Edgar Wright is no longer directing Ant-Man. Boooooo. Now 83% less interested.
Wonder what they did to piss him off.

He's been working on it for years, and was also writing the script with Joe Cornish. Seeing as it's supposed to be out next year, it must have been some big last minute falling out. The statement says a difference of vision. Which is odd, Marvel must have known for ages what Wright was going to do. I reckon they got cold feet and were trying to hem him in.
That's a shame, the test reel he did looked great.
