Edgar Wright leaves Ant-Man film

[clemso]

its so lame. Patrick Wilson should have been cast as a contemporary Hank Pym and if this film does not tie in with Avengers Age of Ultron then its a huge missed opportunity as Ant-man and Wasp are founding members.

Pretty disappointed that Hank Pym won't be the movie's primary character.

My first line was my outlook and the overall feelings of how this turned out. Marvel did not get involved until they got there movieverse going. We may never find out what Edgar script was about and why he took so long.

Peyton Reed has been selected as the new Ant-Man director, with Adam McKay contributing to the script.

The official synopsis has also been released:

I see nothing on his resume that screams action movie...lots of comedy, tv comedy , tho.

[Operation:Mego]

Feige says much of what Wright wrote with Joe Cornish still remains — even as Adam McKay was brought in to give the script a polish.
