Marvel's upcoming film "Ant-Man" is not even showing in cinemas yet until July 17, but Paul Rudd who plays the role of the titular superhero is already discussing his next appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The actor expresses his interest in playing a role in "Captain America: Civil War", saying it's a "surreal" experience to be a part of Captain Roger's team of supers. The third installment of "Captain America" is slated to premiere April 29, next year.
As previously reported, Marvel's forthcoming film "Captain America: Civil War" will be introducing some of the newest members of the Avengers, one of which is the pint-sized superhero, Ant-Man. Played by the "Friends" actor, Paul Rudd, Ant-Man's first mission with the squad will be featured in the third installment of the "Captain America" franchise; and to stir up the fans' excitement for the film and his appearance, the 46-year-old actor has shared his awesome experience in filming the 2016 sequel.
"It's been an interesting thing [playing Ant-Man] because I also just went and worked a little bit on Captain America 3," Rudd told The Best Show. "To be in that Marvel world, but kind of be somewhat in a bubble [on the solo movie] and now to kind of have these experiences where I'm standing opposite Captain America, It's been a surreal ride so far. It's really only just starting."
According to Hypable, Rudd seems to tease that he is already gearing up for a huge promotional adventure once his upcoming live-action film "Ant-Man" will be released next month. Also, his statement is said to be signifying that his lead role might recur in some of Marvel's future installments, including the two-part final chapter of the Avengers, "Avengers: Infinity War".
