Paul Rudd Responds to Avengers: Endgame’s Ant-Man Error

Paul Rudd, who starred in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Adventure, addressed the significant continuity error in Avengers: Endgame.

The most recent Avengers movie, which is approaching four years old, was the result of more than ten years of narrative development. Until The Kang Dynasty arrives in 2025 (assuming it isn’t delayed), all viewers will remember the titular team.

Despite how many people think it is, there are some issues.

One of those, admittedly, minor problems manifests itself as a minor (or primary?) hurdle for Scott Lang.

Editing Mistake in Ant-Man’s Endgame

Paul Rudd, who starred in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, spoke about a peculiar continuity error in the major Endgame crossover movie in a recent interview with BBC Radio’s Ali Plumb.

Paul Rudd‘s protagonist is forced to hotwire his unsightly brown vehicle in the middle of the action during the decisive struggle in the film’s climactic final act.

Scott Lang as Giant-Man may be seen looming over the backdrop when the scene switches back to the larger altercation between the Avengers and Thanos’ troops.

When the mistake was brought up, Rudd laughed and said, “Maybe there’s a little malfunction in the system,” while Plumb jokingly added, “It’s a new bit of Pym Particle.”

Rudd continued by highlighting a moment from his newest film “where there is more than one Ant-Man” that would provide a strong justification for the whole thing:

Yeah, you know, in this new “Ant-Man” movie, there is a scene where there are several Ant-Mans, and perhaps it’s similar… it’s just a glimpse into the future.

What Method Was Used to Pass the Error?

That should go without saying, but Rudd’s remark is unmistakably a joke.

This Giant-Man gaffe joins the likes of the unpleasant boom mic and an inaccurate War Machine armor for a single shot as minor flaws in Endgame.

In all honesty, it’s remarkable that the Russo Brothers’ film doesn’t have any more problems. It might be viewed by many as a form of miracle.

But how did this specific mistake happen?

Retakes and getting them to coexist harmoniously next to everything that has already been filmed are likely to bear a substantial share of the blame. The error presumably occurred numerous times during communication between different departments, which is what caused it to remain in the final edit.

It’s difficult to pick on a specific person. After all, the sheer number of characters and plot lines being juggled simultaneously is ridiculous.

It’s difficult to envision how Secret Wars will be able to compare to, or even top, what the Russo Brothers accomplished, but Marvel Studios is undoubtedly going to try.

Now playing in theatres everywhere is Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, with Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars following on May 2, 2025, and May 1, 2026, respectively.
