It’s been a long few weeks for fans of Marvel’s shrinkable hero Ant-Man;  waiting to see who’d be replacing original film director Edgar Wright after his parting ways with the comic studio.

Looks like Peyton Reed will be officially taking over the production.  Here is the official statement from Marvel’s website:

“When Marvel’s Ant-Man hits theaters July 17, 2015, director Peyton Reed will help shepherd the hero into the Marvel Cinematic Universe with a cast led by Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas, with writer Adam McKay contributing to the film’s script.

Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, con-man Scott Lang (Rudd) must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym (Douglas), protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.”
