The Playlist<\/a> about The Running Man, Wright once again looked back at his MCU movie that never was. “You\u2019re not still losing sleep over that, are you?” he joked. “I didn\u2019t regret my decision to leave at all. I had started working on that film long before even ‘Iron Man’\u00a0came out.”<\/p>\n“By the time it came around, they had established the brand, the continuity, and even a certain way of making a movie,” he continued.\u00a0“So the chance to do something really different was going away.”<\/p>\n
Wright hasn’t taken a crack at another superhero property since, and as of now, still has no intentions of doing so. “Several years afterwards, I\u2019d get scripts saying, ‘This is a revisionist superhero movie!’ And I\u2019d think, aren\u2019t they all revisionist now? It would be more groundbreaking to make a straight-up one. So no, 12 years later, I\u2019m still on what I call a ‘cape break.'”<\/p>\n
So, it seems neither Marvel Studios nor DC Studios will be able to tempt him to tell a superhero story.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wright has previously said that\u00a0the only MCU cameo we’d have seen in his Ant-Man was set to come right at the end of the movie. He’s also confirmed\u00a0that the version of\u00a0Scott Lang he and Cornish wrote was an actual criminal rather than someone who only went to prison because he’d tried to do the right thing by exposing his corrupt ex-employer.<\/p>\n
Ant-Man\u00a0was fun, but it sure is hard not to wish we’d ended up seeing this version of the movie. Peyton Reed did a fine job, but if\u00a0Ant-Man and The Wasp\u00a0and\u00a0Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania\u00a0proved anything, it’s that the best parts of\u00a0Ant-Man\u00a0were likely carried over from Wright and Cornish’s script.\u00a0<\/p>\n
