Today, Marvel has confirmed the news via their website that director Peyton Reed will take the reigns for Ant-Man.

Along with Peyton Reed taking over the director’s chair, Adam McKay will contribute to the script.

When Marvel’s “Ant-Man” hits theaters July 17, 2015, director Peyton Reed will help shepherd the hero into the Marvel Cinematic Universe with a cast led by Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas, with writer Adam McKay contributing to the film’s script.

Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, con-man Scott Lang (Rudd) must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym (Douglas), protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.

Reed has directed several episodes of TV Shows like Upright Citizens Brigade and Back to the Future and comedy movies like  The Break-Up and Yes Man.

Marvel seems to be committed to the release date of July 17, 2015, so hopefully it’ll be smooth sailing until then.
