Development
In April 2006, Marvel Studios hired Edgar Wright to direct Ant Man as part of the company's first slate of independently produced films, buoyed by a $525 million revolving film-financing facility. Wright was also signed to co-write the screenplay, based on a comic book series about an electronics expert who can shrink to the size of an insect and communicate with ants via a telepathic / cybernetic helmet, with his writing partner Joe Cornish and co-produce the film with his Big Talk Productions partner, Nira Park. At the 2006 San Diego Comic-Con International, Wright said he was intrigued by the story's high concept and character. Wright also stressed that the film would not be a spoof but an action-adventure with some comedic elements and will incorporate both the Henry Pym and Scott Lang incarnations of the character.
