Michael Douglas has broken his silence about the departure of Edgar Wright from Marvel’s Ant-Man project, calling it a “very disappointing situation.”
In a video that appeared on the fan website Schmoes Know, Douglas — who is set to star in the troubled movie alongside Paul Rudd — was asked whether he was disappointed not to have the chance to work with Wright on the movie. “I was, very disappointed,” he replied. “I’m a big fan of his movies [and] it’s a very disappointing situation.”

He went on to say that Wright’s sudden departure “happened very late in the game [and] I don’t think anybody’s quite recovered,” continuing, “My heart goes out to Edgar. He’s been involved with the project for a long time, but he’s talented enough that you’ll be hearing a whole lot from him, and I’m sure with a little vengeance.”
Watch the video clip of Douglas below. Ant-Man remains scheduled to open July 17, 2015.
