I liked the first 'Ant-Man' way better than expected but I think it was a missed opportunity to let Wright do his thing.
TEXT:
In an exclusive interview with The Direct, Gran Turismo and Ant-Man editor Colby Parker Jr. revealed some new details about Edgar Wright's abandoned version of Scott Lang's Marvel Studios debut.
First, Parker noted that Wright's version of the film had a whopping 15 or so people in the gang aiming to pull off the big heist instead of Lang's tight trio of Luis, Dave, and Kurt who appeared in the final cut:
“His film, it was still heist film. But remember how we have three mains. I think there were, like, 15 people within the gang, the gang that was going to do the big heist. I remember I never got to see his script. But I remember hearing that once in discussions when all the big muckety mucks were in the room... [The heist] was going to be more of a collaborative effort and more of a 15-hander than a three-hander..."
....
The editor revealed that Wright "didn't want any other Marvel characters in the film," assumingly besides from those immediately in Ant-Man's lore:
"I don't think there would have been any other Marvel characters set up. I think he was going to be a standalone. He didn't want any other Marvel characters in the film... I don't think the Falcon would have been in Ant-Man.”
"I don't think there would have been any other Marvel characters set up. I think he was going to be a standalone. He didn't want any other Marvel characters in the film... I don't think the Falcon would have been in Ant-Man.”
