Is Paul Rudd Saying Goodbye To Ant-Man? Has 'No Idea' About MCU Future

"Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" might be the last of Paul Rudd in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The 53-year-old actor who stars as Scott Lang, also known as the superhero Ant-Man, revealed in an interview with Insider Wednesday that he's unsure whether or not Marvel Studios plans to continue the "Ant-Man" series after the third installment.

"I have no idea what my future in the MCU or in Marvel is at all," Rudd told the outlet. "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 starred in the first installment of "Ant-Man" in 2015, marking his debut as the ex-convict-turned-superhero who uses his powers to make the world a better place for his daughter, Cassie.

He has since reprised the role for the sequel "Ant-Man and the Wasp" in 2018, which was a blockbuster hit, garnering a total of $623.1 million at the worldwide box office. Rudd also appeared as Scott Lang in "Captain America: Civil War" in 2016 and "Avengers: Endgame" in 2019.

The third standalone Marvel movie titled, "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," is slated to premiere in theaters across the globe on Feb. 17. It is directed by Peyton Reed.

In an interview with Firstpost, published Thursday, the 58-year-old helmer expressed his excitement for the release, saying, "I'm thrilled that the movie is going global, day and day everywhere. We all have worked very hard, and we want everyone possible to see the movie, I want to take audiences all over the world. I want people to see the film on the biggest screen imaginable."

Evangeline Lilly, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Michael Douglas will be reprising their roles as Hope Van Dyne, Janet Van Dyne, and Hank Pym, respectively, while Kathryn Newton will make her MCU debut, starring as Rudd's character's daughter, Cassie Lang.

Jonathan Majors, who made his debut in the MCU as the formidable villain Kang the Conqueror in the season finale of the Disney+ series "Loki," will also appear as the antagonist. Major's role would reportedly lay the foundation for "Avengers: The Kang Dynasty," expected to hit the theaters in May 2025, Insider reported.

"Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantimania" is included in the roster of films for phase five of the MCU. It marks the beginning of a new era, alongside "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3," and "The Marvels" to be released later this year, and "Captain America: New World Order," "Thunderbolts," and "Blade," to be released in 2024.

Although an additional "Ant-Man" installment has yet to be announced, Rudd said he is already "happy" with the latest film.

"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," he said. "So should nothing ever else happen in Marvel, this has been great."

Meanwhile, Marvel's Stephen Broussard confirmed to Comicbook.com that discussions about the fourth movie for "Ant-Man" is already in the works at Marvel headquarters.

"We're already thinking about it. It's like, every movie's its own battle and you bear the scars of making it and wanting to make it great. But hope springs eternal, and you start to put yourself back together after the journey of making the movie," Broussard said.

"Those conversations, those whispers have already started to happen between myself and Peyton and Kevin," he concluded.
