Edgar Wright Talks ‘Ant-Man’

From Cinematical:

Everyone seems to have superheroes on the brain this summer, so it’s the perfect time for Edgar Wright to pop out of the woodwork to remind us about Ant-Man. In an interview with PiQ magazine about the DVD release of Spaced, the topic drifted to Ant-Man on the big screen.

Wright confirmed that the second draft of the script is still underway, and that the film will be a, “different way of seeing a superhero origin, because you’ve seen so many of them and we really tried to figure out a fresh take on that story. So it’s definitely a Marvel film but it’s got a little twist on it in terms of the way that it plays out.”

Back in March, Elisabeth had brought us the update that the film was going to be a little light on the comedy, and it seems like Wright is sticking to that philosophy. Wright took the opportunity to remind us once again that he will be playing it straight for Ant-Man — or at least as ’straight’ as one of the people responsible for the Blood and Ice Cream trilogy can be.
