We were able to chat with Wright in anticipation of the release. During the course of our conversation, we touched on what Pegg calls the director's "little Marvel film" Ant-Man Wright has a specific and unique language as a filmmaker, one that can be seen even in the brief Ant-Man test footage that was screened at Comic-Con in 2012. Many Marvel - and Wright - fans are curious to see how his singular style will fit into the larger Marvel movie universe. Additionally the, film will introduce Ant-Man to an expanded audience who may not be as familiar with the character, with Guardians of the Galaxy preceding it as a bit of a wild-card property. When asked if he felt that the distinctive nature of this project may work as somewhat of a test of the Marvel brand, Wright replied that he doesn't see it that way. Adding that very little had changed from his original concept, which very much works as a Marvel movie."I've known Kevin Feige [Marvel Entertainment's Co-President] for years and in that time I've always has this treatment, which is now becoming a movie," Wright said. "So the idea has never really wavered. And I I think what me and Joe [Cornish] wrote, and what the people who have read it say, is that it really feels like a great Marvel yarn. And that was sort of the intention, but you will definitely also still see my stamp on it. The nice thing about doing one of these things is that I loved the comics growing up. So if I was making a Marvel movie, I would want it to feel like a Marvel comic."When asked how close the film's aesthetic will be to the Comic-Con sequence, both stylistically and in terms of the costume, Wright replied that the test footage is "definitely a good idea of where it's going.""You'll see when you see the movie that we've definitely written interesting takes on different characters," Wright said when asked what kinds of considerations were going into the casting process, with Paul Rudd and others being rumored for the role."Of course you need great actors, and I think that's actually what they've done so far in their casting is actually kind of been to cast surprising actors," the director continued. "They haven't gone for the most obvious people. I think from the first movie onwards. People forget that back in 2007 that Robert Downey Jr. was a gamble for them. Now when he's the biggest star on the planet nobody remembers that. But it's a great way to start and they've sort of continued with that casting throughout in terms of casting great people, and interesting people, and people you wouldn't expect."

The World's End and the Cornetto trilogy, which includes Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and The World’s End, are available on Blu-ray and DVD now.Ant-Man is scheduled to hit theaters on July 31, 2015.
