Marvel's next big feature film has most certainly hit a snag. After the untimely and very sudden departure of Shaun of the Dead director Edgar Wright, due to whats still being told as "creative differences," although sources have also alleged it was due to rewrites on Wrights and Joe Cornish's script, Marvel has been scrambling to find the director to replace him. Among those considered, the biggest contenders at the moment seem to be, Rawson Thurber, director of We're The Millers, Ruben Felischer, who directed Zombieland, Johnathan Levine, who directed Warm bodies, even some rumored that Iron Man 1 and 2 director, Jon Faverau would be stepping in but the name that seems to be at the front of the Kevin Feige's list of directors is none other than Adam McKay, who most recently wrote and directed Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. Based on the director that have been heavily circulated, it seems like we know one thing. Marvel is looking to make a comedic super hero film. All of these directors have a background in comedy with hits within the last few years. While McKay has been reportedly "in talks," with Marvel, there has been no formal announcement or confirmation at this time. With a production start date originally of June 2nd, they certainly will need to have a director chosen in the next few days or weeks. Ant-Man is still scheduled to be released July 17, 2015.
Now that Edgar Wright is out, who is Marvel looking to replace their missing director? (Updated)5/31/2014 Update: Anchorman Director and rumored contender for Ant-Man has allegedly turned down the role offered by Marvel. This is, in a way, not that surprising due to the fact that Adam McKay's only real relation to the film is having worked with Paul Rudd before. Even though The Other Guys, which starred Will Ferrel and Mark Whalberg, had a definite action feel to it, its certainly a stretch from anything on-par with a Super hero film. It's still unfortunate that Edgar Wright has left, considering his film making style is so innovative. More to come as this story develops.
