Originally it had Shaun of the Dead director and scribe Edgar Wright and Joe Corish attached to direct and write the film for almost 8 years until the recent departure from them due to the fact their film was more a stand-alone, When Marvel on the other hand wanted Ant-Man to fit into their newly created cinematic universe. While after a short but hard search for a replacement director Marvel has chosen longtime comic book fan and director of Yes Man Peyton Reed to take over for Edgar Wright. As well as Anchorman director Adam McKay to tweak the script.
