Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’s lead man Paul Rudd describes how Jonathan Majors’ performance allowed him to slyly control the narrative of the film. Variety spoke to both actors ahead of the movie’s premiere last night. During the conversation, the Scott Lang actor admitted that Majors’ acting choices greatly influenced the pacing of the movie. The Ant-Man franchise has made its name as kind of a fun side attraction to the “main” plot developments for the larger MCU. That road stops with Quantumania, if you listen to the marketing and the actors themselves. Kang the Conqueror is here and even the normally light tone of the insect hero franchise has to bend to his will. Check out how Rudd described it down below!
