Paul Rudd and two others to write ‘Ant-Man and The Wasp’

Scribes Andrew Barrer & Gabriel Ferrari have closed deals to team with Paul Rudd and write Ant-Man And The Wasp, the sequel to the Marvel franchise that launched with a near $520 million global gross on a $130 million budget. Peyton Reed is back to direct the second installment. I’m told that Adam McKay, The Big Short director who was one of the Ant-Man writers, will work with Barrer & Ferrari and Rudd to break the story, and then the three of them will go off and write the script. Barrer & Ferrari put in six months worth of un-credited writing on the first film while it was in production.
