Edgar Wright out as Ant-Man director

Ang Lee’s movie sucked because he tried to make it too stylized. The others mentioned don’t have a signature style that is obvious when watching their films. Wright has a very specific style which I thought would conflict with the genre. I thought it would turn into more of a Wright movie rather than a superhero movie. If that were the case he would be better off doing what he was doing before. Unless Marvel wanted to do a parody which I doubt they are. They don’t want a Green Hornet. There was no way to know if my feelings were correct without seeing the finished product but it seems more likely now that I am.

I read this post in the Guardians of the Galaxy thread, and I must say, the idea really appeals to me:

If I’m reading the tea leaves correctly, Marvel Studios is going to do a very clever thing, and make movies within the same universe, BUT not make all of them be straight up superhero movies, per se. Guardians of the Galaxy looks like it’s going to be a looser comedy/action piece. If Black Widow gets here own movie, it will probably be closer to a Jason Bourne movie than anything else.

So while it will tie in to the Avengers and be consistent in terms of canon, it doesn’t have to be stylistically consistent.

I’d love to see a Marvel film with a lot of Edgar Wright in it, and if he’s a half-decent director he’ll be able to make something that’s clearly a Wright film without being all him.
