So I don't Know if you know this, but Disney acquired Marvel. Shortly after many rumors started about projects that were going to be in development. The most popular and most favored report was that Ant-Man was going to be made by Pixar and Entertainment weekly said, “Pixar already has their eye on Ant-Man.” But the director doesn't think so.
Edgar Wright, the director of Ant-Man released this statement:
“I just spoke to Kevin Feige for the first time since I wrapped and we are meeting this week to discuss the next phase,” wrote Wright. “The news that Pixar is involved is not wholly accurate and a little premature to comment on. I love Pixar’s work more than anyone and indeed would love to collaborate with them.”
It was pretty obvious that this was a rumor made to make people happy about Marvel and Disney and turned into big news. I really hoped it was true, but when the director says it isn't that usually means it isn't. Many people have also believed that the project will never be made, or that it will be made after The Avengers in 2012. Wright had this to say in regards to the project:
“It’s true that the character is not considered one of the Marvel brand leaders and that is precisely what excites me about it. I want to make a film inside the Marvel Universe that is something a little different; a genre film within the superhero genre so to speak,” says Wright. “My spin on Ant Man is very different than a straight superhero origin - and very much live action. At some point in this century, I intend to stop talking about it and make the damn thing.”
So what do you think? Was it a good idea to have Pixar make this? Should they find a director that really wants to make the movie? Will this movie ever be made? Discuss it all and more below.
