Why? Edgar Wright is making it.
Edgar Wright is the main reason I have hope that it won't be a disaster.

I don't see why they can't have Hank Pym in Avengers 2 create Ultron and then have Ant Man be a spin off film.

You know, Pym not being involved with Ultron is a shame, because it really is his best story, but sometimes in the process of adapting a story into another medium things don't work out and you have to shift things around. It's the nature of the game.
Spot on. I don't get it why deviate so much from the mythos and neglect such a pivotal Avenger like Pym? They could easily introduce him as a new character and do so many interesting things with him, show the flawed side of his self, his bad temper with his wife and so many other things.
I'm not too optimistic about AoU. Hank Pym isn't defined by Ultron, but Ultron is arguably defined by Hank Pyn (to an extent). The relationship between the two characters has been accepted as essential parts of either character's history for decades.
Hank Pym has been in every iteration of the Avengers from the very beginning, including Ultimates, including Mighty, including Initiative, including West Coast. He is an integral part of the team, and omnipresent in Avengers comics.
How is that an unreasonable comparison, in your opinion? Keeping in mind that my statement isn't about powersets, or popularity, or rank. Just about importance to the actual team and actual comic title.
If Whedon goes the route many here are speculating, with Jarvis morphing into Ultron, he could satisfy a lot of fans and not overcomplicate the story by having Paul Bettany play Hank Pym as a former collaborator of Tony Stark and a co-creator (and voice!) of the Jarvis AI.
Sheez, people just set themselves up for disappointment. Whedon said there would be no Hank Pym, he said the origin would be based on the Avengers we know. Now maybe he's making up ****, but I don't see why he'd have a reason to.
We don't even know in the Wright film if Hank Pym, will be the Hank Pym we know.
1) Does that mean Joss Whedon gets to cast Edgar Wright's movie?
2) Is there room for Hank Pym in Avengers 2, what with all the other madness going on?
3) Does Hank Pym being the creator of Ultron make it objectively a better film/story?
4) If not... why is having a Hank Pym cameo to create the big villain an issue?
3) This a good question. I think Hank Pym's story arc is stronger without being merged with Tony Stark but this is mostly a matter of execution.
4) I could see if Hank Pym wasn't going to be involved in phase 3 but there's an Ant Man movie right around the corner. So why not make Hank Pym central to Ultron, it will only help the Ant Man franchise and satisfy the fans.
Because as far as we know, Hank Pym won't be the main character of Wright's Ant-Man, Scott Lang will be.
Nothing like fanboys writing off a movie that was just announced instead of giving it a fair chance. Fandom has become nothing more than a cesspool of babies, whiners and ungrateful brats.
Oh shut up.

Nah, it's the constantly negative ungrateful brats that should shut up.
Yeah God forbid the fanboys have standards to aspire towards. It would be better if we were stuck with great movies like Batman and Robin, Steel, Catwoman, LXG and The Spirit.
Why do I need to be grateful for something that I'm paying money to see? Something that everyone involved is getting paid hundreds of thousands and in some cases tens of millions to do?
You should be grateful Marvel has the balls to be so ambitious with these films in the first place. You should be grateful comic book films are popular and reaching people of all ages. You should be grateful that these characters are getting their due on screen, a whole new visual medium. But no. Instead of being grateful all you people do is ***** and moan about every little detail that comes along.
I'm not saying you have to love every CBM that comes out of the gate. But be grateful they are getting made by people who CARE about them and want to tell good stories and that many of them ARE good and do the characters justice.
