Marvel and Edgar Wright jointly announced today that the studio and director have parted ways on ANT-MAN due to differences in their vision of the film. The decision to move on is amicable and does not impact the release date on July 17, 2015. A new director will be announced shortly.

More to come.

Marvel's official press release.

edit: Not the Droid You're Looking For with the update:

Variety reports that Marvel has people in mind, but has yet to start negotiating with them.

All that rock-solid confidence they've engendered up til now? They're wobbling it a little. And I don't know why they'd do that.

 

[Anth0ny]

huh.

 

[Sickboy007]

Such a shame.

FUCK.

I guess the differences are due to the film being started like 8 years ago? Such a shame, Wright was a big reason why I was so excited for the film.

 

[DMczaf]

Dat Marvel freedom.

 

[Cpt.Underpants]

That sucks

 

[Marven]

Damn it.

 

[Delta Assault]

I guess he wasn't the Wright man for the job after all...

 

[sqwarlock]

If true, this greatly upsets me.

 

[maxcriden]

Ed Norton (and Jon Favreau?) all over again?

 

[smokeymicpot]

That fucking sucks.

 

[gerudoman]

Wait, what? Awful news, the project was looking very promising mostly thanks to him

 

[Slowdive]

Whoa.

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

Well shit.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Well there goes most of my hype

 

[LakeEarth]

Noooooo!!!

 

[Cyan]

Wellp. So much for that movie.

 

[shadyspace]

Don't mind. His wacky sensibility is mad corny.

 

[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

 

[iMax]

Oh FUCK.

 

[The Outsider]

Fuck. This is very worrisome. Wright was a big reason I was excited about the movie. He's been working on it for such a long time too.

 

[Gorillaz]

Different visions can mean a lot. Usually its some politics.

Maybe he didn't want it to fit the "Marvel" mold?

 

[massoluk]

"Amicable" and "Differences in their visions"

Two words that don't really meld together.

 

[louie]

Goddamn it no! It's Aronofsky and wolverine all over again.

 

[TetraxShards]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[Amir0x]

Future movies I want to see:

Ant Man

 

[Pavaloo]

fack

 

[Judderman]

No. Why?

Don't mind. His wacky sensibility is mad corny.

Fuck out of here with that noise.

 

[Hot Coldman]

feel like I've just been punched in the heart

fucking hell

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Wasn't shoehorning their other properties into the movie enough

 

[lazybones18]

Megaton

 

[Technosteve]

i'm guessing he didn't want to make a pop zoom third act big things go boom kinda film? He did a good job on Scott Pilgrim

 

[angular graphics]

Fuck. Faith lost. I would watch ANYTHING by Wright, but now it's just another Marvel movie.

 

[Messypandas]

There goes any interest I had.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

WTF

 

[blackflag]

I don't think anyone will care about this movie now

 

[inky]

After something like 8 years of talks and "production" this feels entirely too sudden. Man, what could've been T.T

 

[Mariolee]

 

[Divius]

Sad news. Curious to find out who will replace him.

 

[GPsych]

Damn it! Damn it! This really sucks. Replacement better be crazy awesome-sauce.

 

[the_firewithin]

uhhh.............

 

[billy beane]

Literally all my hype is gone.

 

[FeD.nL]

disappointing.

Will be interesting to see who they bring in as a replacement.

 

[Penguin]

I guess pegged another director already, but feel like this would be one of those set backs that would move the release date

 

[duckroll]

GOD DAMNIT WTF. NO. GOD NO. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.



>_<

T_T

I wonder what happened behind the scenes. Wtf....

 

[Diprosalic]

nnononononononononononoooonoooooo



noooooonoooooo

 

[ultron87]

Well this just fell rapidly down my list of anticipated films. Wright is probably my favorite director so it is really sad to seem him go.

 

[Gorillaz]

i'm guessing he didn't want to make a pop zoom third act big things go boom kinda film? He did a good job on Scott Pilgrim

Im honestly getting tired of their "3rd act go boom" shit as well.

 

[Broken Joystick]

So who do we think will take over?
Cornish?

 

[BronsonLee]

GOD DAMNIT WTF. NO. GOD NO. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.



>_<

T_T

I wonder what happened behind the scenes. Wtf....

NO GODDAMNIT NO
MARVEL WHAT DID YOU DO, YOU'VE HAD THIS MAN IN THE CHAMBER FOR A DECADE
