Seen it which is what drives my statement.

Ant Man was a pacifist who quits the Avengers because he hates violence. It took somebody stealing his costume and him becoming Yellow Jacket to get interesting. He was by far the weakest character of that series.

In fact. Of the 42 episodes of this, he was in the series 25 times. The lowest of the Avengers.

I've read several articles now about Wright's departure and I don't see any Disney heavy handedness inferred anywhere. Sounds like the conflict was with Feige and the folks that have the control at Marvel to make all of this universe fit together. While Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz were great fun, At World's End was very poor in my opinion and I don't see how that type of film making would fit in the Marvel world. Have a feeling that's where the wheels came off, his brand of comedy and storytelling just didn't ultimately fit in the overall story Marvel wants to tell.


Aren't the people above Feige at Marvel basically Disney suits now anyway? Conflict between Feige and those above him, especially if they are overriding him, is concerning.

There is no proof whatsoever that this happened. Only a vague quote from latino review quoting "sources" that said it "felt like" it came from higher ups. It very well could have happened, but people are running this entirely out of proportion. In the OP TCTTS says he assumes Goddard must have left for the same reasons as Wright, only to be immediately corrected about Goddard's situation. Directors and studios have falling outs. The sky is not falling here.

^ According to Devin at Badass Digest, who is as legit as they come, the Goddard situation did, in fact, PARTLY have to do with creative differences. Devin reiterated this just yesterday on a podcast. True, it was mainly a scheduling conflict, but the creative differences made it easier for Goddard to chose Sinister Six over Daredevil. One of the main quarrels was apparently over the lead, which, what-do-you-know, was announced today. So there's legitimacy in Devin's claims. Goddard may very well have been "wrong" in his opinion - and Charlie Cox, who Marvel wanted and cast - may very well turn out to be the perfect choice.

Either way, I was presenting all the info in my OP not with 100% backing or certainty. I even asked - in that post - if this was all a big overreaction. Yet, you and others have continued to come at this in a very mocking and oppositional manner. I just started a conversation for the sake of conversation. There's no Chicken Little here. Chill out.

I see that Ant Man's power is that he has the ability to change size. Which brings up the better question of why they didn't just make what would be a superior "Apache Chief" movie. Size change but also: tracking ability, sixth sense, speaks to animals...I suggest you watch the episode "Revenge on Gorilla City" to gain more insight.

So Wright is now looking at a different Disney project?

Maybe it was creative differences with Feige.

^ The Night Stalker thing is a pretty old project. Lots of people saying Wright hasn't been associated with it for a while now, and hasn't returned to it, despite Deadline's reporting. If you read between the lines, it reads as speculation more than reporting, anyway.

Wait to judge Marvel's decisions until I see Avengers 2 and Guardians of the Galaxy.. cause so far they are batting 1.000 and until they clearly strike out.. who is to judge.

Phase III Note: don't care about Doctor Strange.. but really want an awesome Captain Marvel movie... my girls need a female hero that is equal to the boys.. and DC will never make a good Wonder Woman movie.

To be clear I meant Carol Danvers's Capt Marvel.. which is my daughter favorite character right now.

It's happening, Ambres. There's a very strong rumor that she shows up in Avengers 2 to some capacity, and will then have a solo movie in phase 3. There's even a completed script out there, ready to go, apparently.

I hope that is the case. Carol Danvers is a great character.

Actually, this is the Captain Marvel from when I was collecting comics back in the 80's:



She even led the Avengers for quite a while....

schmendeler - that's the DC comics Captain Marvel, not the Marvel Cpt Marvel. Though up until this point, I never realized there was a character by the same name in both universes and that's it's the same name as one of the universes...

DC let the name lapse and marvel took it and made a completely different character.

Scott Derickson of Sinister and Exorcism of Emily Rose Fame is reported to direct Doctor Strange. Could allow Marvel to take a darker path for this film



Also some are saying that Marvel is interested in Jared Leto to portray him.

Marsuvees, how would you, or anyone, rate those movies? Heard good things about Emily Rose, and mixed things about Sinister from friends. Just trying to get a feel for how other people feel about him and his style.

I personally loved sinister, can't say anything Emily rose. Sinister didn't really shy away from dark content so I think marvel would not be afraid to go down that direction. I saw his upcoming film deliver from evil with Eric Bana that comes out in two months. I had a long day at work at kind of fell asleep but I definitely enjoyed the parts I was awake for.

Good friend of mine knows Derickson fairly well. Will hopefully get some behind-the-scenes info as this one ramps up.

This is probably just me, but every time I see Leto, I think of Hiddleston.

Marsuvees, just saw a trailer, looking forward to it! I will definitely get sleep tho haha

Marsuvees, where did you see Deliver Us from Evil? My buddy was on set throughout the shoot and has seen it a few times already. Says Joel McHale steals the show as a badass cop or something, and has been the highest-scoring aspect in all the test screenings. Yet they're not even showing him in the trailers. Were you in one of those test screenings?

Actually, that just gave me an idea... Joel McHale for Dr. Strange.
