Come man, give us the least diplomatic answer. It's been two years. TEXT: “The most diplomatic answer is I wanted to make a Marvel movie but I don’t think they really wanted to make an Edgar Wright movie. I was the writer-director on it and then they wanted to do a draft without me, and having written all my other movies, that’s a tough thing to move forward. Suddenly becoming a director for hire on it, you’re sort of less emotionally invested and you start to wonder why you’re there, really.” screenrant.com/edgar-wright-exit-marvel-ant-man/

Yes, Edgar, because you were going to be allowed to just do whatever you wanted with someone else's movie that's intended to be a part of a larger universe. Get over yourself.

not really conducive to conversation. all we can really do is speculate at what is or isn't between the lines.
it's pretty curious, considering James Gunn was given the first draft of Guardians back and told to make it more of a James Gunn movie. (maybe not verbatim but that's close to a quote)

It sounds like they weren't exactly happy with his script and wanted to do some changes. It sucks that it caused Edgar to drop out, I kind wished he could have made it work.

(maybe not verbatim but that's close to a quote) it could be because Gunn's films are a tad less stylized, and Edgar is known for his very particular brand of film (especially in the editing), and possibly since GOTG is less interconnected than Ant-man is when it comes to the MCU.

That's why Patty Jenkins left MCU and went to DCEU and made a great Wonder Woman movie that's better than all of MCU's movies.

WB allowed Patty Jenkins to have the creative freedom to make the Wonder Woman movie that she wanted to make and it turned out to be a great movie that's better than all of MCU's movies.

No he is Donald "McHandegg" Trump. Lying, bending truths, living in his own dreamworld and keep repeating his disturbed thoughts in the hope they may become truth. Its actually quite obvious. Donald, did you get the Mexicans to pay for the critics on WW?

It's all for the best: we actually got an Edgar Wright movie in Baby Driver. And so far the reviews have been stellar

Thor:TDW isn't exactly best of the MCU films, but from what I have read, including from Jenkins herself, her idea of making a "Romeo & Juliet" superhero story sounds pretty shite

I loved Ant Man, but I am also a huge Edgar Wright fan. Would have loved to have seen how his version would have turned out.

Marvel has proven they do have a direction, and they do have a creative vision. They aren't just execs forcing directors to sell toys at the expense of bad movies, so the whole "just leave the director alone" argument doesn't work here. Just look at what Taika, Gunn, and Coogler are doing. Wright is the only one didn't realize there are plenty of opportunities to make the film in your own style.

I'd rather have directors have their vision from start to finish. All MCU movies look more or less the same( which is not necesarily a bad thing). So far Wright had only home-runs, and they're 100% his movies and vision
