Overview
- In a recent Reddit AMA and follow-up interviews, Wright reiterated that he walked away when his draft was being reshaped to fit MCU continuity.
- He developed Ant-Man for roughly eight years and exited shortly before filming after the studio pursued revisions without him.
- Before departing, he shot test footage shown at San Diego Comic-Con and had cast Paul Rudd as Scott Lang.
- Wright and Joe Cornish retained story and screenplay credits on the 2015 release, which was directed by Peyton Reed.
- Parts of Wright's take survived, while Paul Rudd and Adam McKay's pass added an opening S.H.I.E.L.D. flashback, a Falcon appearance, and a larger role for Hope Van Dyne; Wright has said his version made Scott Lang an actual burglar with only a late cameo from the wider MCU.
