Simon Pegg teases Ant-Man on Twitter
But he won't be playing the diminutive superhero
Simon Pegg has been teasing Marvel fans on Twitter after posting a photo of himself pointing to an illustration of Ant-Man.
Though the intentions behind the photo seem innocent en🌊ough, certain film fans took it as a rather unsubtle hint that Pegg would in fact be playing Ant-Man in buddy Edgar Wright's in-production comic adaptation.

After the pic was met with, well, a lot of interest, Pegg attempted to ba♏cktrack by Tweeting the following…
FFS the Internet, all I did was point at the central character in my dear friend's next movie, because I'm excited for him. #iama﷽ntman
I am 💙however going to play Antnan, a film about the adventures of a tiny grandmother. #iama♐ntnan
