Is Edgar Wright Teasing ‘ANT-MAN’ With This Picture? Plz Say Yes.
Edgar Wright has been quietly rubbing the prospect of doing an Ant-Man flick all over our sensitive parts for years. Regimes have risen and fallen all while no resolution to this potential has came. Yesterday the Good Wright tweeted a picture, and it has people a-buzzing that finally we may been approaching Ant-Valhalla.
Hit the jump for the picture and speculation.
Slashfilm:
By now you know that The Avengers was a pretty big deal this weekend and everyone and their mother is wondering what’s next for Marvel. Well, it’s Iron Man 3, Thor 2 andCaptain America 2 in that order. But will Avengers 2 come after that or will we get a few other movies first? Guardians of the Galaxy, perhaps? And what about Edgar Wright‘sAnt Man, a film he’s been writing on and off with Joe Cornish (Attack the Block) for years? Wright took to Twitter over the weekend to post a photo that seems to suggest maybe Ant Man is coming. Check it out below.
Here’s Edgar’s Tweet from Saturday May 5, followed by the image:
Received this in the mail. What can it mean? twitpic.com/9hnn6t

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 of Ant Man, Kevin Feige said it was closer than 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.
