Marvel has decided that Summer is the best time for new superheroes, as they’ve announced that the first Phase Three movie, Ant-Man, has move from a November 6th, 2015 release to July 31st, 2015. This means it will hit cinemas just a couple of months after The Avengers: Age of Ultron arrives on May 1st, 2015.
As of now, Ant-Man’s only box office competitor on that date is Fox’s adaptation Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, directed by Tim Burton. There are no specific plot details known about Ant-Man, although it will presumably cover the origin of Hank Pym’s transformation into the title character, so can change from normal size to tiny.
Edgar Wright is directing from a screenplay he co-wrote with Joe Cornish (Attack the Block). He’s promised a different kind of Marvel movie, and while he’s said it will standalone, the move in release date will have many wondering if it’s more closely tied to Avengers 2 than it’s so far been revealed.
