10 Worst Marvel Movie Decisions

10. Letting Go Of Edgar Wright

The process of making a movie is long and incredibly costly, and there will always be obstacles to get around. Some projects encounter more than others, while some seemingly suffer setbacks at every possible stage. Even the mighty MCU isn't immune to this, as Ant-Man spent years in developmental hell before making its way to theatres in 2015.

As far back as 2006, nine years before the movie was eventually released, Marvel hired Edgar Wright to write and direct the movie. Suffering delay after delay, rewrites due to the way the MCU had changed since the project began, and more than enough release date changes, the Hot Fuzz director left the project.

Marvel eventually hired Peyton Reed and while the Ant-Man movies are fun, when considering the franchise against the others within the MCU, it certainly falls near the bottom of the list.

While the likes of James Gunn, Taika Waititi, and the Russo brothers have all worked to make Guardians of the Galaxy, Thor, and the Avengers some of the most popular franchises in the world, Marvel fans are left thinking what could have been had Wright stayed on. With the passion he clearly has for the comics and the character, the director could have made the film something really special.
