So Edgar Wright has left Ant-Man and I couldn't care less. Well that's not totally true, I do wonder who will be directing this since the release date hasn't changed. We will get the 'new director' news from Marvel any day now. Rumor is Marvel and Wright couldn't agree on the script. I am not shocked by that. Wright has be trying to get this made since before IronMan 1. Since before there was a Marvel Cinematic Universe and due to that I'm sure his script didn't "fit in" very well any longer. Marvel asked for changes, he said no. I don't see this as the huge loss everyone else seems to think it it. I personally think his last movie was pretty bad. Yes SOTD was fun and SP was as well, so I like him 50% of the time. To me that's not a great record. Marvel has made nothing but pretty good calls so far, if they say what he wanted to do wouldn't work for them I trust them. To everyone saying "Well marvels done, they're just going to play it safe and Wright was to zany for them" I want to point out: they have James Gunn directing a movie with a talking raccoon in it for goodness sake.
Marvel Studios and Wright issued a joint statement Friday announcing the news:
“Marvel and Edgar Wright jointly announced today that the studio and director have parted ways on Ant-Man due to differences in their vision of the film. The decision to move on is amicable and does not impact the release date on July 17, 2015. A new director will be announced shortly.”
