Development
At the San Diego Comic Con in 2010, Wright confirmed that his script is an origin story, and that it didn't work for Marvel's chronology to include Ant-Man in The Avengers. While attending Kapow-Con in April 2011, Cornish revealed that Wright and he had delivered a second draft to the studio.
Then on July 2011 Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish delivered a third draft and some concept art to Marvel Studios. On June 28, 2012, Wright directed a test reel for the film. Wright appeared at San Diego Comic-Con on July 14, 2012 to confirm Ant-Man as his next project and to show his test footage. On October 15, 2012, Marvel and Disney announced that Edgar Wright's Ant-Man would be released in theaters on November 6, 2015, after the release of The Avengers 2.
Edgar Wright has since left the project as director, and has been replaced by Peyton Reed.
Synopsis
Thief Scott Lang must don the mantle of Ant-Man set forth by his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, to protect the world from Darren Cross, a businessman and former protege who seeks to militarize the Ant-Man technology.
