If Tom Petty is, in fact, correct, and the waiting is the hardest part, then our lives just got a little better.
Yesterday, Marvel announced that they have moved the relesase date for Ant-Man, originally scheduled for the Fall, up to mid-summer, just two weeks after DC’s Batman/Superman film. Reportedly, the shift from November 5th to July 31st was to avoid direct competition with Peanuts and the upcoming James Bond film.
This is a bit of an odd choice, though, as the film will face a ton of competition from a very crowded summer for comics/sci-fi films, with Star Wars VII, the aforementioned Batman/Superman, Avengers 2: Age of Ultron and Jurassic World all coming out within just a few months.
We are huge Edgar Wright fans here at Multiversity, but fear that this will be yet another case of his films being lost at the box office. Let’s hope we’re wrong.
