ANT-MAN Announcement Expected To Be Made At Today's IRON MAN 3 Panel?

We already know that Edgar Wright has shot a test reel of footage for Ant-Man, but it sounds as if either that or the confirmation of a release date will be revealed at today's Iron Man 3 panel at the San Diego Comic-Con. Read on for details.

Bleeding Cool, and several other reliable sites who were in attendance at last night's Item 47 screening, report that a very intriguing hint was dropped during a Q&A session which followed. A young fan asked whether Ant-Man or Wasp will appear in The Avengers 2 and while the panel remained silent and non-committal, host Anthony Breznican told him to make sure he's at the Iron Man 3 panel later today. This wasn't just an accidental slip of the tongue either. He repeated himself straight afterwards. However, Breznican has since denied saying this, although that's hardly surprising if he went and ruined Marvel's BIG surprise! If this does pan out, don't be surprised to see Edgar Wright in attendance. Will we get casting news; a release date perhaps? You'll have to stay tuned to CBM to find out!

OH MY...

I need a new solo Marvel movie! and Ant-man would be perfect for me. If not him, Black Panther.

Lets see what happens... :D
Lockjaw - 7/14/2012, 4:57 AM
ULTRON !!!!!!
silverdog - 7/14/2012, 5:09 AM
not crazy about an ant-man movie, but if it opens the doors to have pym, wasp and ultron in the avengers sequels... make it happen.
Xandera - 7/14/2012, 5:16 AM
Sweet! Bring on Ultron!

how many hours are left for the panel?¿
ckal - 7/14/2012, 5:32 AM
I'm more interested in what they are actually going to call the movie


They surely can't call it "Ant-Man."
RamonSuarez - 7/14/2012, 5:33 AM
This has winning written all over it.
RamonSuarez - 7/14/2012, 5:35 AM
Antman has so much potential to make a kickass film.

Awesome villain, great love interest, ties into the Avengers and SHIELD universe perfectly, and has a variety of powers that can be real cool on a silver screen.
Ace101 - 7/14/2012, 5:39 AM
oh man i cant wait for like another 12hrs to hear what marvel studios will announce
gambgel - 7/14/2012, 5:42 AM
so 12 hours left or what?
marvel72 - 7/14/2012, 5:50 AM
the iron man 3 pannel is what i'm looking forward to most,i hope we get some footage.

need some thor 2 & man of steel news as well.
CrimsonReign - 7/14/2012, 5:51 AM
Ant-man and wasp are just ridiculous characters. Movie audiences only want to see the primal characters that they know. For instance, Justice League will be making a mistake if they include either Cyborg or Martian Manhunter...wider audiences do not know nor care who they are. What they do know and want: Supes, Bats, Wonder Woman, Flash, Aquaman (lesser degree), and Green Lantern (damaged by the recent atrocious GL film).
RamonSuarez - 7/14/2012, 5:54 AM
Why do people continue to chat on this website without thinking?

Antman and Wasp in the Avengers >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Cyborg or Martian Manhanter on the JLA.

They have more memorable story arcs, an actual villain who is a main force, and a developed romantic story line. Cyborg and Manhunter are just generic DCU characters.


Ace101 - 7/14/2012, 5:55 AM
6:00-7:00 PDT/PST. Marvel Studios: Iron Man 3— Producer Kevin Feige and special guests provide an inside look at the ever-expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe. Hall H.

So it would be starting approx 12hrs from now
Seejay - 7/14/2012, 5:59 AM
The best thing about Ant-man is Ultron.

some_text
superotherside - 7/14/2012, 6:09 AM
Please. Release date. Cast. Yes. Please. Please.
ATrueHero1987 - 7/14/2012, 6:11 AM
Ant-Man/Giant-Man, Black Panther, or GOTG either one is fine with me.
gambgel - 7/14/2012, 6:14 AM
I guess I'll be sleeping in 12 hours, lol

We'll read the news tomorrow, then. I hope to be surprised in a good way :D
jazzman - 7/14/2012, 6:16 AM
@CrimsonReign

sorry but alot of people know Cyborg and Martian Manhunter. Cyborg and Martian Manhunter has appeared on tv shows and cartoons.

@RamonSuarez

Ant-Man and Wasp do have good story arc but the powers seems sometimes silly. when u think of Ant-Man powers he seems like a superhero version of Honey i Shrunk the kids. anyway i believe Edgar Wright will make Ant-Man great.
jazzman - 7/14/2012, 6:16 AM
@Marvel87

why not have all of them LOL
R888 - 7/14/2012, 6:17 AM
Yes [frick]ing yes
TChalla74 - 7/14/2012, 6:26 AM
SMFH.. Not too happy about this. The only thing I like about ant-man are his screw ups. Ultron was the best thing to come from ant-man. I'd rather see yellow jacket, ant-man is so lame.

I hope they don't blow The Black Panther off for this!!
ATrueHero1987 - 7/14/2012, 6:30 AM
@jazzman even better!lol
95 - 7/14/2012, 6:38 AM
Yes. Finally. Excited about this one.
DylansMyDog - 7/14/2012, 6:53 AM
So Marvel's 2014 movie was Black Panther, now it is DEFINITELY GotG, but we should all expect an Ant-Man announcement... I think it's fair to say no one has any idea what Marvel is planning
KingMarvel - 7/14/2012, 7:12 AM
I got a question i hope somebody knows the answer to.
Ok I know that sony owns Norman Osborn and i know that Disney owns Iron man, So my question is Hwo owns Iron Patriot???? Hwo owns that character on screen?? This is like one of the reason why i think marvel should buy back or sit down with sony and get it done!!
Ha1frican - 7/14/2012, 7:14 AM
Don't you get my hopes up CBM. Don't you dare...
PaulRom - 7/14/2012, 7:15 AM
A release date would be perfect. Casting would be nice too.
PaulRom - 7/14/2012, 7:16 AM
@KingMarvel: That's a very good question. I guess because the Iron Patriot suit is an Iron Man suit, then Marvel can use it as long as it isn't Norman Osborn wearing it. I could be wrong though.
TheDickRises - 7/14/2012, 7:21 AM
I can see ANT-MAN become new iron man
ANT-MAN will be the most succesfull marvel film after avengers
CrimsonReign - 7/14/2012, 7:22 AM
Ant-man or wasp would probably be a box office dud. I just do not see people lining up for that.

@jazzman Of course, WE here at comicbookmovie know these characters but we do not matter in terms of broad audience appeal. I was not talking about us, I was talking about the public at large.

@RamonSuarez You did not understand my post at all. I did not say anything about whether or not they have good storylines. My commentary is based upon the fact that no one knows or cares who MM, Cyborg, Ant-man, or wasp are in terms of non-comic book fans but who are still the vast majority of moviegoers.

The success of Batman and Avengers is making these movie studios get overheated in terms of approving comicbookmovies that should probably not be made. Sort of like putting out Elektra or DareDevil rather than concentrating on the big names that broad audiences know and are interested in.
dellamorte1872 - 7/14/2012, 7:36 AM
y'all are nuts ANT-MAN will be the comedic yet serious CBM outta MARVEL'S stable of films.
dellamorte1872 - 7/14/2012, 7:36 AM
it'll be incredibly unique and successful
CapsUnknownSidekick - 7/14/2012, 7:40 AM
Honestly, I would really dig it if they did a "Tales to Astonish" movie and split it. Even time for an introduction to Ant-Man & the Wasp and then make the other half the Hulk. You've got your established money maker in Hulk, and a chance to showcase a couple of characters that could be considered (in some eyes) as hard sells.

Now me, I would love Ant-Man to get a feature length film to showcase his coolness and prove all the haters wrong. Plus I love the wasp... but if my choice is sharing screen time with ol Jade Jaws or nothing at all? Well, bring on "Marvel's Tales to Astonish"
GUNSMITH - 7/14/2012, 8:10 AM
I WOULD LIKE IT IF THEY JUST CALLED THE MOVIE "PYM" AND HAVE HIM HAVE A CHOICE TO EITHER BE ANT MAN OR GIANT MAN.
ATrueHero1987 - 7/14/2012, 8:28 AM
I'm ready to see what movie is going to be announced. First they were saying it was Ant-Man, then Black Panther, then GOTG, and now back to Ant-Man!lol ready for 9:00(The Iron Man 3 panel is at 6:00 Pacific time).
JatevinM - 7/14/2012, 8:29 AM
Still don't think this movie should be made
GUNSMITH - 7/14/2012, 8:44 AM
MARVEL KNOWS WHAT ITS DOING.
RamonSuarez - 7/14/2012, 8:56 AM
Who cares if people don't know who Antman is? Did people know who the Crow or Blade were before those characters were adapted to film?

People know he's a part of tbe MCU, associated with SHIELD, and that an awesome director in Edgar Wright is adapting him to film.
ATrueHero1987 - 7/14/2012, 8:59 AM
^^^Exactly
LMB10 - 7/14/2012, 9:18 AM
Marvel wouldn't have been developing this for so long if they thought they ahd a bomb on their hands. i'm expecting something great.
CharlesTheIncredible - 7/14/2012, 9:44 AM
I will be glued to the main page waiting for SDCC updates lol
SuspenseSmith - 7/14/2012, 10:02 AM
@JacksonVegalll

Thor i thought would have been difficult to translate to film too, but they pulled it off wonderfully.
CoolantTech - 7/14/2012, 10:53 AM
I think the title should be
Pym: Antman Giant
MARVELPSYCHO79 - 7/14/2012, 11:09 AM
Today is going to be a huge day for news.I will be hooked to this site all day long with BEERS!!!!Its time to celebrate!!
Dunejedi1 - 7/14/2012, 11:28 AM
Two ideas for the title, 1) call it Giant-man in big black letters, with the ant-man part spelled in ants that start moving. Or 2) just call it Yellow Jacket and have them move through ant-man and giant-man quickly to settle on yellow jacket. I'm more partial to Ant-Man, myself. But I think Yellow Jacket would be a little more movie friendly for all the Chicken Littles worrying about the name.
Equivocal - 7/14/2012, 11:36 AM
damn it !

I'll be at work until 10 !!!
