Okay, ready? What do you think about the potential of this happening? Would this be a good thing or a bad thing? Ant-Man has been talked about for so long. Because he's not an upper tier character, he's always going to be placed on the back burner. If Pixar really does want to make this movie, would it change the direction that Edgar Wright had planned? He had mentioned that his intentions were to make this an action movie with bits of comedy mixed in. If Pixar ends up making it, would they use his script and ideas or come up with their own? Would it be changed to be a more family friendly movie? Would Pixar even want to do this?
As mentioned by Rich Johnston, Pixar is known for making their own products. It's never been their goal to take someone else's property to make a movie. I just don't see this being the same movie if it was a CG-made movie. Has Pixar decided to change their philosophy? Will they decide to make a movie that isn't mainly geared towards kids? While I'd love to see an Ant-Man movie made, I really can't say if this would be the way I'd want to see it. I would be curious to see what Pixar could do with Ant-Man but I have to admit part of me would be a little scared. This is basically one of the fears that a lot of people had after it was announced that Disney bought Marvel. We do want to see the characters we enjoy made into movies. We just don't want them all turned into kiddie versions all the time.
Since I am completely on the fence over this, what are your thoughts? Pixar did a great job with The Incredibles. Would a Pixar-made Ant-Man movie be just as cool? Would you rather have a CG-made Ant-Man movie made sooner or wait for the live-action version (that might not ever get made)? If Pixar did make this, I'm pretty sure we can rule out Eric O'Grady being under the ant-helmet.
