Just a few days ago we found out that director Edgar Wright had parted ways with Marvel from what had been known as his passion project ANT-MAN. Over the past few days we’ve heard a few names being brought up and now we have some news to share and it comes straight from Marvel so I’m guessing this is official.
Peyton Reed is now on board to direct the movie with Adam McKay (who was also being considered to direct) coming in to help out with the script. This is going to be an action-comedy and the fact that McKay is staying on board gives me a little hope for this long overdue project.
Marvel’s ANT-MAN will hit theaters on July 17, 2015 and will star Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas so far.
