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

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

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

Shazam is a bigger draw / more important / more history than fukkin ant man

Well......plan C

Eh, agree to disagree. Ant-Man's getting made, Shazam isn't because of Superman, which still irks me.

DC nerfing shazam in all forms of media is a disgrace. Adam ross couldve had him a top ten charactor ever

...why does the phrase "pulled out" remind you of homosexual activity?

idk about that. im not really into comics but i was pretty familiar with iron man. more because of the avengers than on his own though

 

[HipHopStan]

if there gonna make a movie about him they should introduce him to the screen with other heros so everybody can learn who he is

They could have introduced him in Age of Ultron since...you know...HE BUILT THE DAMNED THING! That would've been a great way to introduce him. But Marvel's like " Nope! We gotta let Iron Man do that instead...let's put in those two X-Men characters that we share with Fox too while we're at it. " Hank was an original member of The Avengers for God's sake.

Spoiler

And yes, I know the Ant Man movie is going to mostly focus on Scott Lang

Sounds like this movie is turning out to be a real clusterfukk. Serves them right for picking wackass Ant-Man over Black Panther.

Marvel finding success in movies was probably the worst thing that could've happened to an Ant-Man adaptation. I imagine they were probably more willing to let Edgar Wright do as he pleased based solely on his track record back when they were first dipping their toes into the movie market. But now that they've got a franchise, they feel like they have to pull back the reins. They've got a formula, they've got crossovers to ensure. They're hiring all these good directors but there's certain marks that they've gotta hit no matter what.

Then again, this is all conjecture so what I do know, really.

EXCLUSIVE: Rawson Thurber Passes On Marvel's ANT-MAN Offer - This Is Infamous

Earlier today, we scooped that Rawson Thurber had been offered the job in the hopes of settling down the movie’s rocky road to production and getting things back on pace to hit that July 2015 release date Marvel is still dead set on. Unfortunately, the ANT-MAN nightmare for Marvel continues, as sources tell us Thurber has indeed passed on the film, sending the studio right back to the drawing board to find someone actually willing to touch this movie with a 10-foot pole.

I'm saying..how can you have this big of a public fallout with a director and expect other directors to jump at the idea of filling his shoes? That's like going out with a girl after you just seen her do your homie dirty
