Peyton Reed sets the record straight on the rumors that Hawkeye will join "Ant-Man and the Wasp". Taking the leaf out of Donald Trump's book, the director takes it to Twitter to clarify the report, "The Russians are swarm-tweeting that Hawkeye is in ANT-MAN AND THE WASP. #FakeNews."

Jeremy Renner himself hasn't commented on the rumors, but he is currently in Atlanta to film "Avengers: Infinity War" with Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Now that it's confirmed that he won't be in the "Ant-Man" sequel, does it mean that he will be available for "Mission: Impossible 6"?

Payton Reed who directed the first "Ant-Man" film will return behind the lens for the sequel. Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly are expected to reprise their roles as Scott Lang and Hope van Dyne respectively. It's scheduled to arrive in theaters Stateside on July 6, 2018.
