Paul Rudd of Marvel Talks About Being Left Out of Avengers: Infinity War

The actor of Ant-Man, Paul Rudd, said that he had not been retained by the Marvel blockbuster of last year Avengers: war in the infinite.

The American star – who is also known for comedies such as Presenter and Role models – has been playing the insectic superhero since two solo films, as well as a brief appearance in Captain America: Civil War.

However, Ant-Man was clearly absent from the third Avengers exit, even having established himself as a person on whom the team could rely.

Appearing in the episode tonight (April 12) from The Graham Norton Show, the host asks why Paul was absent from War of Infinity.

"It's a question I asked myself," he replies. "I had the impression that there was a big party and I was not invited."

However, the fans who saw Ant-Man and the wasp will know that the titular hero was actually under house arrest during the events of War of Infinity – was eventually trapped in the quantum realm at the exact moment when Thanos' brutal boost was produced.
