The eagle eyed folks over at Bleeding Cool point out that during the world premiere of Ant-Man, it was revealed that Martin Donovan is playing Mitchell Carson in the finale of Marvel's Phase 2. Who? Well, in the comics, he's a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who was chosen to become the new Ant-Man before the suit was stolen by Eric O'Grady. He then went after the crook in a hastily thrown together prototype, but was left horribly disfigured in a fight with the man who stole his costume.

Donovan then went on to become a villain and was eventually imprisoned by Iron Man. There's every chance that none of this will end up making it into either Ant-Man or a possible sequel, but it's an interesting choice of character to include in the movie given his history. What do you think?
