Filming on Ant-Man began today in San Francisco, CA, and will later head to Atlanta, GA, which will serve as the base for the film’s production, according to Marvel, who announced the news this morning.

Last week, we reported on a rumor that some of the cameos we would see in Ant-Man would have some pretty big connections. Stark seems to be at the center of those connections, with Peggy Carter, Howard Stark, and Arnim Zola also being involved. Based on that, we can speculate that Hank Pym would be a member of the group that helped create S.H.I.E.L.D.

Marvel’s announcement today confirms that cast has grown quite a bit. Judy Greer, T.I., Bobby Cannavale, and John Slattery have all joined the film. We can also confirm that Michael Pena is going to be in Ant-Man. Hit the jump for more.

Marvel Studios films have always had some interwoven connection to each other. Even Guardians Of The Galaxy found a way to connect itself to the previous films thanks in part to the use of Thanos. But with that Guardians out of the way, it’s time to look ahead to 2015. Focusing on Ant-Man, it will be interesting to see how it will factor into the Marvel Cinematic Universe since it will be an original film in Marvel’s Phase 3.

Filming on Ant-Man will begin next week, but our friends at Latino Review have discovered some of the cameos that may or may not appear in the film. These cameos reach far beyond the MCU films as they may also have a connection to some of the television series. Hit the jump to find out some of the cameos of the film.

Marvel has released a special Comic-Con poster for their upcoming movie Ant-Man.

Marvel Studios has officially announced that Peyton Reed will replaced Edgar Wright as the director of their Phase Three kick-off superhero feature Ant-Man. Adam McKay, the director of the Anchorman movies and Step Brothers, is also coming aboard to rewrite the screenplay previously in the hands of Wright and Joe Cornish.

Reed’s past credits as a director include Bring It On, Down With Love, The Break-Up, and Yes Man. He’s accustomed to making entertaining comedies for major studios that are both visually and verbally inventive, so hopefully he will prove to be a worthy successor to the departing Wright. His hiring brings to an end a brief but exhaustive search for a viable replacement director that has sucked in and spit out names such as Ruben Fleischer, David Wain, Rawson Michael Thurber, Michael Dowse, and Nicholas Stoller. McKay himself was also mentioned as a possible pinch-hitter for Wright but bowed out close to signing a deal due to other directorial commitments.

This week started out pretty good for Marvel Studios with the extremely positive response received by the latest trailer for their big summer flick Guardians of the Galaxy that was released on Monday. Now that it’s Friday, we’re getting one of the worse pieces of Marvel-related news imaginable.

Action-comedy filmmaker extraordinaire Edgar Wright has departed Marvel’s upcoming Phase Three kick-off film Ant-Man as director. Wright has been attached to directing the film long before the studio became a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood. But just as principal photography was gearing up to begin, the universally adored British director behind such classics as Shaun of the Dead and Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World decided to split with Marvel “due to differences in their vision of the film,” or so a joint statement issued by Wright and the studio claimed.
