Is Pixar "Eyeballing" Ant-Man?
Source:Entertainment Weekly
September 7, 2009

One week ago, the Walt Disney Company made the shocking announcement they were buying Marvel Entertainment for $4 billion, leading to all sorts of speculation about what that meant for both companies, including thoughts on the creative possibilities, some more serious than others. As sudden as the news and its impact hit the internet with only a few immediate questions being answered, one of the more interesting news bits to come out of the merger appeared in the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly where it stated:

"Pixar is said to already be eyeballing an Ant-Man movie."

Readers of Superhero Hype! will be aware that British filmmaker Edgar Wright (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead) has been developing a project based on Marvel's scientifically shrinking superhero for many years, having even appeared on Marvel Studios' Comic-Con panel way back in 2006 to talk about it. (You can read Superhero Hype!'s exclusive interview from that time here.) Even so, Marvel Studios has remained mum about any plans to go forward with the project since then, setting release dates for movies based on Thor, Captain America and the Avengers, while neglecting the previously-announced project.

Anyone reading the statement in Entertainment Weekly might immediately assume it means Pixar would do a CG-animated version of the Marvel second-stringer in a similar manner as their hit The Incredibles, but that might not be the case at all. Currently, Pixar Studios is in pre-production on a live action movie based on Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter of Mars, so the idea of Pixar "eyeballing" the already-scripted project could mean they might actively try to finance and produce a live action movie, taking the reins and burden off of Marvel Studios.

Whether or not that will mean that Edgar Wright is in the director's chair is another question that will need to be answered eventually. Currently, Wright is just starting what could be a long post-production process on his third movie Scott Pilgrim vs. the World for Universal, based on the graphic novel series from Bryan Lee O'Malley; that also hasn't set a release date. Chances are that Pixar will be involved in developing the current script further, but Wright has other projects he could tackle if Ant-Man wasn't ready to go once "Scott Pilgrim" is finished.

We'll have to see how this potential news pans out, but in the meantime, what do you think about Disney and Pixar Studios picking up the ball and running with an Ant-Man movie?

You consider it bad news that PIXAR wants to do a Marvel feature? 🤨

Their track record is pure gold, even if I don't care about Ant-Man at all.

Just another thread about people jumping off the cliff... 🙄

Go ahead and do it, if it leaves the rest of us in peace.

ISNT ANYONE WANTING A MARVEL ANIMATED UNIVERSE!

I AM! 🙁

Didn't Pixar sell their name to Disney? I thought the animators and writers from Pixar left Disney/Pixar after Pixar sold their name.

PIXAR is moving into live action now, with 'John Carter Of Mars' and the long-in-the-works '1906.' I like the japanese anime style DVD movies we get from the Asian animators.

reed richards?

seriously though, a hank pym movie (assuming it's hank) would be something i'd watch. i'm not too bummed that disney are doing it either. when they want to, they can make some damn fine movies.

Why would you care who it is?

Hank's personality won't go through (I know he is more than a wifebeater) that much is obvious.

because i'm a hank pym fan.

I don't think they could do any worse than what Marvel would have made.

Thats what I am worried about, the characters darker personality's won't live the right way under Disney.

if disney just sticks to using marvel for media and not mess with the comicbook publishing then there shouldnt be a problem

and that is exactly what will happen, disney basically just wants to make cartoons(avengers, mighty avengers, defenders, nove tas), movies, 3-D movies with pixar,, toys, etc etc. thats all i am amazed at how some idiots are reacting

You people and your knee jerk reactions... facepalm
