This whole "Ant-Man" saga is getting vastly out of hand, and now we finally know who is directing well we have for a while but it is only now I have posted a piece about it. Director Peyton Reed was chosen a couple of weeks after they sacked Edgar Wright, now Kevin Feige has came out and told us why Reed is the correct choice for the movie.
"Peyton is someone that I've been a fan of for a long time.
People may not remember, though probably your readers remember, that he
was attached to Fantastic Four more than 10 years ago. We spent a lot of
time together… and I got along with Peyton very, very well and he had
awesome ideas and an awesome vision for the movie, and for various
reasons he ended up leaving that movie...'Peyton
was always on our lists, and so when this happened and Edgar [Wright]
said 'Not for me' we met with a handful of people, but Peyton was always
one that I thought would be great.
"It was not a slam-dunk that he would just step into it and
do it. He wanted to be sure that he was wasn't just inheriting something
or following someone else's lead. Or wasn't inheriting something that
the evil studio had watered down to be something bad. I kept saying,
'You can either read what's online, or come in and talk to us and look
at all this stuff.' He looked at everything, he talked with us, and he
said 'Number one, I agree with the direction you’re going in. And number
two, I can add to it.' And he has – the movie is in as good a shape as
it's ever been right now."
