Peyton Reed replaces Edgar Wright on Ant-Man, official synopsis released

June 7, 2014 by Gary Collinson

Well, the search is over…

After being turned down by Adam McKay (Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues) and Rawson Marshall Thurber (We’re the Millers), Marvel Studios has finally secured a replacement for Edgar Wright on Ant-Man, with Peyton Reed (The Break-Up) signing on to direct. Meanwhile Adam McKay will also contribute to the script, which has originally been written by Wright and Joe Cornish.

In addition to the news, Marvel has also released an official synopsis for the film, which reads as follows…

Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, con-man Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.

Ant-Man is set for release on July 17th 2015, with Rudd and Douglas joined in the cast by Patrick Wilson (Watchmen), Evangeline Lilly (The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug), Corey Stoll (House of Cards), Matt Gerald (Escape Plan) and Michael Pena (American Hustle).
