But Pixar already made Incredibles and Bug’s Life.

And I’d hate to see some of the best story-tellers out there start not doing their own stories.

Is it me or does the idea of an Antman movie seem more ridicules than the silly fake Aquaman movie by James Cameron on the show Entourage?

PS. I’m sick of superhero movies.

YES!!

Pixar and Ant Man are a match made in heaven. Crazy science, shifts in perspective, humour, etc..

This would be like The Incredibles with a dash of A bug’s Life.

please please make this happen

The ‘revolt’ thing was a general reference to the Marvel fans being worried about the Disney takeover and not specifically to Ant-Man.

My bad.

I would agree with Ed in that I don’t know that there were any fan boys to be crushed by this. Antman is pretty minimal in the Marvelverse. In fact the character of Dr. Henry Pym is more important than any of his specific alter egos (Antman/Giantman/etc). Pym could show up as a character in an Avengers movie pretty easily and I think he would work better as a non-costumed scientist/engineer/egghead type. He could be like a Doc Samson.

“f they do an Ant-Man movie to set him up for Avengers, how in the hell will that CG Ant-Man mesh with a live-action Avengers?”

Except they’re NOT setting him up for Avengers. He’s not going to be in it.

Yet another point that makes a Pixar Ant-Man unfathomable: if they do an Ant-Man movie to set him up for Avengers, how in the hell will that CG Ant-Man mesh with a live-action Avengers?

I look forward to whatever Edgar Wright is doing. Now that his take seems more unlikely than ever before I’m back to thinking Ant-Man is a ridiculous idea (unless another awesome director gets on board).

Fanboys of what? Marvel?

I’m going to go out on a limb and say “Ant-Man” does not have much of a fanboy-fanbase… He’s been around for a while – a part of the Avengers for some time – but essentially, he’s an alcoholic, wife-beater in a red unitard and a goofy helmet that talks to bugs and shrinks…

…Holy shit! This WOULD be an awesome movie!!!
