Rudd Confirms Talk Of ‘Expanding Role’ In MCU

Paul Rudd has been talking about his character of Scott Lang/Ant-Man taking a role within the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe.

During an interview with Superherohype.com, confirmed that when he signed up for the first film, he was aware of the possibility of appearances elsewhere in the MCU, as well as a sequel.

“I know that when I signed up for it that there was always the potential that they’d do another one or it would tie in in some way, but specifically, I wasn’t aware and I’m still not totally aware of how that’s the case. We are doing a second one, so those meetings are starting to be scheduled and underway as far as what it’s going to be. We’ll start writing it soon.”

Rudd also pointed to how accommodating Marvel are towards his other work and working around him.

“Marvel’s been great, as far as if I have something else and they’ll work around it. It’s not like I’m working on a series which might be a little trickier as far as schedule. I worked on ‘Civil War’ and I didn’t really work on it for very long, but as far as ‘Ant-Man 2,’ I already know when that’s going to go, so you just kind of plan accordingly. If anything comes along that I can film before or after and it works out time-wise and it makes sense, Marvel’s been supportive.”

Rudd will be seen next as Ant-Man in Captain America:Civil War.
