Edgar Wright will be moving further into the mainstream with his upcoming Ant-Man film for Marvel, but the director has had a loyal fanbase for years thanks to his hilarious partnerships with actors Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.

Comic-Con 2012 continues to churn out surprises – and one of the show’s most intriguing pieces of information wasn’t announced on the Hall H floor, it was dropped during the post-panel press line.
