Edgar Wright no longer directing Ant-Man

Edgar Wright is no longer gonna be directing the Ant-Man movie for Marvel, Due to creative differences. Marvel is searching for a new director.

Well ****...
He was actualy the only reason i was excited for that movie...
Not a big fan of Marvel all of their movies are the same soulles, not very much character in them and every single one has the ending where it all boils down to explosion and big action and hero and villain punching eachother, even the ones i liked. I am interested to see how long they can keep that up. ...

Dang.
I was really looking forward to Wright making me care for another character I found insufferable in the comics.

I'm more interested in who the new director is. I was indifferent about this guy.

Don't really care. I wish they'd dump his Scott Lang script and give us a present day Hank Pym instead.

Did Wright really think he wasn't going have changes from a studio like Marvl/Disney? Your films need to make money before you can make new ones without studio interference.

Yeah but Wright might have done something interesting with him but we can't have that now, can we?

My only exposure to Ant-man is in the Avengers: EMH cartoon and he's an awesome character in that show. If the one in the movie has as good characterisation as in the show, I'm all for it.

Also Wasp needs to be in this movie, but I'm sure she probably will be.

I was devastated, you could say, when I heard the news.

The reason this stinks is he's been working on this beast since 2008. 2008! He was working on this movie before Iron Man came out. He put his heart and soul into this whole project for YEARS, he spent so much time working on it. And then, because of creative differences, he just gets up and leaves. Or he was kicked. Either way, he departed, because Disney and Marvel wanted something different. Whatever that 'different' is.

I was really intrigued to see Wright's take on the movie. Even if I preferred to a see Hank Pym story, I was excited to see this guy who has made some great films in the past, bring that element to the table when he made this movie. A guy focused more on character development than big explosions or flashy scenes. A guy who would have probably given us a much different 'superhero film' then we usually see.

And that really disappoints me, that we don't get to see him do this. And I'm disappointed FOR him, too. This was his 'baby', you could say. It was finally coming to fruition, things were finally moving forward, when it all hit a road block.

Kind of disappointing, and without the Wright dynamic, I'm not sure what I think of this Ant-Man film anymore. I really do love the character (at least Hank Pym, I'm a little less familiar with Scott Lang), but I don't know if that'll be enough. Or if they'll be able to pull it off.

Wright's invovlement gave me slight hope this one would be one of the few unique entries in the cinematic tapestry so far, now I'm simply expecting another passable but ultimately forgettable bit of gunk that won't hold up in a year just like the majority of them now.

I feel the exact same way, i like them first couple of time but none of them hold up with each viewing it becomes more and more aparent what they really are..

Kevin Feige's vision is the one that matters, and if Wright's was too different, then good riddance.

And so it begins... the comic geeks are no longer making these movies - just the idiots at Disney. That's where Iron Man 3 came from.
