Marvel Cinematic Universe stars Chris Evans and Paul Rudd reunited via video chat, where a segue into the status of Ant-Man 3 ended with Evans asking Rudd about the size of his penis.
The NSFW interlude occurred during one of Variety's Actors on Actors interviews after Evans asked Rudd what the plans are for shooting the third Ant-Man movie. After Rudd guardedly reminded Evans how Marvel keeps a tight lid on the public announcement of such matters, Evans quickly backtracked. "I might as well ask you what your paychecks are. I don't know. Paul, what’s your penis size?" Rudd laughingly replied, "It's even bigger than my paycheck. Put in your own Ant-Man joke there."
While Rudd could not tell Evans anything about the upcoming Ant-Man 3, the two did share their views about the anxieties and expectations regarding being a part of one of the most successful Hollywood franchises in history based on characters that have been developed over several decades in Marvel Comics. For Rudd, playing Ant-Man was even more daunting because of the somewhat comical perception of the character's backstory and powers that many people had.
"There's pressure at every single movie you're making in the Marvel world," the actor explained. "You don't want to be the weak link. A character like Ant-Man, yeah, very few people knew. They'd say, 'Well, what does Ant-Man do?' And I’d say, 'He can shrink to the size of an ant, but he also retains strength, and he can control ants and talk to ants.' And people would just laugh."
No official plot details have been released for the third Ant-Man film, but much of the main cast is expected to return, including Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly and Michael Douglas. Peyton Reed, who directed the first two Ant-Man films, will return to direct the third. There is no official release date as of yet.
