the name "Avengers". As it stands the 1st tier Avengers is a total sausage fest, which is rather tiresome. And look what's coming down the line with Marvel movies:

We're not going to see a female lead movie until Captain Marvel in 2018. That's too long a wait IMO. She's potentialy the most powerful of all the Avengers, if they give her her cosmic powers, and I reckon a 2016 intro, rather than Dr Strange, would have been a better placement for her.
