It has now come to light that Edgar Wright left Ant-Man after clashing with Kevin Feige over re-writes of his script and the new direction that Feige wanted to take. I was initially upset when it was announced that Wright was to leave the project as he has produced some fantastic work and I wanted to see him play in the Marvel sandpit. But now when I look at the bigger picture, making a film for the MCU is always going to be different to normal film making due to the shared universe. This is where creative control can not be held by the director of one single film. It has to be held by the person overseeing the entire universe, because a single aspect of one film could rock the boat for many others. The man in charge of that universe is Kevin Feige and what he says goes because so far he has not put a step wrong.
All in all I would love for Wright to do a Marvel film but for now its probably for the best that he has left. To take a quote from Hot Fuzz "It's for the greater good".
