This is kind of a necessary evil of the film criticism industry: now that Edgar Wright has a new movie in theaters  —  Baby Driver is really fun! You should go see it!  —  it was only a matter of time before someone asked the director for clarification on his decision to leave Marvel’s Ant-Man. In hindsight, Wright was always something of an odd choice for a Marvel movie. A visionary and idiosyncratic filmmaker, Wright was probably always a bad meeting away from the fabled “creative differences” dissolution, and when he left the project in 2014, fans were upset but not exactly surprised. Therefore, someone was always going to ask Wright during a Baby Driver interview to explain his decision to leave the film.

Ant-Man might be the Marvel headliner with the shortest (heh) shrift; unceremoniously introduced at the end of Phase 2, and given a thankless return in Civil War. You might say he and The Wasp are busy gearing up for a sequel, but Disney XD has helpfully stepped in to bring new Ant-Man animated shorts to TV as early as next month.

With Peyton Reed serving as a fine replacement for Edgar Wright on Ant-Man, fans are curious to see what the Marvel director can do with next year’s Ant-Man and the Wasp. Despite the smaller (get it?) stakes of the first film, it’s worth noting that the sequel will be the first Marvel move to have a female co-star named in the title. That’s both exciting and disappointing for fans, especially those who wonder why Scarlett Johansson still hasn’t been given her own le Carré-esque superhero spy story. Will Ant-Man and the Wasp live up to its promise, or will it be another supporting role for a female superhero?
