Adam McKay taking over Marvel's "Ant-Man" [UPDATE: PEYTON REED Officially Hired]

[MartyMcFly]

Adam McKay or whoever finally gets this gig is just going to be a figurehead, they won't be allowed to actually bring anything to the film since Wright did all the set-up and Marvel has a vision of how the film is going to go and is adamant about getting it out by the established release date.
There will be less creative freedom on this movie than is already allowed by Marvel Studios.

Exactly. Adam McKay is a talented director but it's not like it matters. He's just there to make sure the trains move, maintain the tone and do what the studio wants and when it comes time to edit the final picture, he too won't be allowed in the editing bay. Ant-Man, directed by Kevin Feige

received reports on Friday that Adam McKay (Anchorman, Step Brothers, The Other Guys), Rawson Marshall Thurber (Dodgeball, We're the Millers) and Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland, Gangster Squad) were the frontrunners to take over the director's chair for Marvel's Ant-Man from Edgar Wright. Now Ain't It Cool News has learned that Marvel Studios has made an offer to McKay and that he is talks to take the job. We should get official confirmation soon, as Marvel wants to keep the project on schedule for a July 17, 2015 release.

McKay worked together with Ant-Man star Paul Rudd on the "Anchorman" films. Also starring in the Marvel film are Michael Douglas, Evangeline Lilly, Patrick Wilson and Corey Stoll.

Ant-Man follows a biochemist Dr. Hank Pym using his latest discovery, a group of subatomic particles, to create a size-altering formula. Though his first self-test goes awry, he develops an instrument that helps him communicate with and control insects. Paul Rudd will play Scott Lang/Ant-Man and Michael Douglas stars as Hank Pym.

UPDATE: Well, this isn't good. Adam McKay was said to be in advanced talks last night, but now The Hollywood Reporter says he has pulled out of the negotiations. The decision is said to be his alone. Will Marvel now go with either Rawson Marshall Thurber or Ruben Fleischer?

The general public, maybe. Then again, nobody cared about Iron Man before 2008.

It might work out for the best.
