Edgar Wright's Marvel film could happen sooner than expected.
hat Ant-Man movie could be happening sooner than we previously thought.
Latino Review, a site that consistently breaks Marvel stories -- much to the chagrin of the studio -- reports that the current plan for director Edgar Wright's Ant-Man is for the film to take over the studio's London production space once principal photography on Thor: The Dark World wraps there. That film starts shooting in August, so that could put an Ant-Man production start at around spring/summer 2013.
Test footage for Ant-Man was screened at Comic-Con earlier this month, but it has been unclear when the film would actually shoot or be released. Marvel already has two films scheduled for 2014: Captain America: Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy. LR speculates that Ant-Man might also turn out to be a 2014 release, which would confirm rumors that Marvel wants to start releasing three films per year with their Phase 2 cycle of movies.
Of course, Wright also has his next Simon Pegg/Nick Frost picture, The World's End, gearing up to shoot this fall, so he'll be a busy man if this Ant-Man report is accurate.
