Simon Pegg Points At Batman, Cue The Speculation

Last week, Simon Pegg set off a flurry of speculation when he tweeted a photo of himself pointing at a picture of Ant-Man while visiting the Marvel offices. Within minutes, news headlines across the Internet asked the question of if this meant that Simon Pegg had been cast as Ant-Man.Of course, it turned out that Simon Pegg was just pointing to Ant-Man as a tribute to his good friend Edgar Wright, who is directing the Ant-Man movie. In interviews and tweets after the Ant-Man picture, Simon Pegg has made it clear that he is definitely not playing Ant-Man.But what about other superheroes? Well, cue the Internet speculation, Simon Pegg has just posted a picture of himself pointing at a cut-out of Batman. Along with the photo, Pegg tweeted, “Uh…guys.”Of course, this is not the first hint tying Pegg to the Batman role. Last week, Edgar Wright tweeted, “THR Breaking: Simon Pegg offered role of ‘Batman’ in @wbpictures ‘Superman Vs Batman’. #BatPegg.”While Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright are just joking of course, it’s not really that much more insane a thought than some of the other Batman casting rumors out there.
