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.

I'm sure thats not what it will be like. I think Pixar showed the reverance to super heroes with Incredibles.
I dont mind the imputs from othier film companies but they should stick to what marvel tell's them to do an stay true to the there stories of those charactors !
Disney needs to pull there head's out of there butts
sum of u need to calm down, ur stupidity is annoying seriously, anyways dont think it will happen if ant-man is tied in with the avengers movies but if not pixar would do a extroadinary job on the film
Well, Entertainment Weekly reports this. No one with any official status has mentioned it so I'll take this rumor with a grain of salt. I think now that Disney has purchased Marvel, we're going to hear anything and everything that could involve both companies.
I feel like we'll hear about a Disney Ultimate Alliance video game coming out soon.
From what both Disney and Marvel said: Disney will not enter into Marvel's world and take over. This isn't about Disney controling everything. They said they will allow Marvel to function as they did before. Only now, Disney makes $$$ out of it.
I personally don't believe any of this. Doesn't mean it's not true, but I just believe that this is an unsupported rumor that are born as a result of this Disney/Marvel deal.
You'd think J. Jonah Jameson himself is running Entertainment Weekly,
The bad thing is that 'plan' can now change. I've heard some analysts suggest that the Thor movie won't get made since it's too expensive. I would think that Disney or whoever is in charge of the Marvel movies will try to stick with the plan but things do change. Ant-Man was never firmly set up to be in the Avengers movie. From what I heard, it was mainly Cap and Thor along with Iron Man and possibly Hulk that would be in it (as well as Black Widow). A Pixar Ant-Man could just be in a separate movie-universe. I just don't really know if I'm for or against it.
I would agree that Ant Man by Pixar would be a great movie that couldn't really tie into some metaverse where shitty plots like the Hulks exist on the same planet. I suppose they could want to do it just to give realistic CGI a try. Pixar's expressed interest in doing a live action film anyhow.
@G-Man: I doubt they'll can Thor that quickly after all the hype and news around it. My problem with that flick is that Kenneth Branaugh would be directing, and while he's done some great Shakespearean stuff...he was also in the Will Smith movie version of Wild Wild West. = / Nonetheless, I have no clue what analysts are saying about that.
As far as Ant-Man goes, I think it would be interesting to see how Pixar handles it, as they are some serious moviemakers. However, I just don't think it would be as cool as something Edgar Wright could make. Even then, Edgar Wright directing it is...well...I like his movies, but I don't think he needs to be given a Marvel property to direct. Then again, I can't really think of anyone else who could direct it. So...

I just don't want this to turn into Ant Bully (which I haven't seen yet).

They won't can Thor when they already are in pre production and have a mostly full cast.

And I'm wondering what serious somber tone Ant Man is known for, really, that the Pixar guys couldn't key into.
" I just don't want this to turn into Ant Bully (which I haven't seen yet).Well they didn't make that game.

hasnt Pixar already done a few movies about Ants and Bugs already ( A Bug's Life, Antz, Ant Bully )... I hope Ant Man doesnt fall into that Cheesy style of Animation... lol

If Ant-Man ends up anything like The Incredibles it will suck out loud, in my opinion.
Which Ant-Man would they want to use anyway? I imagine Hank Pym would be the most interesting character, but too dark for Pixar; Scott Lang could be okay I guess, but he was always pretty dependent on other heroes, I don't see him carrying a solo film; Eric O'Grady on the other hand may be the only Ant-Man I would give Pixar a fair chance with, he was enough of a goofball that it just might work.

That would be freakin awesome.
Love Pixar. I have never been disappointed by any of their movies. I avoided the most recent ones at first cause I'm not a kid anymore. But once I gave them a chance, I was amazed and hugely entertained. I grew up watching Pixar, but as a kid, you don't realize just how good the movies are.
Besides, it's not like Ant-man has any fans to be disappointed if they DO screw up the movie.
If Pixar did make the movie, I would have as much faith in them as I do in Jon Favreu with Iron Man.
movie has been on the drawing board as long as Magneto, so im not a taker on the "it will".
has potential. vague characters usually do well in movies rather than rehashes and sequels, or trying
to live up to something (Blade for instance). this would have alot of leeway and likely make for a good
translation.

If Pixar makes the movie then we would most likely lose the connection to the other Avengers
But I can see Pixar making a really good Ant-man movie minus the spousal abuse
