Director Edgar Wright has denied rumours that Pixar is connected to his Ant-Man film project.
Wright - who is currently working on a movie adaptation of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s Scott Pilgrim - told CHUD that the rumours of Pixar’s involvement in Ant-Man were unfounded.
"I am still attached to Ant-Man and indeed am still working on a second draft with Joe Cornish," he said. "That had to take a back seat while I worked on Scott Pilgrim, but am keen to get back into it once I get into post.
"The news that Pixar is involved is not wholly accurate and a little premature to comment on. I love Pixar's work more than anyone and indeed would love to collaborate with them.
"It's true that the character is not considered one of the Marvel brand leaders and that is precisely what excites me about it. I want to make a film inside the Marvel Universe that is something a little different; a genre film within the superhero genre so to speak.
"My spin on Ant-Man is very different than a straight superhero origin - and very much live action.
"At some point in this century, I intend to stop talking about it and make the damn thing."
