And to think if Marvel Studios just let Edgar Wright have control

>>81520598
Definitely.

>>81520598
Too bad he dragged his ass on it.

Antman and Wasp were supposed to be in Avengers, instead we got Black Wide-ow and Bore-eye.

Also if you get hired as a director for a Marvel movie you're being hired to do a job in a manner they want it done, not to put your own artistic spin on things.

I think they learned their lesson. The official word is that they gave Taika free reign over Thor: Ragnarok.

Don't remind me how my favorite capeshit movie could have been better

He would have had control if he didn't dick Marvel Studios over for several years and made it when he was supposed to.

Wasp almost got in. Wheddon demanded a woman on the team and if ScarJo passed on the multiple picture deal we'd have gotten Wasp.

Because Wasp wasn't even mentioned in Edgar Wrights script. All Janet/Wasp related stuff was all Peyton Reed.

It turned out alright though. I liked the 'heist movie' feel it had towards the middle, and that fight scene at the end was pretty entertaining.

Wright's draft sounded pretty lame.

>Scott Lang is a petty criminal who has been arrested multiple times, often disappointing his ex-wife Maggie and their daughter Cassie. He loves them and is determined to win them back, but is still an opportunistic con man at heart, which leads to him meeting Hank Pym.

>Pym is an wealthy and manipulative scientist who created the Ant-Man technology for SHIELD but vowed to keep it away after it led to the death of his wife, Janet Van Dyne. Pym's wayward protege Darren Cross has stolen his company, Pym Technologies, and developed his own version of Ant-Man, the Nano Warrior, aided by Pym's estranged daughter Hope Van Dyne, who blames Pym for her mother's death. Pym has selected Lang to become the new Ant-Man and destroy the Nano Warrior.

>Maggie and Cassie have bigger roles, and Maggie is Lang's love interest. Her new boyfriend, Detective Jim Paxton, also has a bigger role as an antagonist, a childhood rival of Lang's eager to win Maggie's affections after she rejected him for Lang in their teenage years, and determined to send Lang back to jail to get him out of the way. He was originally going to be played by Patrick Wilson.

>Hope has a minor role and is opposing Pym throughout. When she realizes Cross has been driven insane by his experiments, she helps Lang infiltrate Pym Technologies and makes amends with her father, but she's neither part of the plan from its onset nor Lang's love interest.

>Lang's criminal buddies were a gang of eight character with minor roles, one which would be played by Matt Gerald. Luis, Dave and Kurt were featured in the gang, but without their notable quirks from the movie. Luis, for example, only had three lines.

>The main villain, Darren Cross, would become the Nano Warrior rather than the Yellowjacket, and his relationship with Pym was also more mutually abusive. He also had a dimwitted cousin, William Cross, who acts as Pym Technologies' Chief of Security.

>Ant-Man and Nano Warrior fight during a car chase rather than a helicopter chase.

>The tone is generally darker and slightly more mean-spirited, but all characters being noticeably less sympathetic.

>Wright's draft didn't include the Yellowjacket, the Quantum Realm, Ant-Man's disc weapons, Falcon's appearance and the supporting characters as they are presented in the movie and was envisioned as a standalone feature within the MCU aside from a reference to Pym's past affiliation with SHIELD.

Yeah this.

Antman is the greatest marvel movie ever made.

>>81521744
gotta admit I lol'd hard in the cinema. I mean that's pretty inventive shit.

It was good, one of Marvel's best and far and away better than either overrated Russo Brothers flick. Classic Marvel 60s aesthetics, world building, a relatively self contained story, with a lot of heart about family, smaller stakes.

This, I don't get the Wright cocksucking around these parts, what we know of his version sounds much worse than what we got.

>No Luis
>Everyone's a dick
>Love triangle bullshit
>Paxton is a major character for no reason
>Pym is far worse
>William "dumb hench stereotype" Cross
>"Nano warrior"

How can you even defend this bullshit?

But Janet was in Wright's script >>81521723

Not too surprising.
