The director starts talking about The Avengers at roughly the 3 minute mark, but I've transcribed his comments on Ant-Man below. Seeing as this follows on from confirmation by Edgar Wright, Joe Cornish and Kevin Feige that the character won't feature in the movie, I think we can finally put the speculation to rest once and for all. Unless they're keeping it a very closely guarded secret of course... Regardless, his comments about the challenges of helming this movie are also pretty interesting, so be sure to check out the interview below.
There are rumbling about Ant-Man being in the movie. Is that true or not?
"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."
