Edgar Wright has posted an image on his personal blog that may reveal the secret identity of Ant-Man in the director's upcoming big screen adaptation.

Edgar Wright's "Homework"

Loading

After much speculation, Marvel confirmed that Paul Rudd would star in Wright's Ant-Man a few weeks ago. The question then became: Which version of the hero would Rudd be playing? The original Ant-Man, Henry Pym, whose discovery of Pym Particles made Ant-Man’s size-shifting possible? Or one of the other characters to take up the Ant-Man mantle? (Ant-Mantle? Nailed it!) If the image Wright posted with the caption “Homework” is intended to be a clue, it would seem the film will focus on the second Ant-Man, Scott Lang. Check it out:According to Comicbookmovie.com , that image comes from an episode of the animated series Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. Among other things, the episode is notable for its depiction of Pym passing the Ant-Man torch to Lang.In the series, much like in the Marvel comics, Lang is an otherwise virtuous man driven to crime to save his daughter. He ultimately finds himself on the right side of the law as Ant-Man after impressing Pym with his ability to use the Ant-Man suit. It remains to be seen whether this rumor is accurate, but it is known that these two characters – Lang and Pym – are the only ones in the running. Eric O'Grady, the largely amoral third Ant-Man known as The Irredeemable Ant-Man, has been dismissed as a possibility by Marvel . Ant-Man hits theaters July 31, 2015.
