Further supporting the home release of The World's End, Edgar Wright sat down with IGN to discuss the film and a little about Ant-Man. When asked if he considers the unique nature of the 2015 adaptation a test of Marvel's brand, Wright said: "I've known Kevin Feige for years and in that time I've always has this treatment, which is now becoming a movie. So the idea has never really wavered. And I think what me and Joe [Cornish] wrote, and what the people who have read it say, is that it really feels like a great Marvel yarn. And that was sort of the intention, but you will definitely also still see my stamp on it. The nice thing about doing one of these things is that I loved the comics growing up. So if I was making a Marvel movie, I would want it to feel like a Marvel comic." When Wright was asked how "stylistically" accurate the Ant-Man test footage (and costume) is to the film, he said it's "definitely a good idea of where it's going."
About the casting for Ant-Man, which is said to be finalized by the end of the year, Edgar Wright was asked for any particular considerations that are going into the process. "You'll see when you see the movie that we've definitely written interesting takes on different characters," the director said, as producer Kevin Feige added that there are three to four main characters in the movie. "Of course you need great actors, and I think that's actually what they've done so far in their casting is actually kind of been to cast surprising actors," Wright added. "They haven't gone for the most obvious people. I think from the first movie onwards. People forget that back in 2007 that Robert Downey Jr. was a gamble for them. Now when he's the biggest star on the planet nobody remembers that. But it's a great way to start and they've sort of continued with that casting throughout in terms of casting great people, and interesting people, and people you wouldn't expect." Anyhow, with Paul Rudd, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Rashida Jones reportedly in the mix for leading roles, Ant-Man will hit theaters on July 31, 2015.
