The director has spoken with 'Omelete' about returning to work on the Ant-Man film as soon as his work on “Scott Pilgrim” has finished.

“Ant-Man is something I need to return to,” said Wright. “I wrote a draft before Scott Pilgrim started and it’s kind of on the back burner slightly just because I’ve been busy with this. But it’s something that I have got to return to. I have to do another draft after Scott Pilgrim is done.”

As far as that first draft goes, Wright said that he’s pretty satisfied with his work thus far and is looking forward to penning the next draft.

“When you come away from something it’s good and fun to rework what you’ve already done,” the director confessed. “But I’m very happy with the first draft and we need to get back into business.”

However, with rumours that Ant-Man will feature in 'The Avenger' it seems that a solo film will have to wait until after his Avengers debut.

I'm still interested in NOT seeing it though. Not without the rest of the avengers. Be like watching a full movie of plastic man... i would rather gouge out my eyes out with chop sticks, lay down and piss upwards aiming at my eye sockets.

LEEE777 - 7/7/2009, 2:11 PM
SHAMAN @ ANTMAN is its own movie! He's in AVENGERS too! ; )

Man, whatever happened to Stephen Speilbergs PLASTIC MAN???

Now that would've been good! (With Jim Carrey) ; )

JOSH @ Did you even look on news to see if anyone had done this article?? My articles been up a good 15 minutes before yours turned up, GEEZUZ : D

Have no fear, Josh is here!! I was busy watching Reaper Season 1 online (I cant believe that they cancelled it - its awesome!) Sorry LEE, I didnt see your version when I posted mine! Guess you must have posted it whilst I was writing it! Still, I think its only right that one of us does the right thing and takes the article down...after you. ;)

Seriously though, it doesnt look like CBM are gonna put either of them on the main page so no worries, lol!
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 7/7/2009, 4:04 PM
Reaper, cool, i like that show! What ya mean its cancelled??? Damn! : (

No worries JOSH! ; )

Damn, seriously REAPER is cancelled????
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 7/7/2009, 4:24 PM
Yeah! I saw an ad for season 2 on a tv channel here in the UK and looked at buying season 1 on DVD but they dont sell it here for some reason so ive started watching it on the internet instead! i looked it up on google and its definitely cancelled after season 2 (which i hear ended on a cliffhanger just like bloody My Name is Earl did!) i cant believe the CW cancel a brilliant show like Reaper but keep paying out money to make Snoresville!!!

Never heard of reaper? I don't think Ant Man could hold its own.

Mmmmm. Any comic book movie is worth seeing..usually..but Ant Man? Never liked the little [frick]. Hank Pym on the other hand, has some layers. You love to hate that guy. I say just make it a Pym movie and have him be Ant Man and Giant Man at different stages leading into the Avengers
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 7/7/2009, 5:09 PM
Uh-oh...LEE aint gonna be happy when he sees this, lol!
spideysweb
spideysweb - 7/7/2009, 5:12 PM
Nope, he'll have something to say for sure..lol

JOSH @ GRRRRRR!!! heh heh. ; )

Reaper was alright. Guesse they didn't have enough boring love stories and lack of intense figt scenes. That seems to score you 9 seasons these days.

superdog - 7/7/2009, 5:38 PM
And by the way lee777 this is bullshite. You were first. And as we've seen on several post FIRST is a big deal around here
adamant877
adamant877 - 7/7/2009, 5:41 PM
I disagree, I think Pym has so many different layers to his character, it would more entertaining to see someone like him portrayed on film than ANY two dimensional "vigilante" super hero!

Let's see, a movie starring Pym could have:
Ant-Man, Giant Man, Vision, Ultron, his wife Janet (Wasp), Goliath, Yellowjacket, Wonder-Man, Grim Reaper, etc., etc.

Superdog @ Its cool man! I got FOXY up in main!!!

But yeah i get ya point! ; )
MarkCassidy
MarkCassidy - 7/7/2009, 6:13 PM
Yo Leee, you get my mail?

adamant877, a movie could have all of those and be awesome..but we both know it prob wont and be mediocre!
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 7/7/2009, 6:39 PM
Hank Pym should definitely be played by Michael Rapaport! A solo movie though should maybe focus on Scott Lang as Ant Man as his origin about stealing the costume to save his daughter could make for a fun movie. Pym could still feature creating Ultron setting him up for Avengers 2 maybe!?

I RATHER SEE GIANT MAN THAN ANT MAN, YOU COULD EASILY DISPENSE HIM WITH A CAN OF RAID OR ANT STAKES

LAME!

LEEE777 - 7/7/2009, 9:18 PM
How'd i get your mail @ ROR lol??? You ain't got my E-mail, oh yeah u can send me stuff on here, damn hope it ain't hate mail? heh heh. I'll have a look dude! Soz i don't really look in my mail weeks on end lol, no one luvs me! ; D

JOSH @ Michael Rapaports a knob lol! No one likes that guy, he's irratating like a rash! : D

SCOTT LANG is supposed to be in ANT-MAN as well as HANK PYM! (Hopefully mainly HANK PYM). An its gonna be a Action comedy! ; )

GUNSMITH @ Why cant he be GIANTMAN and ANT-MAN??

InSpace @ Clearly you have never read an ANT-MAN comic, theres much more than that to the character!

This might of been cool back in the 1960's when the standards of comic heroes were bare minimum - now this just says direct to DVD movie all over it, because I wouldn't waste the money to promote it in theaters or waste the time to upgrade it to blu-ray.
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 7/7/2009, 9:54 PM
BLACKWINGS @ Its the type of movie never been done before! I think its got a good chance of being really good! Especially if it stays on the Action/Comedy route! ; )

Why does the jewish Ant-Man have M&M minis canisters nuzzled up to his crotch?
superdog
superdog - 7/8/2009, 8:01 AM
Cause m&m's make you feel good.
Shaman

Those canisters are also the perfect size for a self performed prostate exam. Two of them together is delightful as well.

LEE: sorry but Pegg would be an awful choice for Pym! im a big fan of Pegg's (anyone who hasnt seen Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz should ASAP) but he's nothing like Ant-Man! He could play the newest version (Irredemable Ant-Man I think?) but he wouldnt fit Pym or Lang. I doubt that they will use Pym as Ant Man as in The Avengers they will probably have Giant Man first like they did in The Ultimates rather than two small heroes (Ant Man and The Wasp)
