Immediately after Avengers: Age of Ultron In 2015THE MCU experienced the end of his phase 2 with the unexpected Ant-manfilm by Peyton Reed. An effective little heist comedy that proved to be quite entertaining for most viewers without breaking a duck’s legs. However, the feature film was carried by the actor Paul Rudd will have managed to cause controversy even before its release, and for good reason: the crazy director was originally attached to the project Edgar Wright (Shaun of The Dead, Hot Fuzz, Scott Pilgrim) slammed the door Marvel Studios for reasons of profound creative differences. He was the first in a long line of filmmakers who were determined not to make a film about “…”. command ” for the MCU as is usually the case. Destin Daniel Cretton (Avengers: The Kang Dynasty), Bassam Tariq (blade), Scott Derrickson (Doctor Strange 2) then followed this example.
That is definitely clear Edgar Wright had completely different ideas than those of Peyton Reed for the first time Ant-man. At InstagramThe filmmaker specifically revealed that he wanted to create the character Scott Long a real criminal:
“Having signed a confidentiality agreement when I left, I can’t say much about it. I guess the biggest differences in our plot were that it was self-contained and didn’t feature any cameos from other MCU characters (other than an ending teaser) and that it was much more of a heist movie with heists and heists were interwoven throughout like Donald Westlake’s The Hot Rock. I think the key difference was that Scott Lang (like in the original comics) was a real criminal at the start of the film rather than already a 100% good guy. We thought it would be a more satisfying redemption arc if he went from criminal to hero. There’s a lot more to say, but I can’t do it for legal reasons! »
An obvious disappointment for both lovers of the MCU demand that many more superhero films with author presence turn away from current productions that have failed to reach their audience due to a lack of obvious qualities (Hello Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania and Thor: Love and Thunder). If Scott Lang’s character becomes very small in the meantime, Paul Rudd will come over soon Ghostbusters: The Ice Menace In 2024.
