Edgar Wright Talks Ant-Man

SuperHeroHype.com had a chance to speak with director Edgar Wright regarding his long-awaited film adaptation of Ant-Man. He mentions that he has completed the first draft of the script in the Q&A, and, when asked about his treatment of the character, he said:

It doesn’t really have elements of an entire strand or series, because Ant-Man is a character that over forty years, he’s kind of cropped up in various different guises, and it’s always interesting to me what elements of the character people latch onto. Everyone seems to latch onto the wife-beater elements. I’m not even sure if I read that particular story. I maybe read parts of it. You know, the only thing is that parts of it touch upon is the whole mythos, and basically, it’s the story about Hank Pym and Scott Lang. Our big spin on it is an origin tale for one of them and kind of like a swan song for the other.

It looks as though he’ll be filming another adaptation, this one is of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, before Ant-Man.
