ANT-MAN Gearing For A London Shoot; 2014 Release Likely?
It appears that Marvel Studios are planning to shoot their long in development Ant-Man project in London after Thor: The Dark World and Edgar Wright finishes up The World's End. Read on for more details.
Latino Review has broken yet another Marvel Studios scoop. The site (who revealed earlier this summer that Guardians Of The Galaxy would be Marvel's other 2014 project) now says that, following the end of Thor: The Dark World's production this summer, Marvel will begin production on Edgar Wright's Ant-Man in London. The film has been in development for some time, so those who have been looking forward to seeing Wright's take on the Marvel character should be excited to hear this news.
Wright is currently set to film The World's End later this year, reteaming with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Thor: The Dark World will begin production in London next month. So production on Ant-Man should begin sometime next year, as was previously stated by Pegg.
Also, Latino Review says that it's looking likely that Ant-Man will be Marvel's third 2014 release, which has been rumored since the recent debut of Wright's test footage at San Diego Comic-Con. Captain America: The Winter Soldier and the aforementioned Guardians Of The Galaxy are set to be released on April 4th and August 1st, respectively, in 2014. Stay tuned to CBM for all news on Ant-Man.
