POTD: Edgar Wright Teases ‘Ant Man’
By now you know thatThe Avengers wasa pretty big dealthis weekend and everyone and their mother is wondering what’s next for Marvel. Well, it’sIron Man 3, Thor 2andCaptain America 2in that order. But willAvengers 2come after that or will we get a few other movies first?Guardians of the Galaxy, perhaps? And what aboutEdgar Wright’sAnt Man, a film he’s beenwriting on and offwithJoe Cornish(Attack the Block) for years? Wrighttook to Twitterover the weekend to post a photo that seems to suggest maybeAnt Manis coming. Check it out below.
Here’s Edgar’s Tweet from Saturday May 5, followed by the image:

Of course Wright doesn’t say who sent it to him or what he thinks it means. It might have just been some fan, excited for the film to potentially get made. Or maybe it was Marvel saying, “Let’s do this.” We’ll likely know in the next few months.
When last we left the ongoing saga ofAnt Man, Kevin Feigesaid it was closerthan ever:
It’s somewhere. I’ll just say it’s closer than it’s ever been in its long maybe eight year history, and I usually e-mail Edgar every two or three days and over those eight years its got further away and closer… we are now closer than we’ve ever been. So I hope it will come together shortly.
And Wright has said time and time again that it’s moving forward. He has other things on his plate potentially, likeThe World’s EndandThe Night Stalker, but afterThe Avengersgrossed $200 million in 3 days, Marvel and Disney are going to want to make a sequel as soon as possible and one or two new heroes are a must, don’t you agree?Ant Manfits in perfectly.
Do you think this painting has any significance?
