Ant-Man is now offcially "Iron Man 2 status" - Edgar Wright drops out due to "creative differences"

[Piff Perkins]

Marvel is just interested in making films that are essentially two and a half hour music videos, quality wise. Non stop editing, non stop action. The point is to produce spectacles that are "events" not necessarily good films.

The news Kind of reminds me of the comic book industry as a whole

word. one writer hops on a new book or an old book and the fans get excited....said writer makes all these moves with the studio...months later, writer is gone and they always cite creative differences. It's not a huge deal to me because it's the nature of the beast. It's just funny to me because fanboys act like Marvel Studios isn't like any other studio in Burbank, as if they don't have money hungry execs and producers who impose their will on directors. There's a reason there have only been a few directors asked to come back to projects with Marvel

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Souch panic in here

For what it's worth, I didn't think Shaun of the Dead and Scott Pilgrim were that great..... Decent at best but films that were one and done to me

So I guess good riddance

Shouts to Alex Ross revitalizing Shazam in the early 2000s OH WAIT THAT NEVER HAPPENED

Well there goes my excitement for this movie. I only cared about it because of Wright. Hope the new guy is someone interesting with a decent track record.

 

[Bryan Danielson]

I was already skeptical going in when I heard he was making this as I wasn't too crazy of his past work so for me it's hearing this news

Yep I said the same about a month ago

Marvel movies are the equivalent to "fast food", being continuously pumped out to give a quick fills to a hungry audience. It's not really them, it's the mouse. Feige probably wanted a formulaic third act plus all the shared universe tie-ins and Wright probably told him to . Star Wars movies about to go the same way as well.

 

[TheGodling]

What's weird about this is that Wright pretty much brought the project to Marvel, he wrote down the entire story concept and pitched it to Marvel,who gave him green light. How they went from that to disagreeing over how the movie is coming along probably means Marvel was trying to strong arm Wright into this shared universe bullshyt.

No thanks then...

 

[RAX 010]

Iron Man 2 was dope tho

 

[ShaDynasty]

He should make Shaun Of The Dead 2 instead.

 

[Roaden Polynice]

Shame I was actually looking forward to this.

Now it's gonna have that "Marvel feel" that's all of their movies.

Plus the cornetto trilogy is classic

 

[AnonymityX1000]

Yeah this is bad news but I'm not down on Marvel, Winter Soldier was real dope.

 

[THE 101]

THIS is what I want to see from Marvel.

Shaun of the Dead is a classic, man. I could rewatch that movie a billion times.
