Fan Casting Dr. Elias Starr in Edgar Wright's Astonishing Ant-Man

The full history of Dr. Elias Starr is unknown. At some point in the past he was apparently either a mentor to or worked closely with Dr. Henry Pym; Starr blames Pym for the accident which gave Starr's daughter Ava powers of invisibility and intangibility. (Incidentally, Ava blames both Pym and her father for the accident.) When Pym made his debut as Ant-Man, Starr immediately recognized him, and began to plot against him as revenge for what happened to Ava. His first scheme was to use a cybernetic helmet similar to Pym's in an attempt to command the ants against him. That scheme failed, but Starr managed to elude capture. Starr later appeared controlling a number of androids of his own creation: two ten-foot tall androids and a thirty foot tall android cyclops. These androids were swiftly defeated by Pym and his girlfriend, Janet van Dyne, who had become Pym's partner, the Wasp. Several months later, Starr and Ava began recruiting a team they called the Lethal Legion to engage in attacks against Ant-Man and the Wasp. As the Legion's leader, Starr led them in a series of attacks Ant-Man and Wasp which culminated in an attack on the Avengers, of whom Ant-Man and Wasp were members, only to finally be arrested. Starr later broke free from prison, presumably assisted by Ava. Since then, however, Starr has been suspiciously absent; his subsequent and current activities are currently unknown.
