This has been a pretty interesting week for Marvel movie news and rumors. The next couple years is going to be an exciting time for the Marvel Cinematic Universe as it continues into Phase 2 and gets into Phase 3.

Ant-Man

First up was the news that Michael Douglas is set to play Hank Pym in Edgar Wright’s Phase 3 kickoff movie Ant-Man. I’ve been excited about this movie for years and this just makes it sound better. We already knew that Paul Rudd was playing the main character (the Scott Lang Ant-man), and that the film will be a heist movie, so setting up an older Hank Pym as the original Ant-Man and casting someone like Douglas to play him is pretty awesome, in my opinion.

‘The World’s End’ International Teaser Trailer: A Sci-Fi Conclusion to the Three Flavors Cornetto Trilogy
'The World's End' is my most-hyped movie of 2013 by a long shot. Edgar Wright is one of my favorite directors and I can’t wait to see the final chapter in his Cornetto Trilogy (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and The World’s End).

Rant

I’ve had several drafts of wordy Scott Pilgrim vs. The World reviews saved, but each one ends up being angrier than the last. Why am I angry? Because this is the type of movie that Hollywood should be making for my generation, but it’s currently drowning at the box office and as a result and we’ll probably end up with more Transformers, GI Joe, and Monopoly movies instead.

I heard it best described as “An Epic for the Nintendo Generation,” and that’s about right. If you haven’t seen this movie yet, quit what you’re doing right now and go to the theater. Don’t wait for it to hit DVD/Blu-ray, don’t illegally download it, go see it. It is brilliant in every way, and chances are, if you read this site much, you’ll love it.
