10 2015 Movies That Are Destined To Disappoint You

8. Ant-Man

Ant-Man only exists because of Edgar Wright. The British visual genius had been working on an adaptation of the classic Marvel hero since 2006 (for reference, that's just after he finished Hot Fuzz) and stuck with it while the MCU grew up around his tiny hero. Then, just when it finally looked like the film was going to become a reality, Wright left the film because of studio interference (OK, so he said creative differences, but everyone knows what that means). In any sane world his departure would mark the shelving of the project, but this isn't a sane world - it's Hollywood. Marvel had sunk too much money into the movie and had a release date pegged, so brought in the first director they could find and ploughed on with production. And, judging by the incredibly lacklustre trailer, it's not leading to something all that inspired. Now, being kind for a moment, Peyton Reed isn't a terrible director (Yes Man, at the very least, isn't Jim Carrey's worst film of the naughties) and the studio's producer-heavy ruling means things shouldn't go too far off track, but without Wright's hyper-kinetic style and smart visual eye the whole point of the film's existence is lost. It's just hard to imagine there's the same passion behind the project now, which Guardians Of The Galaxy all but proved is the key to Marvel's success.
