Movie Photos
Internet Assumes Simon Pegg Is Starring In ANT-MAN
After Vin Diesel had posted a photo of himself at Marvel HQ next to a poster of the Avengers, now it’s Simon Pegg’s turn to offer an intriguing look at himself while visited Marvel Studios.
Actually, The World’s End star stopped by the Marvel offices to participate in a podcast. Ryan Penagos, executive editorial director at Marvel responded:
Edgar Wright who co-wrote and directed The World’s End is also set to direct Ant-Man as his next film giving Pegg the opportunity to spread rumors that he could end up playing the title character in the Marvel film. After all, Pegg himself shot down the non-rumor with some new tweets:@slashfilm Nope! We just had him in the NYC office for a tour and a podcast.

The World’s End opens in theaters on August 23rd, 2013, while Ant-Man is not due in theaters until 2015. Do you think Pegg is just playing a game with Twitter?Oh wait, I fucked up that hashtag. It was supposed to be #iamnotantman
