User blog:ADour/Edgar Wright has LEFT Ant-Man!



The Wrap has reported today that director Edgar Wright has left Marvel Studios' Ant-Man "due to differences in their vision of the film." The film will retain its July 17, 2015 release date, for which a new unrevealed director has been hired.

This news are extremely odd, considering that since the film's earliest days of development, Wright was often referred by Marvel Studios as an integral part of the Ant-Man formula, and that in an interview with Empire, Kevin Feige stated that Wright's plans for Ant-Man changed larger plans for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including the Avengers franchise. Feige also mentioned that one of the main factors which prompted Marvel to make an Ant-Man movie in the first place was Wright's story.

What can we do to confront this extremely sad news? I'll say we go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over.
