BIG HERO 6 (In Development)

• BIG HERO 6

Ever since Disney's purchase of Marvel in 2009, fans have dreamed about seeing their favorite comic book characters brought to the big screen in animated form. Espeically since Disney owns Pixar, and Marvel, fans all around the world will love to see Pixar take a shot at bring a Marvel character to life.

 Now, rumors are pointing to a surprise Marvel property that could be arriving in animated form to theaters as early as 2014, with Disney developing the film, and Pixar sitting this one out.

A report from It's On the Grid has been backed by Blue Sky Disney that says that Walt Disney Animation has plans to develop Big Hero 6 as an animated feature film with Don Hall (Winnie the Pooh) directing.

Big Hero 6

The superhero team (which very recently made in appearance in Dan Slott's "Ends of the Earth" storyline in "The Amazing Spider-Man") is a Japan-based group created in 1998 that originally included Silver Samurai, Sunfire, GoGo Tomago, Honey Lemon, Hiro Takachiho and Baymax.

It is uncertain which, if any, of the original characters would make it to the big screen, especially as Silver Samurai and Sunfire originated in the "X-Men" comics and the film rights fall with 20th Century Fox. Samurai, especially, is rumored to make a live-action appearance in 2013's The Wolverine.

ANT-MAN (In Development)

• ANT-MAN

It's been years since Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish first began drafting duties on a feature film version of Marvel Comics' Ant-Man, they were actually given the fo ahead on the project back when the Incredible Hulk and Iron Man was in development. Since, then the Internet has spitting out rumors of possible release dates of Marvels smallest hero, who has yet to make it to the big screen.

Ewan McGregor as Ant-man starring at his creation Ultron... Awesome FAN ART!!

Recently, The Hollywood Reporter brings some strong encouragement, revealing that Wright has completed work on a test reel designed to help get the film the green light.

It would seem that if Marvel is glad with what they see, they will green light the film, allowing it to go into production.

"The idea that we have for the adaptation is to actually involve both... Henry Pym and Scott Lang," Wright told SuperHeroHype some years ago. "So you actually do a prologue where you see Pym as Ant-Man in action in the 60's, in sort of 'Tales to Astonish' mode basically, and then the contemporary, sort of flash-forward, is Scott Lang's story, and how he comes to acquire the suit, how he crosses paths with Henry Pym, and then, in an interesting sort of Machiavellian way, teams up with him."

Its expected that there has been many changes to the script since then, as Henry Pym plays a substantial role in the Avengers mythos. Whether or not it will feature both Henry Pym and Scott Lang remains to be seen.

But a more pressing issue is who was playing the role of Ant-man for the test reel? Was it the future Ant-man? Or just some stunt guy? CLICK HERE FOR OUR ANT-MAN PICKS
