“They Have My Number”: Paul Rudd Breaks Silence On Ant-Man’s Role In Upcoming Avengers Films

Paul Rudd has been a fan-favorite in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since his debut as Scott Lang, the lovable ex-con-turned-superhero as the Ant-Man. Over the years, he has brought humor and heart to the franchise. Additionally, he was the one who began the events of ‘Avengers: Endgame’ in a way. 

However, with the highly anticipated ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ And ‘Secret Wars’ on the horizon, fans are wondering, will Ant-Man be a part of the next epic battle?

When asked about his potential involvement in the next Avengers installment, Paul Rudd remained cryptic. “They have my number. They know where I’m at, and that’s all I can say,” he told Collider. It’s still unclear whether he’s genuinely in the dark or just doing his best to dodge spoilers.

Despite playing a significant role in ‘Avengers: Endgame’, Scott Lang was notably absent from ‘Avengers: Infinity War’, leaving many fans questioning his place in the larger Avengers narrative. While some Marvel heroes have been cemented as core members of the team, others have yet to make a significant impact.

Rudd’s comments about ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ were deliberately vague. However, his dodging of the question suggests that Ant-Man may still have a future in the MCU. The actor joked about attempting to “blink messages” and use Morse code to communicate without breaking Marvel’s strict confidentiality rules. 

While Rudd’s Ant-Man has been a lighthearted presence in the MCU, ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ hinted at a darker future for the character. Additionally, when pressed about upcoming travel plans, especially since ‘Doomsday’ is set to begin production in London soon, Rudd slyly responded, “Isn’t everyone traveling to London now in this business?” 

Russo Brothers On How ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ Will Differ From ‘Endgame’

While Paul Rudd remains tight-lipped about Ant-Man’s role in the future of the MCU, the Russo brothers have given fans a glimpse into what to expect from ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ and ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’. According to Joe Russo, these films will serve as a “new beginning” rather than a direct continuation of Endgame.

“The greatest thing that ever happened is we got to get immersed in a 20-movie arc and see an ending to that arc,” Joe Russo told Omelete. “What’s compelling about these two new Avengers movies is they’re a beginning.” This marks a clear departure from the structure of the Infinity Saga, which is built toward a climactic, emotional farewell for beloved characters.

Instead of another grand finale, ‘Doomsday’ and ‘Secret Wars’ will set the stage for a fresh era of storytelling. Additionally, this approach makes sense, especially considering the diverse new lineup of characters introduced in Phase 4 and beyond. The Russo brothers seem keen on using the films as a launchpad rather than a farewell tour.

Additionally, Marvel’s recent focus on the multiverse means that anything is possible. Could we see Ant-Man take on a leadership role within the new Avengers? Will the events of Quantumania have any repercussions for the character? And how will the MCU balance introducing new heroes while honoring the ones who built its foundation? However, even with all the confusion, one thing is certain, the Russo brothers are approaching these next Avengers films with a fresh perspective.
