Marvel’s Ant-Man movie is drumming up big business in a small package at the box office this weekend in pacing for a three-day total north of $50 million. The diminutive superhero played by Paul Rudd on the big screen seems like a perfect candidate for a Disney Infinity 3.0 figure, and the odds of this happening have jumped to just shy of 100 percent.
The official Disney Infinity Twitter account sent out a not-so-cryptic tweet this weekend to celebrate the release of Ant-Man in theaters. The headline reads, “Something Big is coming to Disney Infinity,” while the image features Hulk holding a really small person in the palm of his hand.
Disney Interactive has yet to announce the new Disney Infinity 3.0 Marvel Play Set that is confirmed to be on the way alongside the already revealed Hulkbuster and Ultron figures. I suspect the announcement will come at D23 next month and we will get our first look at the Ant-Man figure, and possibly Yellow Jacket as well, at the same time.
Disney Infinity 3.0 arrives in stores on August 30, 2015.
