Ant-Man was first introduced in Marvel Comics' Tales To Astonish #27 (January 1962) by the legendary creative duo of Jack Kirby and Stan Lee<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

News of this first broke two years ago when Hot Fuz<\/em>z and Shaun Of The Dead<\/em> writer\/director Edgar Wright was riding high from his post-modern indie comic adaptation Scott Pilgrim Vs The World<\/a><\/em>, but now it looks as though Wright’s Marvel movie debut, Astonishing Ant-Man<\/em>, could finally become a reality.<\/p>\n

Marvel Studios boss and Avengers assembler Kevin Feige previously commented, “It\u2019s as close as it\u2019s ever been. Edgar is getting excited to get behind the camera again and start some advanced prep work for ‘Ant-Man’. We are going to take some forward steps in a few months that will bring it closer than ever.”<\/p>\n
