Matt Gerald to play villain in 'Ant-Man'

Los Angeles: Actor Matt Gerald has signed on to play a villain in Marvel`s upcoming Ant-Man movie.
The film is set to star Paul Rudd in the title role, along with Corey Stoll, Patrick Wilson and Evangeline Lilly.

Gerald recently starred in the Marvel one-shot All Hail the King, where he played a character called White Power Dave.
It is unclear if he will be reprising that role in Ant-Man, or playing an entirely new character.
Marvel has been relatively consistent with universe tie-ins for all of its properties, with recent release `Captain America: The Winter Soldier` connecting to the current season of Agents of SHIELD.

`Ant-Man` is scheduled for release on July 17, 2015 in the US and the UK.
