Following numerous reports yesterday that the acclaimed actor was in the running for the title role in Edgar Wright's upcoming movie following Henry Pym, the scientist who manages to create a substance that allows him to alter his size, Gordon-Levitt has squashed the rumors.

In an interview today with AlloCine, he said: "There are always rumors. I communicate a lot [on] my future projects, so if you have not heard me talk about it, this is just a rumor."

Gordon-Levitt also confirmed that any rumors about him meeting with Marvel execs are "false."

Reports also suggested that Paul Rudd was being courted for the role.

Gordon-Levitt is known for his roles in the films Angels in the Outfield, Beethoven, and 10 Things I Hate About You, and as Tommy Solomon in the TV series 3rd Rock from the Sun.

He has also starred in (500) Days of Summer, Inception, 50/50, Premium Rush, and Looper, and also appeared in The Dark Knight Rises, The Lookout, Manic, Lincoln, Mysterious Skin, Brick, and G.I.
