Production History
Wright and Cornish originally wrote a treatment for Artisan that focused on Scott Lang as a burglar. Artisan, looking for a family-oriented movie, passed on the script. A few years later when Marvel executives Kevin Feige and Ari Arad asked if Wright was interested in writing a script on any of the Marvel titles, Wright offered the Ant-Man script.[1]
In February 2007, Wright reported that the film was on hold while they worked on revising the script. [2]
In March 2008, Wright told Empire magazine that a second draft of the script was being written. Known for being a comedic writer, the director noted that the film would not be overtly comedic, but that it would be "more of a full-on action adventure sci-fi film but with a comedic element,"[3] and that it would not be a spoof. He confirmed that, at that time, the script included both Henry Pym, as the original 1960s character from "Tales to Astonish", and Scott Lang as his 1980s/1990s successor in the Ant-Man role. [3][4]
Wright says the story is very character-driven, and a new twist on an origins story. To influence his writing, he researched nanotechnology. [4]
Since finished wrapped Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, Wright said "I can't do two things at once, so [now that Scott Pilgrim is finished] I will return to doing another draft of [Ant-Man]." [5]
Wright revealed to Josh Horowitz that they have already turned in a 3rd draft for the script. [6]
In May, 2012, a "teaser" image of the movie was presented via Twitter by writer and director Edgar Wright. Feige stated as well that the movie was "as close as it’s ever been".[7]
On June 28, 2012, it was revealed that Wright had filmed a Test Reel for the film.[8]
On July 12, 2013, Wright revealed that the film's script is finished. [9]
On August 26, 2013, Wright told Collider that the film will be in pre-production in October and will start filming next year.[10]
On December 19, 2013, Paul Rudd was officially announced to have been cast as 'Ant-Man'.
On January 13, 2014, Michael Douglas was cast as Dr. Hank Pym. It was also confirmed that Paul Rudd would play Scott Lang in the film.[11]
On February 6, 2014, Evangeline Lilly was announced to be in talks to play the female lead in the film. It was also confirmed that Michael Peña had been cast in an unspecified role.[12]
On May 23, 2014, Edgar Wright dropped out from directing the film due to creative differences with Marvel Studios.
Production
The film will be shot in Fayette County, Georgia.
Trivia
- Joseph Gordon-Levitt was considered for the role of Scott Lang/Ant-Man.
