Ant-Man was a pet project for Edgar Wright. He been wanted to do this movie for so long since 2006 (well actually 2003)

It took him so many years to finally get Ant-Man on the roll in 2013! He envisioned Ant-Man as a Heist Movie. He pick Scott Lang as MCU Ant-Man because he like the character I guess. He was going to directed the movie but at May 23, 2014. Marvel Studios announced Edgar Wright left Ant-Man because the creative difference between him and Marvel Studios.

Edgar Wright NEVER revealed of why he left Ant-Man and there so many reason of why he left the movie

He left the movie because he wanted Ant-Man to be a Stand-Alone film where there NO mention of Avengers, No Falcon scene, No reference to Sokovia or anything! But Marvel Studios didn't like this idea because it wouldn't make sense

According to Evangeline Lilly, Edgar Wright wanted a CLASSIC Ant-Man! What he trying to say that he basically wanted Ant-Man to feel like Michael Keaton's Batman or Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man. But it would be too cheesy for MCU since Majority of MCU Movies are more realistic than Michael Keaton's Batman or Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man

We will never know what was the story of Ant-Man if Edgar Wright didn't QUIT Ant-Man.

Well there some part of Edgar Wright's Ant-Man script

1. Darren Cross was going to be called "Nano Warrior" which doesn't exist in Marvel Comics. I wonder if Nano Warrior was the one that originally Hank Pym and Scott Lang going to steal before replacing with Yellowjacket

2. William Cross/Crossfire was going to appear in this movie and would played by Patrick Wilson

3. Hope's Role was WAY SMALLER (No Pun Intended)

4. Wasp wasn't included in Edgar Wright's script beside the mention from Hank Pym

5. There was a Car Chase Sequence

By the way, Michael Douglas wasn't Edgar Wright's first choice as Hank Pym. His first choice was Steve Buscemi. Could you imagined Hank Pym being played by Steve Buscemi?

So what do you think the reason of why Edgar Wright quit the movie?
