Overview
- In new interviews this week, Wright says the opportunity to make a truly personal Ant-Man faded as Marvel standardized its brand and continuity.
- He maintains he does not regret exiting the project and says he remains on a self-described “cape break.”
- Wright began developing Ant-Man in 2006 and departed in 2014 after eight years of work.
- The 2015 movie kept elements from Wright and Joe Cornish’s script while adding MCU tie-ins and rewrites by Paul Rudd and Adam McKay.
- Before leaving, Wright shot test footage shown at Comic-Con, helped cast Paul Rudd, and has said his version of Scott Lang was an actual criminal.
