Superhero version of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989) could be a winner.

Wright was the perfect man for this job. He put nearly a decade of his life into developing. Marvel are a bunch of morons for letting this happen... but then they've never really seemed to care about their directors other than Whedon.

Yup, I don't particularly think Whedon is that great either, anyone with decent directorial skill could of nailed the Avengers IMO. He just happened to be the one who would sit and give up everything else for Marvel.

 

[Drum18]

Ouch!!!
That's a BIG (sad) news!!!

 

[DylanDog75]

Really too bad!

I've loved all of Edgar Wright's movies (and the tv series "Spaced") so far.

He would have certainly put an interesting on spin the superhero film genre.

Well, it's Marvel's (and unfortunately the fans') loss.

You obviously don't watch any Whedon shows. The script was completely Joss right down to his style of one liners.

They parted ways because he wasn't keen on them trying to shoehorn it into their collective universe. This begs the question if they were always planning on doing this, why didn't they work this out sometime shortly after Avengers, then have him play the role he should in Avengers 2? Seems odd to completely change his backstory, rework the story in A2, and then have this movie come out and fit in there anyway. Odd choice.

Yeah, apparently Marvel hired another writer to rewrite his and Joe Cornish's screenplay and when it was done, Wright couldn't even recognize his original vision for the character. The guy dedicates eight years of his life to developing your character for film and you pull that move? Honestly, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, if Ultron's going to be created by Tony Stark and not Hank Pym, you really didn't need to connect the first Ant-Man to The Avengers.

Seeing as the director pulled out I am not sure how they are going to be able to get it done in time, then again stranger things have happened and it is hard to tell whether or the previous one already storyboarded it out.

[IRON MAN]

It's official, Marvel just announced Peyton Reed (of Yes Man, Bring It On and The Break-Up) will be directing, announcement here

Edit: Lol Franky, a few seconds apart

 

[bloodsnake007]

LOL!

Great minds think alike Farès!

 

[kaw]

Its really hard for my to get excited about this film now. I guess I should save judgement until I see a trailer or the film itself. But Peyton Reed is no Edgar Wright.

I do like the bit of news of Adam McKay adding to the script, He knows Paul Rudd and I'm sure he'll get some great jokes that work very well for him. But all in all this whole thing is a mess... lets hope they can turn this thing around.

 

[Aw 83]

This sounds cool ill keep an eye out for this for sure thanks for the post mate...

 

[dboy99]

The director really hasn't directed anything like this and doesn't really seem like a good fit. And a new writer could mean a lot for the tone of the movie.

From the sounds of it, the tone and style of the movie are going to be exactly how Marvel wants it. It doesn't matter who is writing/directing.

I say Yes Man, Bring It On. Let's just hope this relationship doesn't get The Break-Up or the film really will end up a mess.

Loving that poster.

 

[Drum18]

I'm truly intrigued... Rudd... I have faith... but please... don't just be the smarta** you always are...

 

[dboy99]

Ant Man is my least favorite Avenger, but the poster looks great.Paul rudd is usually really funny but Hank isn't a funny guy.I'm not expecting this movie to be more than a 7 for me.

Today, however, things are looking up, as Reed revealed on Twitter this morning that the film officially begins filming today! You can read his full tweet below.
