Edgar Wright no longer attached to Marvel's Ant-Man. New director already found.

In a surprise move, it appears that Edgar Wright is no longer going to be directing the upcoming Marvel Ant-Man film. It is being reported that "due to differences  in their vision of the film" Wright and Marvel Studios have officially parted ways.

In what may be even more surprising news, Marvel has already chosen Wright's replacement who will direct the film. At the moment no name has been given but it seems very quick to have found a replacement. Perhaps Marvel had seen this move coming and covered their bases just in case. Considering that Wright was hired for Ant-Man back in 2006 it is very surprising that he would walk away from the film after years of hard work to get the film going.

Marvel wants to assure fans that the change in director will not change the release date set for Ant-Man for July 17, 2015.
