12 Badass MCU Plans That Should NEVER Have Been Scrapped

12. Edgar Wright's Ant-Man

In the MCU, Ant-Man has become a fantastic character. From the epic Giant Man reveal in Civil War, to helping to save the universe in Endgame, and of course, being portrayed by the impossible to dislike Paul Rudd. His movies have even become incredibly important to the wider MCU story thanks to the introduction to the Quantum Realm.

However, when comparing the Ant-Man franchise to the likes of Iron Man, Captain America, Guardians of the Galaxy, and the rest of the titles under the MCU umbrella, it does leave something to be desired. Not that they're bad movies by any stretch, but Ant-Man, and Ant-Man and the Wasp certainly fall into the bottom half of the MCU list.

Originally beginning development way back in 2006, director of Scott Pilgrim, Baby Driver, and the Cornetto Trilogy, Edgar Wright, was hired to direct Scott Lang's solo movie. After years of work, rewrites, and developmental hell, the Englishman ultimately left the project, leaving us all wondering what might have been.

Of course, there's no way of knowing what an Edgar Wright directed Ant-Man movie would have looked like, but we can certainly make an educated guess, and judging by his talent, and the passion the director has for the character, the franchise could have been so much better for having him behind the camera.
