Is the Ant Man Still Going To Happen?

I think it's safe to say that there's a few of us that would love the Ant-Man movie to happen.  We keep hearing about all these other Marvel movies and there hasn't been much talk about this.  Is it going to happen?  Who will be wearing the helmet?  Will the ants be real or CG?  These are questions we need to know.

Collider has reported on their partner site after Edgar Wright brought the topic up.

Ant Man is something that I need to return to. I wrote a draft before ‘Scott Pilgrim’ started and it’s kind on back burner slightly just because I’ve been busy with this. But it’s something that I have got to return to. I have to do another draft after ‘Scott Pilgrim’ is done.


I'll admit that I haven't read Scott Pilgrim yet.  Some of the books are sitting on my desk but I haven't taken them on yet.  I want my Ant-Man movie.  At least Wright has a first draft and in the article he mentions being happy with that draft.

Now we simply have to wait...some more.  Who knows what will happen.  Once the final script is written and approved, then they need to begin the casting and pre-production process.  More importantly, who will we get as Ant-Man?  Are we going to see Hank Pym, Scott Lang or Eric O'Grady?  While it seems that Hank should be in the movie, let's be honest.  We all want to see Eric O'Grady, right?  Having a douchey character wearing the outfit would be golden.  The idea of a superhero controlling ants could be a hard sell to the non-comic book reading public.  But a superhero that controls ants and likes to use his shrinking powers to his advantage is another story.  Who's with me?
