While Edgar Wright was free to leave Marvel’s Ant-Man over creative differences, the rest of the cast remains locked in place. While most of them are refraining from making comments while the search for a new director continues, veteran Oscar-winning actor Michael Douglas has no such reservation. In a recent interview for his new film And So It Goes, Douglas briefly commented on his reaction to Wright’s departure, calling it “disappointing” and that “you’ll be hearing a whole lot from him – and I’m sure with a little vengeance.”

Starring Paul Rudd, Michael Peña, Patrick Wilson, Evangeline Lilly, and Corey Stoll, Ant-Man opens July 17, 2015. Hit the jump for Douglas’ full comments.

Take a listen to Douglas’ comments on Wright’s departure from Ant-Man below, with his full quote following after (via Schmoes Know):

“I was very disappointed. I am a big fan of his movies. It’s a very disappointing situation. It happened very late in the game. I don’t think anybody’s quite recovered. My heart goes out to Edgar. He’s been involved with the project for a long time. But he’s talented enough that you’ll be hearing a whole lot from him – and I’m sure with a little vengeance.”

I don’t expect any of the other stars of the film to offer up their thoughts on Wright’s exit, not until another director comes aboard anyway. Here’s a look at where that search stands as of this writing:
