When you look over the list, you’ll see that Marvel has left out the names of writer or directors that have been attached to a project. I’m not sure what the reason is, perhaps it has to do with the film still on the development side of the table. After all, many people might develop a project for years and then leave due to a myriad of reasons before actually shooting the film. Look at what recently happened at Universal for “Wolf Man.” So I think that’s probably the reason why we don’t see Edgar Wright’s name for “Ant-Man,” or Matthew Vaughn’s for “Thor.”

So if you’re curious what’s in the immediately pipeline, enjoy the list. For even more info – like how much money the company has and how their toy sales were – you can go to Yahoo’s business site.
