News on
Ant-Man (from
Shaun of the Dead and
Hot Fuzz writer and director Edgar Wright) was slow for a while, but the success of
Marvel's The Avengers and some hints from both Kevin Feige and Edgar Wright himself - find that
HERE - reignited interest in the long talked about adaptation. Well,
@TwitchFilm has revealed something very interesting indeed, as you can see from the Tweet below.
Rumblings in
#Cannes are that
@edgarwright's ANT MAN has been greenlit.

Wright is currently teaming up with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost for
At World's End, but some have already speculated that he will start shooting
Ant-Man for Marvel either at the end of this year or sometime during 2013 (putting it on track to be the mystery 2014 release from the studio). This is a reliable source and the Cannes Film Festival seems like a fitting location for news like this to hit. With rumours like this now kicking off, here's hoping it spurs Disney and Marvel Studios to finally make an official announcement.
