Joseph Gordon-Levitt or Paul Rudd Might Be Your ANTMAN

Variety has some news on who might play the titular hero in The World's End/Shaun of the Dead director Edgar Wright's upcoming Marvel feature, ANTMAN, and it's a double-sided coin between predictability and genius.
Sources tell Variety the two actors who have emerged as front-runners to land the title role in the superhero feature are Joseph Gordon Levitt and Paul Rudd. Insiders warn there’s still a remote possibility another actor could emerge but as of now, Gordon-Levitt and Rudd are the main contenders the role.
Now, don't get me wrong, I enjoy Joseph Gordon-Levitt; but he's that guy who's in literally everything, and he's already had two "comic book" properties under his belt with G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and The Dark Knight Rises, and while he's fine, a really brilliant choice would be Rudd, who isn't only an attractive funny-man with charm and some dashing good looks, he'd really be interesting to see take on more serious-notes as a sort-of ass-kicking super-hero; much like with what Marvel did casting Chris Pratt in Guardians of the Galaxy.
What do you all think? Keep in mind nothing is confirmed and this could all be rumor; and there's still the possibility neither will don the mask.
Who would you like to see as ANTMAN?
