Who was that masked man?! Crave’s ComicBookMovie.com published a report Tuesday about Armie Hammer, who is about to launch his movie The Lone Ranger, on the set of Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
When asked just why he was there … and whether it had anything to do with Ant-Man, Hammer gave a lengthy, and (maybe) evasive response. Rather than chop it up, we’ll give it to you as it was posted:
So, you and Edgar Wright visited the Captain America 2 set…
Me and Edgar? Who’s Edgar? The actor?The director. Edgar Wright.
Edgar Wright?Is this an act? If this is an act, you’re convincing.
No, it’s not an act. Who’s Edgar Wright?The supposed director of Ant-Man.
Of what?Ant-Man.
Ant-Man? Oh! Wait! You think you know something! No, there’s nothing! What do you know? What’s the rumor?That you were spotted on the Captain America 2 set with Edgar Wright.
No, there’s nothing.Really?
Yeah!Really.
I promise. I promise-promise. Ant-Man?You’re saying it like you’ve never heard of him before.
No, I know the character Ant-Man—like, the comic book character.You can’t tell me that this is the first time you’ve heard the rumor that you’re playing Ant-Man.
First in my life. I swear to god, cross my heart, hope to die. Amy! [Turns to his publicist Amy, who says, ‘”I’ve never heard of that ever ever. Who’s Ant-Man?”] They make him shrink! You’re a news-breaker right there.Potentially fictitious, apparently.
Well, it works. [Fake enthusiasm] I’m doing Ant-Man, I’m very excited about it. Me and Edgar.Congrats.
I did go visit the set, though. Not with Edgar.With who?
Just by myself.Any reason?
Um… a buddy of mine was working on the movie so I just wanted to go say hi.
