Kevin Feige And The Cast Of ANT-MAN Talk More About Edgar Wright's Departure

As we all already know, Edgar Wright parted ways with Marvel due to creative differences. The writer and director was apparently presented with a version of his script which had undergone a rewrite (without his knowledge) to help better integrate the movie into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. When Entertainment Weekly asked Kevin Feige about this, he replied: "It is true that there were disagreements about the direction the script should take. Everything was aboveboard. Everything was done with everybody else’s knowledge. There was a sense of ‘We’re going in this direction, you’re staying in this direction—maybe it’s best that we end as friends.’"

Paul Rudd meanwhile says he was left feeling "devastated" when he learned the news, while Evangeline Lilly's reveals that, "Marvel knew [that first revised screenplay] wasn’t good. They just knew it was in the direction they wanted." It was then that Adam McKay and Rudd himself took a crack at the screenplay, with newcomers Gabriel ­Ferrari and Andrew Barrer later coming in for a final polish (however, they don't appear to have received a writing credit, so it could be that Marvel stuck with the previous iteration or that what they contributed wasn't enough to warrant a mention). "The bones of it is really Edgar and Joe," Rudd adds. "It’s been an emotional roller coaster, but I’m very excited now." What do you guys think about these latest comments?

Would have loved to see his 'quick cuts' style on the action sequences but Marvel never fails to deliver so

Hope the movie is good, the trailer didn't do, sadly, anything for me.

Looks good to me. I've only been watching the first teaser trailer of any movie for the last year and a half. It's been working out very well, and the movies are that much better in the theater.

It sucks that, no matter what happens, this movie will always have the Edgar Wright/Joe Cornish stuff overshadow it. The only thing we can do is hope that the rewrites and the new director give us a solid movie that fits in seamlessly with the MCU.

This is gonna be a Cluster Frick of a movie! Edgar probably wanted it serious but Marvel wanted a comedy movie!

@Brainiac13 The fact people are still bitching that she's "too skinny" is just astounding. She looks ready to kick ass and take names.

What if Rudd's and McKay's script turned out better than Wright's script?

Theres also some photos of her behind the scenes of a Castro shoot where she looks a little more thicker than that. But this inage highlights and shows off her toned arms more
