Paul Rudd’s Hilarious Reaction to Epic Avengers: Doomsday Cast Reveal

by

Paul Rudd became the initial Marvel actor to comment on the large cast announcement for the upcoming movie titled “Avengers: Doomsday“, where a total of 27 actors were unveiled as part of the project.

On Wednesday, Marvel Studios broadcast a live, five-hour event revealing their cast lineup, which garnered an astonishing 275 million views, breaking records as the largest live audience for any Marvel event.

“A little emasculating”

As a diehard movie enthusiast, I tuned in to Jimmy Fallon’s show recently where the charming Paul Rudd graced us with his presence. The topic of discussion? None other than the casting process for Ant-Man! You can imagine the laughter and camaraderie when they showcased a miniature chair – just like Ant-Man’s suit! – to emphasize the unique nature of Marvel’s announcement.

I indeed noticed that announcement. My immediate thought was, ‘Wow, that’s smart, guess I am Ant-Man.’ However, there remains a small voice in me that finds it somewhat humbling to have a miniature chair. Yet, on the bright side, it’s about time I have one that will comfortably accommodate my size when I sit.

Marvel snipers are out

Since the film is a Marvel production, Rudd was unable to provide any information about the movie. They also added an extra layer of amusement by playfully referencing the recent news about a specific leak and a private text conversation.

They keep everything under wraps about the movie. It’s a big deal, so we have to be careful with information. It’s not like military secrets or anything, it’s just that this is a major Marvel production and we can’t be careless with it. So I’m sorry, but there’s nothing I can share with you about it.
