I still think it's Marvel's mistake to not colloberate or at least try to with Wright.

Both of those guys have no business directing a super hero movie, much less one in the Marvel Cinematic Universe :wacko: :s

 

I think people tend to forget that before directing Iron Man Jon Favreau's biggest claim to fame was for directing the movie Elf. The Russo brothers who directed The Winter Soldier were mostly well know for directing the TV show Community. I'm really not worried about who they get to direct as long as they share the same vision has Marvel. I have 100% trust in Marvel as they haven't let me down yet.

No one wants anything to do with this project it seems. They should cut their losses and abandon this boondoggle before they end up releasing another Alien 3.

Marvel Officially Sets Peyton Reed To Direct ANT-MAN And Reveals First Plot Synopsis

 

When Marvel's "Ant-Man" hits theaters July 17, 2015, director Peyton Reed will help shepherd the hero into the Marvel Cinematic Universe with a cast led by Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas, with writer Adam McKay contributing to the film's script.

Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, con-man Scott Lang must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.

The plot sounds pretty good! Interesting choice for the director though considering the movies he made.

Some Spoilers:

 

Story begins with Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) being a thief and single dad who has fallen on hard times and one day breaks into Hank Pym's apartment and steals the Ant-Man suit.

The main villain's name is Darren Cross who, in the comics, runs Cross Technological Enterprises, a competitor company for Stark Industries and Oscorp. His cousin is the villain known as Crossfire. It's unknown if this role will be played by Patrick Wilson or Corey Stoll. He will have a suit with a similar feel to Ant-man's but more miltary style, yellow and black in color, and with a tendril-looking apparatus coming off it's back (like with Agent Venom). It's to note that in the comics Cross looks more like a pink Hulk, so there may well be some merging of attributes from other characters for this role or multiple villains at that.

The ANT-MAN suit will be much more elaborate than we've seen so far with the helmet being able to open and close much like Iron Man and an assortment of red lights all over the suit, again in "TRON" fashion. The helmet eyes will also glow red when closed. It's said to be a much more complex and futuristic suit than we've seen so far.

Ants (the actual insect) are the main ally and superpower for ANT-MAN in the film. Lang will speak to the ants via his helmt, just as in the comics, which is said to be a special element to the overall story.

Deadline reports that Patrick Wilson, Matt Gerard and Kevin Weisman will no longer appear in the movie, and though there's speculation that this is due to Edgar Wright's departure, Marvel insiders "adamantly dispute that".

Wow, that's just really bad timing for Wilson. Didn't really care about the other two as there characters were cut off from the script.
