More Details To Edgar Wright's ANT-MAN Departure

oh really?

Iv already have known this

im still bummed about this news but hopefully edgar wright goes onto to make other great films and hopefully marvel studios makes a good ant man film with a good director....james gunn's comments and this video by AMC Movie talk have help me feel better about the situation

I can... Sorta believe this. The only other director that personally approached Marvel - besides Edgar, was Jon Favreau. I think. If not, then Edgar's been unluckily out of luck since day 1.

Devlin-he said back in 06 he wanted the technology to catch up to a point where he felt he could do the powers justice on screen and he was gonna do Ant Man before The World's End but the producer of the worlds end was diagnosed with cancer so in his honor....he did the world's end

I hope they reinvent this movie cuz I didn't really like the idea behind it

koolguy-they arent gonna reinvent it, they are gonna keep that idea ,they are just gonna mesh it more within the MCU then wright wanted to do, he wanted it be standalone and i hope they keep that idea because as i have said before...i actually really like the idea of scott lang being the main character.. i think that was a decision by both marvel and edgar..edgar really wanted to do a version of "to steal an ant man" ..it was the first comic book he ever read and it was close to his heart but i also think lang was made the main character cause this movie started being made in 06 which is the around the same time iron man and incredible hulk were being developed and i think marvel went with lang because they didnt want to do another scientist/inventor turned hero story..ant man was gonna be one of the first phase 1 films so they didnt want to repeat themselves for a third time so they went with a thief turned hero and i am fine with that..i liked the idea of it being this sci fi action adventure film with a comedic element as wright said in interviews and having pym being a cold war spy/adventurer in the 60s as he was in Tales to Astonish and it then going over to scott lang and then both of them teaming up...i love that idea and hopefully it is kept

omegadagod-that was an unfortunate situation.. i liked that he honored his friend and Marvel allowed it..guess they arent as heartless as some people here like to think

So he f*cked Kevin Feige's wife....

omegadagod-they maybe werent happening this deep into production..this may have happening for a while and now they decided to part ways causse they werent meshing well

Sounds similar to what happened with Brave at Pixar. But even in that situation, the finished product stayed true to the original director's vision. I hope this becomes the case.

From a producer's point of view, Marvel isn't wrong. They need a success, not a risky movie. Edgar Wright has an unique vision but his movies are not that successful at box-office, with flop (Scott Pilgrim) or meh BO (End's world).

also i refuse, completely REFUSE to believe that marvel wouldnt let him do his vision of the film and that marvel didnt let him do his vision of the film and that edgar wright wanted to be creative and marvel didnt which is complete and utter BS imo.. first all of all..if marvel didnt want to be creative ..they wouldnt be doing this movie........... plus if they let james gunn do what he wanted to do, they would let edgar wright do what he wanted to do cause Gunn is much more out there and wild director then wright..plus i also dont believe that disney would interfere cause the movies have been making shitloads of money...james gunn has said and i trust him cause james gunn is not beyond criticizing studios , he is very blunt guy but he said marvel does its own thing..disney just help distribute and market the films aswell as get the box office money aswell..plus gunn said on his facebook on the post he did about the dgar wright/ marvel split, that the whole Rocket pulling his crotch shot in the trailer was suggested by Disney and theythought it would fit Rocket's personality so enough with that disney is gonna kiddify these films or whatever....its said that this isnt happening but lets hope we still get a good ant man film with a good director and that wright goes onto do good stuff...there is more happening here then we know so lets not jump to conlusions but then again..this is the internet..

@thewonderer: what are you talking about? Audience doesn't know about Marvel Studios - Fox - Sony, they know 'Marvel'. There are still people who believes Spider-Man will be in Avengers.

What's the point? They have to sell the movie right for the audience. Elektra, Ghost Rider, Daredevil, Blade: Trinity, Punisher, PWZ, F4: Rise of SS are all Marvel movies but or they're flop or meh BO.

I hate so much the first Thor. Too much comedy, too much stupidity. But, from a producer's point of view, that comedy and stupidity have sell the movie to generic audience.

And the James Gunn comparison doesn't apply here.

GOTG looks like a fun action comedy. That is what all Marvel films are. It's colorful and unique in its characters but action comedy is again the tone.

Now Wright makes comedies with meaning and often dark elements. He adds a lot of drama to his films. What with Simon Pegg's character in Worlds End being a man who couldn't grow up and had to go to rehab. A man who let his friends die because of his obsession of wanting to stay a kid.

I believe Wright wanted to incorporate a lot of darker more interesting elements to Ant-Man but Marvel would not go beyond a certain level of meaning and drama.
