From THR:

Edgar Wright, currently penning the potential (ant) man out, offered a little hint of how it might work this past weekend at the Montreal Just for Laughs comedy fest: as a holiday release. Marvel execs are on the record as saying they tend to prefer the warm months for their releases. But “Ant Man” is a bit of a different breed — the lesser-know character who can turn into an ant and also control insects with his mind plays more tongue-in-cheek than some of the company’s other properties.

Wright said he’s in the middle of a second draft on the script, and of course is set for another graphic novel adaptation, “Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World,” for Marc Platt and Universal ahead of “Ant Man” But don’t be surprised to turn on the light during Christmas of 2010 and find a head peeking back from behind a few antennae.
