Ant man is one of the least interesting comic book characters in the marvel universe. Characters like Venom would of been better and he's more well known. Could do a saga of him fighting Carnage and some other villains but not have spider man in any of it.

I think Carnage is getting his own movie but that character is tied to Spider-man and Marvel Studios does not have the rights to the property at the moment when it comes to movies.  Same reason we aren't seeing the X-Men in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

 

Here is a quick reference of who currently has the rights to what:

Marvel movie rights


Ah, that explains it. Ugh. That's so annoying.

Yeah I think most of their deals are structured that if they don't make a movie out of a property for so long then Marvel Studios get the rights back.  One of the reasons they are re-booting Fantastic Four (despite how poorly the last two movies did) and constantly churning out movies for Spiderman. If they don't those rights go back to Marvel.
