When Ant-Man was originally getting it’s director, the film was looking for loyal fanboy. Fan favorite Edgar Wright was chosen to be worthy.

After many roadblocks between Marvel and Wright, Wright eventually dropped out from the production. I was definitely hurt by this news, seeing as the only way to really make this character awesome would be with Edgar at the helm. Not just because I think he could do a good job with the character, but because I would love to see him direct another comic book film outside of Scott Pilgrim Vs the World.

Recently Joss Whedon was asked by Buzzfeed about his thoughts on Wright’s departure from Ant-Man.

“No…Only that I don’t get it,” he said. “I thought the script was not only the best script that Marvel had ever had, but the most Marvel script I’d read. I had no interest in Ant-Man. [Then] I read the script, and was like, Of course! This is so good! It reminded me of the books when I read them. Irreverent and funny and could make what was small large, and vice versa. I don’t know where things went wrong. But I was very sad. Because I thought, This is a no-brainer. This is Marvel getting it exactly right. Whatever dissonance that came, whatever it was, I don’t understand why it was bigger than a marriage that seemed so right. But I’m not going to say it was definitely all Marvel, or Edgar’s gone mad! I felt like they would complement each other by the ways that they were different. And, uh, somethin’ happened.”

With the full trailer and more news about Ant-Man popping up, what are your thoughts ladies and gentlemen? Do you think that the ship would have been better sailed with Wright at the helm? Or do you think the S.S.Marvel can handle any seas thrown at it? … Sailing puns… Let us know!
