Opinions aside, most people seem
to agree that directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord would be a great fit to fill
in the void left by Edgar Wright in Marvel's Ant-Man. Well the director have
spoken, and not only they do not want to do Ant-Man, but they say it should be
Edgar or no one at all.
“It seems like a tough person’s shoes to step into, you know what I mean?”
Miller said on the prospect. “It’s tough to have that as the specter hanging
over, what would have been, and what could have been. It seems kind of tough.”
Well, just because something is tough doesn’t mean you can’t take on the
challenge, right?
“We’re fans and buddies of Edgar, so…” Miller continued.
“It would be like Spielberg making ‘A.I.’ It’s like, I don’t know what to
do with it,” Lord added on the prospect. “This guy’s a genius, I feel strange.”
The duo was then, asked who they think should do
the movie, and they answered.
“A logical choice would be Edgar Wright… To finish an
Edgar Wright film,” Lord said, laughing. “I mean, Joe Cornish, that would make
a lot of sense. Or if they, like, decided to abandon ship and try again years
from now it would make more sense.”
The problem is
that Marvel doesn't seem to want to wait years to bring Ant-Man to the big
screen, primarily because, and I'm just assuming, pulling a movie out, this
late in the game would cause problems in the overall storyline of the MCU, so
it isn't a surprise that Marvel is trying anything and everything to find a
director sooner rather than later, and with that…
News comes that
a new director has found his way into the top of the list of potential
candidates to helm Ant-Man. Sources tell The Wrap that Yes Man and New Girl
director Peyton Reed is currently the frontrunner to direct Marvel's most troublesome
property to date.
Mr. Reed is
better known for his work on tv like Mr. Show with Bob and David, or the
Upright Citizens Brigade, but he has some big screen hits under his belt as
well, like The Break-Up, which grossed over $200 million and Yes Man, which
managed to gross $223 million worldwide.
So what does
this mean? Well, if Marvel still insists on having Ant-Man make his big screen
debut on July 17th, 2015 and if Wrap's source is to be believed, maybe Payton
Reed will be the man for the job, if he accepts it, of course.
What do you
think?
