Kevin Feige Talks THE AVENGERS and ANT-MAN

Maybe this is why I cannot get excited for The Avengers. I grew up with the bloated/anyone can be an Avengers and without mainstays from my childhood like Quicksilver/Scarlet Witch/Wonder Man and the freaking Vision it just doesn't have that draw for me. I get it, it's hard enough to fit the current lineup into a 2 hour flick, but it just don't feel right to me.

this is interesting and I have to think it's going to happen sooner rather than later...

Hey U Guys caught up with the forthright executive at that European premiere, and asked about Ant-Man, which has been in development under the stewardship of Edgar Wright for several years now. Feige responded:


“It’s as close as it’s ever been. Edgar is getting excited to get behind the camera again and start some advanced prep work for Ant-Man… We are going to take some forward steps in a few months that will bring it closer than ever. In terms of release date, I don’t know.”

Later he refers to Ant-Man as The Edgar Wright Show, which is a) great news for the movie and, b) a late night show I would watch every night. (I’ll start a petition after I post this article.) Feige recently told us to “pay attention to [Wright's] tweets in the coming months,” so either Ant-Man truly is finally coming together, or Feige is getting our hopes up way too high.

I don't disagree with anything that guy says necessarily, but at this point I think it's ridiculous to expect Marvel, DC or any big company to go back and reimburse someone like Jack Kirby.

I'm actually more disturbed by Roberson quitting DC because, apparently, they're still doing **** like that to creators today than I am about having done it to Alan Moore.

Meanwhile no link, but cobble together that 'secret additional scene' and Kevin Feige's comments about Edgar Wright (he hasn't filmed anything for us but watch his tweet cause that could change) have lots of people speculating that there will be an Ant Man cameo in the Avengers movie. Also uncomfirmed, Nathan Fillion was seen hanging out with RDJ. I don't normally post stuff that is so 'loose' but that's like a fanboy's dream stuff there.

Ok, maybe they learned nothing from Iron Man 2:The curse of multiple villains.

Nathan Fillion as Ant Man?? Wow. That would be interesting especially since Castle has seemingly jumped the shark.

this'll please Adgy...
