In an in-depth Q & A with PiQ Magazine, filmmaker Edgar Wright provides a brief update on the 'Ant-Man' movie. He says the film is not a spoof or comedy, and he's working on a second draft with UK TV writer Joe Cornish (who also appeared in bit parts in 'Shaun of the Dead' and 'Hot Fuzz').
"I wrote ['Ant-Man'] for Marvel and I’m in the process of doing a second draft. I had a lot of fun writing that script, I wrote it with this guy Joe Cornish, who is a really funny UK writer," Wright revealed. "It’s not really an out-and-out comedy. I think some people assume that it must be a spoof, but it’s not really. I guess it’s as funny as something like 'Iron Man' is, it’s on that level of entertainment, really.
"It’s a big, high concept, special effects comic book adaptation, and very character-led and we found a way of… I guess in a similar way to 'Iron Man', the thing that worked with that and hopefully will with this is that it’s a different way of seeing a superhero origin, because you’ve seen so many of them and we really tried to figure out a fresh take on that story. So it’s definitely a Marvel film but it’s got a little twist on it in terms of the way that it plays out."
