A week ago, comic book movie fans were shocked to learn that Edgar Wright ("Shaun of the Dead"), who had been developing Ant-Man since 2006, had left the project which was to begin filming very soon. Since then, rumors have circulated that Marvel Studios did a last-minute rewrite of the script that Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish had written and what came back was a more generic script. That supposedly angered Wright enough so that he walked away from his passion project, Ant-Man .
Besides speculating as to why Wright departed people have been wondering who might step in and direct Ant-Man. El Mayimbe, who has been on a hot streak with his scoops of late, has news that Marvel Studios Co-President, Louis D'Esposito, who also directed the Marvel one-shots Item 47 and Agent Carter , is looking like the strongest candidate at the moment.
From what I'm told @marvel had two choices. And yes folks I'm live tweeting a scoop hunt.

BREAKING: I'm hearing @Marvel has found a new ANT-MAN director (damn, that was quick). They better drop that news before I do. Hurry!

...I would guess Louis D Esposito batting in the clean up position. Again a guess. Waiting for calls to be returned.

They need a cleanup hitter who knows the culture there. The movie is completely storyboarded. Again, very compressed timeframe to make date.
