Hammer Squashes Ant-Man Rumors

Hammer Squashes Ant-Man Rumors

June 26, 2013 By Michael Hickerson Leave a Comment

armie-hammer-lacma-2012-03Actor Armie Hammer has squashed rumors that he’s been cast as Ant-Man.

Hammer denied reports that he’s part of the Phase Three Marvel Studios movie.

The film’s director Edgar Wright has also said that he has not met with the actor on the set of Captain America: The Winter Soldier as reported.

“Me and Edgar? Who’s Edgar? The actor?” said Hammer when asked by Screen Rant about his visit to the set. “Edgar Wright? No, it’s not an act. Who’s Edgar Wright? [The director] of what? Ant-Man? Oh. Wait. You think you know something. No, there’s nothing! What do you know? What’s the rumor?”

Hammer insisted that he had never heard the rumor before, saying: “First in my life. I swear to God, cross my heart, hope to die. Amy! [Turns to his publicist Amy, who says, ‘I’ve never heard of that ever ever. Who’s Ant-Man?’] They make him shrink. You’re a news-breaker right there.”

Wright has since tweeted: “But… I haven’t been on the Cap 2 set… Or met Mr Hammer… I am pretty sure I have been in a dark room in London this whole time.”
