The studio initially claimed that the departure was "amicable", but Latino Review has since reported that the Shaun of the Dead filmmaker stepped down because he felt his vision for the project had been compromised.

Marvel is said to have handed Wright and Joe Cornish's Ant-Man script to two "low-credit writers", who extensively reworked it.
"The script came in this week and was completely undone," the report states. "Poorer, homogenized, and not Edgar's vision. Edgar met with Marvel on Friday to formally exit and the announcement went out directly after.
"Edgar and Joe were upset by the sudden, out of nowhere, lack of faith in them as filmmakers. [Marvel Studios president Kevin] Feige had always batted for them but this felt like it came from the higher ups."
Wright's departure is not expected to impact on Ant-Man's release date of July 17, 2015, with a new director expected to be announced soon.
