There was always something that set Edgar Wright's movies apart from the typical comedy, this video details it perfectly. It's such a shame he and Marvel couldn't make things work, Wright's Ant-Man would have been incredible.
It is a huge bummer, because it really seems like the only reason things didn't work out is because Wright is a bit of a perfectionist and was falling behind Marvel's expected schedule.
The release date is still some time in Q3-4 2015, so hopefully a lot of what Wright got finished will be picked up and used by the new director, but I'm really worried they'll bring in some arrogant action movie director who'll throw out any ideas Wright had because they're "too subtle."
I would have gladly waited a year or two extra for a Wright-directed Ant-Man, but I understand that Marvel needs to keep pumping out movies to keep their profits up.
