Edgar Wright reveals why he’s remained on a “cape break” years after exiting Marvel’s Ant-Man and stepping away from superhero movies.
years ago, explaining how the experience shaped his approach to major studio projects moving forward.while promoting The Running Man, Wright said he has “no regrets” about walking away from Marvel’s 2015 release and still doesn’t feel the need to return to the genre.
“I didn’t regret my decision to leave at all,” he said. “I had started working on that film long before even Iron Man came out. By the time it came around, they had established the brand, the continuity, and even a certain way of making a movie. So the chance to do something really different was going away,” he added. Wright was brought in by Marvel in 2006, about a decade before the movie came out, to write and helm Ant-Man, but the project evolved as the MCU expanded. He left over creative differences after Marvel’s in-house writers made changes to the screenplay written by him and Joe Cornish. While some of his ideas survived in the final film, the tone and structure shifted as the story was reworked by Paul Rudd and Adam McKay. The director added, “Several years afterwards, I’d get scripts saying, ‘This is a revisionist superhero movie!’ And I’d think, aren’t they all revisionist now? It would be more groundbreaking to make a straight-up one. So no, 12 years later, I’m still on what I call a ‘cape break.’” In the same conversation, Wright revealed he once considered a “choose your own adventure” version of Shaun of the Dead with Simon Pegg, where alternate decisions would lead to different storylines. He described the idea as “more fun to talk about than actually have to make.”Nintendo has already released one big movie and has two more in the works, but according to a recent presentation…Captain America 4 isn’t the only MCU movie hoping to get some awards consideration, as Thunderbolts* is also campaigning for…Netflix’s smash hit animated film KPop Demon Hunters officially has its eyes set on a sequel, with a new report…Fresh off a new trailer, excitement for Disney+ series Wonder Man is being tempered by a new report detailing the…The Fantastic Four: First Steps is officially out on Disney+, and to celebrate, Disney is giving fans a special gift…Avengers: Doomsday writer hinted at a surprising connection to earlier Marvel storylines.
