The root of Edgar Wright and Marvel Studios parting ways was creative differences. Long before the MCU launched into the successful franchise that it is today, Wright was hard at work on his Ant-Man script. But once Marvel figured out where it would fit in their cinematic universe, Wright felt that his hard work would be undone. Of course the idea of Wright directing a film like Ant-Man excited fans, and once he left, it upset them. Most wanted to point the blame at Marvel. The truth of it all probably won’t come out until after the film’s release, or maybe when someone writes an in-depth piece on the matter, but Evangeline Lilly is shedding some light on the matter. In an interview with Buzzfeed, she explains how she nearly left the project after Wright’s departure, but also what made her stay, and how the rewrites from Adam McKay actually made the film fit into the universe more than the original written by Wright and Joe Cornish. More after the jump.

By now you may have heard of the villains that will exist in the Warner Bros.’ DC universe courtesy of the Suicide Squad cast announcement. Will Will Smith reprise his role as Captain Boomerang and go up against Ezra Miller who plays the Flash? Who knows. Whatever happens in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice could shape the future of the DC Cinematic Universe, much like The Avengers did for Phase Two of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We still know next to nothing about the plot of Batman v Superman, other than the rumor that Luthor as obtained General Zod’s body, and has been gathering pieces of the World Engine to synthesize Kryponite. Now the latest rumors claim the addition of not one, but two villains. One is an iconic Superman foe, but the other may be a bit of a strange pick for a Batman baddie. The first rumor is that Luthor has a Russian henchman who goes by the name the KGBeast. Next is that Joker is already an established character in the universe, and Superman already knows about him. Another says that meta-humans already exist in this world. Finally, Doomsday is in the film.

| A 20-Minute First-Person ‘Grand Theft Auto V’ Scenic Drive |

Are you sick of Grand Theft Auto V videos yet? I’m sure not! GTA is the absolute poster child for all things evil in video games, and soccer moms everywhere just love to use it as an example of games that are turning our precious little children into soulless serial killers. Which is why it’s always fun to see videos from the game that are minimally violent, like this nature documentary! Just as the headline says, this video is a 20-minute scenic drive in Grand Theft Auto V. Seriously. Nothing more, just a drive. So why share this? A couple of reasons, actually. First, because sometimes you just need to stop what you’re doing, turn off the radio, and drive. I find myself doing this often in GTA games, because they’re so much fun to explore and enjoy. Second, because videos like these show how insanely great the world created by Rockstar Games is (side note: this video covers a very small part of the very large map), and it’s worth praising repeatedly. You can watch the video below.
