Director Edgar Wright recently sat down with Entertainment Tonight and briefly discussed his upcoming Marvel project Ant-Man.

Here he jokingly exclaims how he wants to portray the superhero.

"I want to make him into a badass [laughs]. No, I always liked that comic and I always thought it would be an interesting thing to see in live-action. That's why I [showed] that Comic-Con test that we did for Marvel, to show this fight scene like a proof of content, like this is what the action is going to look like. I think a lot of people who maybe don't know the character sort of see that test and go, "Oh, right, I get it. It's like an action film," so that's the idea. I think people will be surprised by what kind of movie it is, and so in that respect it's something that I know is going to stand out because it's got a very different story and is a very different movie."

He goes on to talk about the tone of the film.

"Well, I think the Marvel movies are funny, you know? I think generally the Iron Man films and Marvel's The Avengers is funny. They're not ever in the comedy section, but they are funny and entertaining, so I think it'll be something in a similar vein to that."
