Paul Rudd says he has 'no idea' what his future in the MCU looks like 'at all' after 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania'
- Paul Rudd spoke to Insider about "Ant-Man: Quantumania" and said he has "no idea" about his MCU future.
- "None of this is my call, so I try not to think about it too much," he said.
Paul Rudd isn't sure how much longer he'll continue playing Scott Lang/Ant-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe because the decision is above his pay grade.
"I have no idea what my future in the MCU or in Marvel is at all," Rudd, who's promoting his collaboration with Heineken 0.0 and the brand's 2023 Super Bowl ad, told Insider on Wednesday. "None of this is my call, so I try not to think about it too much. So you'd have to ask the Marvel brass that one."
Rudd made his superhero debut in the standalone 2015 film "Ant-Man." He's since reprised the role for "Captain America: Civil War" (2016), "Ant-Man and the Wasp" (2018), and "Avengers: Endgame" (2019).
The third standalone movie, titled "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," is directed by Peyton Reed and set for release on Friday, February 17.
Rudd's "Quantumania" costars include Evangeline Lilly (Hope Van Dyne/Wasp), Michelle Pfeiffer (Janet Van Dyne), Michael Douglas (Hank Pym), and Kathryn Newton (Cassie Lang).
The cast also features Jonathan Majors, who first appeared in the MCU during season one of the Disney+ series "Loki," as the formidable villain known as Kang the Conqueror.
"Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantimania" also marks the start of phase five of the MCU and is expected to be a precursor of Kang's larger role as the new big bad and lay the foundation for "Avengers: The Kang Dynasty," which is expected to hit theaters in May 2025.
An additional "Ant-Man" film hasn't been officially announced yet, but Marvel producer Stephen Broussard recently told ComicBook.com that the studio is "already thinking about" another installment.
Until more concrete details about Rudd's Marvel future are revealed, fans can catch the actor playing Ant-Man in "Quantumania" and in the Heineken 0.0 Super Bowl ad airing this Sunday.
"Right now I'm happy with this one and I think back to the last nearly 10 years, eight or nine years of playing this part and it's been a very gratifying and fun journey," Rudd said. "So should nothing ever else happen in Marvel, this has been great."
