UPDATE:

Following yesterday's Ant-Man casting buzz, Simon Pegg returned to Twitter with an update on the photo of him at Marvel. As it turns out -- perhaps not surprisingly -- he wasn't hinting at anything at all (via Coming Soon ):

"FFS the Internet," Pegg tweeted , "all I did was point at the central character in my dear friend's next movie, because I'm excited for him."The original story follows below...

Without jumping to any conclusions, Simon Pegg tweeted an image of himself earlier today possibly hinting that he's in Edgar Wright's Ant-Man movie.Why do we think this? Well, check out the photo below and see for yourself (and note Pegg's sly index finger pointing at the Ant-Man figure on the wall):

Of course, an image like this doesn't prove much of anything. Indeed, this could just be Pegg having a bit of fun with his followers. On the other hand, Pegg's involvement wouldn't be totally unbelievable. After all, he's starred in three of Wright's four feature films. As for whether he'd play Ant-Man himself or another character, well, that's up for discussion. Nevertheless, this could be our first whiff of casting news on the film (if Pegg's coy smirk is anything to go on).Would you like to see Pegg as Edgar Wright's Ant-Man? Let us know in the comments!
