Ant-Man Director Edgar Wright Also Denies the Armie Hammer Rumors

Perhaps the director of Marvel Studios's upcoming Ant-Man film feels the playful way The Lone Ranger's Armie Hammer toyed with reporters while denying any involvement in the film wasn't quite strong enough. In any case, Wright took to Twitter earlier today to join in the choir of disapproval, telling fans that not only has Hammer not been seen with him on the set of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, but that Wright has neither met Hammer nor been to the set. "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," tweeted the director. While that sounds pretty definitive to us, expect the conspiracy theories to continue on a bit longer as fans and the press in Cleveland try to figure out just why it was that everyone was so convinced they'd seen Wright there in the first place. After all, some people will undoubtedly reason, why would he lie about a set visit unless this were in fact true? Unless photos of Wright on set turn up, we'd say to ignore all that gossip for the next few days until the dust clears. Wright's talents were last put to use directing a single shot in J.J. Abrams's Star Trek Into Darkness earlier this year. His next film, The World's End, will be in theaters on August 23.
