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 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 will not be a spoof but an action-adventure with some comedic elements and would incorporate both the Henry Pym and Scott Lang incarnations of the character.
In February 2007, Wright said that the project was in "a holding pattern" while the script was being revised. He also said that he had doing research for the film stating, "Obviously I can’t interview anyone that’s got shrinking serum, in terms of who the characters are though – yeah. Nanotechnology and all that". In March 2008, Wright stated that first draft of the script had been completed and was working on the second.
