'Ant-Man 3': Bill Murray Confirms Appearance In Marvel Movie, Says He's Only Doing It Once

Actor Bill Murray confirmed that he will be appearing in Marvel's highly anticipated movie, "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" but only once as he is not into superhero movies.

Speaking with a German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Tuesday, the 71-year-old actor noted that he will feature in a Marvel movie without revealing the name of the movie first but hinting that the director is Peyton Reed, who is currently filming the third installment of the "Ant-Man" franchise.

"You know, recently I made a Marvel movie," Murray told the outlet. "I probably won’t tell you, but never mind. In any case, some people were quite surprised why I decided on such a project," the actor said.

Murray further explained why he decided to be a part of the "Ant-Man" franchise.

"But for me the thing was quite clear: I got to know the director – and really liked him very much," the "Lost in Translation" star revealed. "He was funny, humble, everything you want from a director," Murray added.

Moreover, Murray praised Reed for his sports comedy movie, "Bring It On," which was released in 2000. However, the actor further noted that he is "not interested in these huge comic book adaptations as an actor otherwise."

The actor says he took the project because he thinks Reed is a "good guy" and he wants to experience making a Marvel movie, but he clarified he won't be doing it a second time.

"I have mostly had a pretty good knack for avoiding the nasties of this industry," he explained. "Fortunately, most good artists are also good people. At least that’s how I experience it with my friends," the actor concluded.

While Murray confirmed that he is working in a Marvel movie, there is no official confirmation from the studio yet.

On the work front, the actor will be next seen in a comedy fantasy movie, "Ghostbusters: Afterlife." The movie is set for release on Nov. 19. He will also feature in a romantic comedy drama, "Asteroid City," which premieres next year.

"Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" will be out on July 28, 2023.
