At a recent Q&A following
a screening of James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy, Kevin Feige gave some
updates on Ant-Man, and Doctor Strange.
"Ant-Man is still going to come
out on 17 July [2015], we start filming this August. Edgar Wright, who I've
known for many years, who wrote the draft with Joe Cornish - much of the movie
will still be based very much on that draft and the DNA of what Edgar has created
up to this point, but Peyton Reed has stepped in [to direct]".
He went on to say that:
"Adam McKay, a very good writer is reworking
parts of the script - not the entirety of the script, but some of it - and it's
going to, we believe, come to life in the best version of Ant-Man that we could
possibly make. Again Ant-Man is a very important character for us. We like that
people don't necessarily know what it is, we like that it sounds sort of
strange when you first hear the notion of Ant-Man, or a hero that can shrink,
but he's a very key Marvel character: he's a key Avenger."
Then came time to talk about the upcoming Doctor
Strange adaptation, and Feige said that:
"Scott Derrickson has been announced as the
director. Doctor Strange is a character that I've been interested in for many,
many years and that I've talked about in interviews for probably 14 years,
because I believe it's very, very important for us to explore every nook and
cranny of the comic-book universe and we've done the street-level heroes, and
we've done the billionaire superheroes [on Earth]. We've now done the cosmic
side with Thor and Avengers and most obviously with Guardians, but there's a
whole other side of the Marvel comics, which is that supernatural side - the
interdimensional side of the Marvel universe, and Doctor Strange is, I believe,
our entry point into that other realm, which has dozens of characters and
storylines all of its own."
