Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige recently spoke with Superhero Hype and confirmed that there are still plans for an Ant-Man movie from director Edgar Wright… but that it would happen after The Avengers.

“Edgar was in L.A. last week, we sat down, and we started working on a calendar of when to get him back into it once he finishes promoting ‘Scott Pilgrim,’ so I think towards the end of this year, early next year we’d start looking at early prep for that, but certainly for a release date after ‘The Avengers,’” Wright said.

He also addressed rumors about Marvel licensing lesser-known characters to smaller studios.

“I saw that story the other day, and I was pleased with it,” he replied. “It is something that we’re looking at the ongoing cinematic universe and where to go after ‘Avengers,’ which we look at as a beginning and not an ending. Listen, the truth is that there are thousands and thousands of characters. Can they all be movies? No, but when you go and look again at the first two movies that started this new model era. The first one was ‘Blade,’ which no one knew was a Marvel character and never had his own title, was just an interesting character in ‘Tomb of Dracula.’ And then there was ‘X-Men’ which was the top-selling comic at the time for many, many years, and that was done well. So certainly we’re making a conscious effort of looking at the characters, whether they have marquee value or not, are just interesting stories and can continue to define, which is what I’ve been trying to do, almost coming up on ten years at Marvel, to continue to push the boundaries of what a comic book movie is and a definition of a comic book movie,” he said.
