4. Ant-Man
MarvelWe hate to say it, but now that Edgar Wright has officially left the Ant-Man party, our hopes for this movie have dissipated somewhat - especially since the project has been put into the hands of somebody who we can't at all be sure will be able to tackle the downright ludicrous premise with the same sense of charm and wit necessary to make it both funny and believable. Ant-Man currently stands as one of those annoying projects that existed in a state of perpetual joy for years, with Edgar Wright's name attached as director; it's like being told that Quentin Tarantino is going to direct a movie, only to discover that Brett Ratner is taking over instead (sorry Brett - boo!). So the man now tasked with helming Ant-Man, one Peyton Reed, feels like such a step-down from Edgar Wright that it's near-on beyond comprehension. Reed, who one could certainly argue has never made a good film, clings to none of the idiosyncratic tendencies that made Edgar Wright such a brilliant choice for the movie; indeed, it was likely these idiosyncratic tendencies that presumably resulted in his leaving the project. Whereas Wright was presumably sticking to his guns when it came to the creative decisions, Reed is unlikely to go against the might of Marvel Studios and will serve as a suitable Kevin Feige surrogate. The movie will suffer as a result.
