Joe Cornish and I had written the script long before <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.superherohype.com\/tag\/marvel\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Marvel;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Marvel<\/a> became as huge as it did, our screenplay existed before Iron Man came out. But when we came to make it in 2014 \u2013 they had an established house style, a way of working, and a continuity that didn\u2019t really fit with the more left-field heist movie we\u2019d written. So I knew it was time to leave, because our draft we loved was fading away, and I thought it better if someone else did it. I have never seen the film to this day, but don\u2019t regret leaving.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">After Baby Driver, Wright then went on to helm the 2021 documentary The Sparks Brothers and Last Night in Soho, which was also released in 2021.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Now, Wright directs The Running Man, a new action thriller movie that opens in United States theaters this coming weekend. The film is an adaptation of Stephen King\u2019s 1982 novel of the same name, which was previously turned into a 1987 movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. The cast of Wright\u2019s flick includes Glen Powell, Josh Brolin, Colman Domingo, and William H. Macy, among others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Running Man director Edgar Wright is opening up about the \u201creal\u201d reason as to why he left Ant-Man.
