democratic theatre director Edgar Wright is someone who prides himself on a broad , diverse noesis of picture . He ’s the kind of person that tries to see every movie that comes out . Unless , of class , you ’re spill the beans about the film he was supposed to make and did n’t .
In an consultation with Uproxx , Wright ( Shaun of the Dead , The World ’s final stage ) explained that he still has not seen Ant - Man , the film he and conscientious objector - author Joe Cornish work on for almost a decade , before leaving due to originative differences .
I have n’t seen it and I have n’t even seen the trailer . It would kind of like be asking me , “ Do you want to watch your ex - girl have sexuality ? ” Like , “ No , I ’m good . ”
Wright did see the character , at least , in Captain America : Civil War and differentiate Paul Rudd , a friend he had originally cast in the role , he loved it .
I did say to Paul – he knows I have n’t seen it – I said , “ You cognise , I have n’t find out the movie , and I will never follow it . I did see you in Civil War , and you were the funniest bit . ”
The closest Wright ever come to seeing Ant - Man was on a flight of steps when the somebody sit next to him start watch over the photographic film . “ When I saw that the person sitting next to me was going to watch the movie , I reckon , hmm , mayhap I ’m go to do some work on my laptop , ” Wright said . He bank he did n’t glance over .
As for any communication theory he ’s had with Peyton Reed , the world who take in over the problem and will be steer the subsequence later this summer , Wright only tell this :
I have not spoken to him at all . I think the last communication I had with him is I said , “ Please do n’t just utilise my storyboards , ” and then I ’ve never talk to him anymore ever since .
When Wright left Ant - Man ( which he said in another interview came down to that he wanted to make a Marvel movie , but Marvel did n’t need to make an Edgar Wright movie ) , he start to finish a playscript and theme he had for years : a movie call Baby Driver , which finally hits theaters tomorrow . And as much as I really enjoy Ant - Man , Baby Driver is just on a whole other grade .
