Joss Whedon/The Avengers Movie News:

Despite the fervent desire of all to see Ant-Man in the Joss Whedon directed Marvel movie, The Avengers, Joss keeps needing to reiterate that there will be no Ant-Man in the movie.

In fact one of the quotes to date says

“You know, I’m really not allowed to say what happens in the movie, but I can say that it’s not true. Ant-Man is NOT in the movie.”

As we all know, there was much-to-do about nothing concerning both Hank Pym, who, via his utilities, could become either Ant-Man, Giant-Man, Goliath, etc., etc.  The character has more identity issues than this site!

But Ant-Man had more than one person behind the guise.  Aside from Hank Pym, Scott Lang and Eric O’Grady also donned the mantle of Ant-Man through the years.

If we take Whedon at his word, then this is a moot point.  But if we think about the history of Ant-Man, there might be two possibilities, if they are thinking about sneaking in Ant-Man into the movie… as either some future-flash look in closing credits or possibly a super-quick cameo by the character, aka, Dr. Hank Pym, in a scene.  Or heck even a quick appearance of O’Grady.  O’Grady was a SHIELD agent who found the suit in storage at SHIELD headquarters.

According to WorstPreviews, they’re saying that Ant-Man and Wasp will be making screen-test appearances in Joss Whedon‘s The Avengers.

It’s been said that Marvel will be tossing some characters into the The Avengers, looking to see how folks react and this is one of those reported testings.

WorstPreviews gleaned this information from the French magazine, Fantastique, where producer Stephen Broussard gave up some details.

Now all we need to happen is for the Ant-Man appearance in The Avengers to have a good audience reaction so that Marvel can move on the Edgar Wright spec script he handed them some time back!
