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.
