Ant-Man Director Describes the Character's Arc

Edgar Wright, whose The World's End wowed critics and audiences when it opened over the weekend, has raised the cone of silence somewhat on Ant-Man, his Marvel Comics adaptation due out in 2015 and one of the next movies to go into production from the studio. Asked whether it bothered him to be working on a character with decades of history, given his oft-stated preference for films that move forward rather than looking back, he said no. "You know what, like because there's never been a film adaptation of that character, I think it's OK," Wright told CinemaBlend. "If it was a remake of a film from 30 years ago, then I would be a hypocrite, but because it's never been made into a movie ever. And also, to be honest, there are elements in that script that actually do continue themes from the other movies, an unlikely hero, a chance at redemption, and so, it's not something, it's going to be, it will be different, but I think it will still feel like one of my films. " So, it sounds like he won't be the next guy for a Superman or Spider-Man movie...!
