Edgar Wright tweets behind-the-scenes image from Ant-Man

Edgar Wright has tweeted the first image from behind the scenes of his Ant-Man movie, and the little fella certainly looks ready for some superhero action.

Don't get your hopes up, though - shooting on the pint-sized Marvel project isn't set to kick off until 2014. Instead, the above image appears to be from the set of Wright's test footage.

That's judging by Ant-Man's suit, which matches the one seen in the test footage that aired previously at Comic-Con. That footage showed the miniature superhero in action beating up a couple of goons.

If anything, the shot tells us that things are moving along nicely on a film that's taken its time getting made - and has us even more excited to find out what Wright's got up his sleeve.

Wright took a month off after ushering The World's End into cinemas earlier this year, but the Brit director looks to have swung back into movie-making at full velocity.
