Edgar Wright has released an Ant-Man-themed teaser image via Twitter, sparking rumours that an official announcement is imminent.

The Marvel Comics superhero is widely tipped to be next in line for his own movie, and Wright has been linked with the adaptation for some time.

Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios, previously revealed that an Ant-Man movie is "as close as it's ever been" to happening, though it is yet to receive the green light.

Marvel's latest blockbuster The Avengers is breaking box office records around the world. Ant-Man was a founder member of the titular superhero team, but failed to make the roster for the film.

Feige recently addressed the character's exclusion from the film, explaining that he might have made the cut if an Ant-Man solo film had been released in the run up the Joss Whedon-helmed team-up project.

Ant-Man is expected to be announced by Marvel later this year.

The Hollywood Reporter reveals that Edgar Wright has finished production on Ant-Man. Unfortunately, we're not talking about the film itself. Instead, the director has not only been hard at work perfecting his and Joe Cornish's script, but he's also spent a week shooting a reel of footage which will be used to test out the look of the film and how the character's powers will be portrayed on the big screen. This is usually the case for certain films, and those of you who checked out 300's special features may remember Zack Snyder doing something very similar for that comic book adaptation. This may also explain why comic book stores in London have been finding themselves bombarded with requests for old Ant-Man back-issues.

Hm... I'm really on the fence here. Are we talking live action? I just don't know that Ant Man is going to make for a good movie...

it certainly will be live action but yeah its going to be lame unless his powers come across well on screen

    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram by Aditya Tiwari Meta announced that its Instagram for TV app has arrived on Samsung TVs in the US as part of its latest expansion, giving users one more way to scroll through Reels. The social media giant often comes under scrutiny for the "addictiveness" of its features, which leads people to spend excessive time on the platform. Interestingly, Instagram boss Adam Mosseri described spending 16 hours on the platform as "problematic use" but not "clinical addiction." Mosseri also compared scrolling on Instagram to binge-watching a show on Netflix. Instagram for TV is now available on Samsung TV models released in 2020 or later. The app is already available on Amazon Fire TV and Google TV in the US, which together account for the majority of connected TV devices. The company said it will test several new features to improve the living room and family experience while using Instagram on the big screen. Watching vertical videos on a big screen isn't something many would be excited about. Probably that's why Meta is testing a dedicated home for horizontal videos. Creators will get the opportunity to design content for TV screens and get more ways to reach audiences, according to Meta. If you found an interesting Reel while doomscrolling on your phone, you'll be able to cast it to your TV. The feature is available for testing on Instagram for TV on Google TV and Amazon Fire TV, and it will also support videos from the Saved tab. Instagram for TV will be testing Channels organized around user interests, across genres such as comedy and sports, as well as content from favorite creators. Moreover, you can watch Stories on your TV. While Instagram is known for short-form videos, it's knocking on more doors to keep the audience hooked. The company said it's exploring new content formats for the big screen, including long-form creator content to cover topics in detail, episodic series to build suspense across multiple episodes, and creator live sessions on TV. All of the new updates put Instagram in competition with established giants like YouTube (and Netflix), which already have a robust presence on the big screen. In recent updates, Instagram added the ability to write an individual caption for each carousel image, manually re-order posts, and a paid version of the app.

      I know RAM and storage prices are high right now, but I think it would have been better to have 1TB as the base level storage, especially as it's supposed to be for gaming. Plus a 2.5gbe ethernet port rather than only 1gbe.
    • Microsoft releases major feature updates for stock Windows 11 apps

      By Neeo · Posted

      I have installed the debloated version of Windows 11 25H2 Pro. I obtained the apps from store.rg-adguard.net. The size of the Photos app window is quite problematic for me; it consistently displays in a 16:9 aspect ratio, resembling a movie theatre screen, and cant remeber its last size and position. The Snipping Tool cannot capture the taskbar. When I select "Window" in capture mode, it allows me to capture menus or individual windows, but I am unable to capture just the taskbar. This functionality was available in version 24! I am on the same version numbers (latesst).

      I'm already seeing my steam library, still swallowing the 16 Gb of RAM, then looking at the SD storage expansion and saying "what?".
