Preacher kriegt einen Pilot.

Evangeline Lilly hat über Ant-Man geredet, und nun ja, die Sache um Edgar Wright scheint wohl genau so gelagert zu sein, wie alle erwartet haben: Der Film wäre zu "Edgar Wright" für das MCU geworden. Quelle. Allgemein sehr ehrlich, die Frau, kommt sympathisch rüber.

“We all, I think, signed on very enthusiastically with Edgar. We were excited to work with Edgar. We were fans of Edgar. So when the split happened, I was in the fortunate position where I had not signed my contract yet. So I had the choice to walk away, and I almost did. Because I thought, Well, if it’s because Marvel are big bullies, and they just want a puppet and not someone with a vision, I’m not interested in being in this movie. Which is what I was afraid of.’

“I finally got the script literally the day before I was supposed to go in for fittings…I saw with my own eyes that Marvel had just pulled the script into their world. I mean, they’ve established a universe, and everyone has come to expect a certain aesthetic [and] a certain feel for Marvel films. And what Edgar was creating was much more in the Edgar Wright camp of films. They were very different. And I feel like, if [Marvel] had created Edgar’s incredible vision — which would have been, like, classic comic book — it would have been such a riot to film [and] it would have been so much fun to watch. [But] it wouldn’t have fit in the Marvel Universe. It would have stuck out like a sore thumb, no matter how good it was. It just would have taken you away from this cohesive universe they’re trying to create. And therefore it ruins the suspended disbelief that they’ve built.”
Das klingt nicht nur glaubwürdig, sondern auch irgendwo nach einer vernünftigen Entscheidung, auch wenn ich immer noch einen 100%-Wright-Lizenzsuperheldencomic-Film sehen will.
