It's been a long ride for Marvel and Edgar Wright. Starting in 2005, we almost thought the film was dead until last year's SDCC, Marvel announced a 2015 release date and it was all good from there. So now we are in 2013 and Edgar Wright has revealed why he decided to leave the film until 2015. Plus The Amazing Spider-Man director Marc Webb talks his latest Spidey film. I guess these 'Nic Nacs' have been rather small... Get it, cause I've done two of these and Ant-Man is mentioned in both and Ant-Man goes small? Get it? No. Okay then, all that information is below, so enjoy!



When asked why Ant-Man had been in development for so long, Edgar Wright (Scott Pilgrim, The World's End) simply replied 'I wanted to do it with 2015 FX not 2005 FX. It'll be worth the wait'. So I guess the film's development was actually smooth sailing after all! Okay maybe not, but still this sounds promising, I think the ending caught my attention "It'll be worth the wait" Oh I'm getting goose bumps already!

Ant-Man is set to hit theatres everywhere November 6th, 2015.



Moderator turns to Marc. Webb says the first movie they built massive rigs 300 feet long to fly Spider-Man or a stunt double under an overpass in NY. They used the stuff they made in the computer as a reference. The human body can only take so much. The reality of the physics is mind-boggling and sort of impossible to ask an actor to do. Now he's talking about villains and choosing Electro. He always though Electro was the most fun challenge of the movie because there's something so magnificent to a creature that can merge and blend. He was always fascinated and terrified by something that could disappear. Peter Parker's so grounded. He has normal problems to deal with and then he has to fight gods. Webb found it interesting to combine those two worlds. He's talking about The Fog of War documentary and having to empathise with the enemy. In order to take on Electro, Parker has to empathise with him.

Marc Webb says one of the best stunts they did wasn't even an action scene. It was Andrew Garfield with a coffee cup. He references Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, talking about the timing and choreography. "You sense it in the room," Webb says. "When you can sit and watch and absorb characters doing extraordinary things."


The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is set to hit theatres April 17th, 2014. The official website is online at at this link, check it out for updates and more!

Yea Ant-Man is gonna flop.

Checked the release date. Both Bond and a Peanuts movie comes out on the same day. Do you honestly think Ant-Man stands a [frick]ing chance against Bond or Snoopy?

Go outside and scream "how many of you love James Bond", you will hear a lot of screams. Then go "how many of you love Snoopy", you will hear more screams. Say "how many of you love Ant-Man", you hear 2 fat nerds.

Marvel Studios is about to have their first flop. Funny thing, the Peanuts movie is produced by Fox and Bond by Sony. Talk about a middle finger.

Electro will be a sympathetic villain (Similar to Electro) But then Rhino will show up and Spidey will be like oh shit... this guys just a straight up ass!

Hmm a bit of slapstick and old style humour in Spidey? It sounds fascinating

@Levitikuz
So one of those 2 fat nerds I assume will be you?
First off Peanuts has no director announced and judging from the state of the release scheduale I assume Marvel and Fox will shift around their release dates and James Bond is released in October in the U.K! HAVE YOU SEEN THE MOVIE TO KNOW IT WILL FLOP????!! This isn't a Bay Ninja Turtles situation, this is a very successful Director doing a MARVEL movie! The name MARVEL sells!

NOBODY knew who Iron Man was before the movie!
@Why so serious
Don'y worry Iron Man 3 was crap because of the dick head alchohlic that is Shane Black and from what I've heard about Thor 2 is only rumors so maybe they just needed reshoots but not a total Director vs. Producer war!

Can't wait for Ant-Man.

IDK am I wrong? For once I'd love to see a Spider-man villain that isn't his mentor!

It's like Harry Potter with every evil guy being the master of the dark arts. It's hilarious, then kind of boring... XD.

@Levi. you forgot that Hucklberry Hound and Heathcliff are being released that same week. Kids today are chomping at the bit to see those! Snoopy? Really?

Dude, everybody loves Snoopy. Snoopy has been known to the GA for 50 years. Snoopy is way more popular than Ant-Man. Hell I may not even see Ant-Man when I can see Bond or Snoopy.

Ant-Man better be delayed or Bond is gonna destroy it, I mean whose gonna see an unknown superhero film (even if it is made by Marvel) versus the sequel to the highest grossing and arguably the best film in a 50 year long franchise like Bond? I know where ill be going come November 2015.

Ant- Man has one of the best directors and writers attached plus it will be coming off one of the biggest box office event that year the other being star wars) plus disney marketing. Im certain it will hold its own. Ill be seeing both, but ill be seeing ant man on the release night.
