Ant-Man Movie Will Have Same Level Of Comedy As Iron Man

Director and writer Edgar Wright (Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World) who is also working on the script for Marvel Entertainment's upcoming "Ant-Man" movie, recently talked about his plans for the upcoming film. "Ant-Man" is slated to be released sometime after "The Avengers" movie which due out on May 4, 2012.

It's a genre film. It's about the level of comedy that Iron Man has. The idea is to make a high-concept genre film where it's within another genre. His suit and its power is the big gadget and it takes place in the real world. I just wanted to do something that was slightly different than the superhero origin film. I felt that between that and the various mad scientist, crazy doctor films that we've all seen, this would be a way into an origin that was slightly different. I'm not really a multi-tasker--I haven't done anything since Marvel liked our first draft.

The movie will focus on Avengers' founding member Hank Pym who is a scientist that invents a method for someone to reduce their size to that of say an ant. Armed with a helmet that allows him to communicate with ants, he fights alongside Earth's Mightiest hero's as Ant-Man .
