Marvel Apparently Wants Adam McKay To Direct One Of Their Movies; Could It Be INHUMANS?
Anchorman helmer Adam McKay has already taken a crack at the Ant-Man script alongside star Paul Rudd, but he's now being lined up to helm one of Marvel's Phase 3 movies according to a new report. Which of them is McKay being lined up for? Nothing's confirmed, but hit the jump for details...
When Marvel Studios parted ways with Edgar Wright, Adam McKay was one of the first people they turned to for Ant-Man. He chose not to direct because of the fairly tight production schedule, but did rewrite the script alongside Paul Rudd. They clearly haven't given up on him helming one of their movies though as Latino-Review reports that "Adam McKay is in the on-deck spot to direct a Marvel movie. Which Marvel movie remains hazy." They go on to theorise that it could be Inhumans that McKay tackles, and their argument makes a lot of sense. Hiring a director like James Gunn paid off in a big way for Marvel with Guardians of the Galaxy, and you can imagine McKay also being able to pull off the strange world inhabited by the likes of Black Bolt and Medusa.
