Paul Rudd has become a seminal part of the MCU as Ant-Man. His debut in the charming 2015 solo film intrigued audiences and brought a new type of superhero for audiences. The Quantum Realm, which was introduced in his solo film, became a huge factor in the Avengers defeating Thanos inAvengers: Endgame.
Ant-Man 3introduced the next big bad for the MCU in the form of Knag. However, both the film and the character were not received well by fans. After the disastrous results of the film, the future of Ant-Man is uncertain, and even Rudd does not know when or if his character will ever return to the MCU.

He further claimed that it is up to Marvel Studios to decide whether to bring back the character or not. He said (viaX),

Rudd talked toDigital Spyabout working on the film and starring alongside original Ghostbusters Bill Murray and Dan Ackroyd. The actor was so excited about working with these legendary actors.

“You can never get used to that. It’s a thrill, obviously, but it’s a bit strange to just be in the room [with them]. It’s strange to have the suit on, all that stuff, and we feel like imposters anyway, but to look over and go, ‘There they are’ and we can see them in suits.”
