From the link up above.
No idea why he likes the idea so much. I think a lot of it is he just knows he could have done really cool fight scenes with the size changing power. Hence the out of pocket money he spent making a short proof of concept thing to convince Marvel the movie could work.

Thanks. I just figured there was some story on why he was so passionate about fucking ant man. Then again my comic knowledge ends when it looked like Image comics would pass Marvel.

My problem with doing Ant Man in Phase 3 is that his role in the Avengers has already largely been co-opted by incorporating parts of his character into Tony Stark and Bruce Banner. They clearly know this which is why they are making Hank Pym old and using Scott Lang as the main character. I suppose he could fill a bit of the Spidey role as well as some of the 'reformed screwup' archetype...
Obviously they'll retcon a relationship in between Hank Pym and Howard Stark like they've done every other character. Howard Stark has his hands in everything.

This reply was to me when he originally posted it; before Grimm set me straight, I was of the opinion that I didn't give a shit either, but I can at least get it now. It does seem like a shame, in this light, to not see what Edgar Wright's vision for it was. I am hopeful that it will still be a great movie like all the others, but I get the disappointment, and now share it to a lesser extent.

I heard a little more from some insiders as to why Edgar Wright is no longer associated with Ant-Man, despite it being his baby for countless years.
He actually tried to start this project way before Marvel officially took off with the various phases. Like before Iron Man 1 even. He wrote the script a long time ago with the movie being a stand alone entity, and was unwilling to change it to fit into the "Marvel Cinematic Universe" so that Ant-Man could be tied into the Avengers at some point down the line. He wanted a solo project and that's all. He wouldn't budge from that.
Marvel put their foot down and demanded it became part of the universe instead of a stand alone. I mean, every movie they do (Marvel based) has had the goal of becoming much more. He didn't like their demand, so decided to leave due to difference of opinion.
I'm sure they are going to keep the script almost completely the same, but add in a few things that will allow this movie to tie into the Marvel Universe as a whole. This way it all makes sense down the line.
For this reason I agree with Marvel in saying bye bye to Edgar Wright. Yes, he may be greatness, but you need to work with the team. There's a much bigger picture, and they plan on that picture being that they're putting up so much $$ for each film.

It's funny but every time I see "Good Guy Greg" I think it should be Paul Rudd. There's not a single person in the world who has met or worked with him that says anything other than how cool he is.
