Bobby Cannavale Reveals His Role in Marvel's ANT-MAN
Several weeks ago, Blue Jasmine and Boardwalk Empire actor Bobby Cannavale revealed that he would be playing someone new in Marvel's Ant-Man, and would only say that he shared a lot of scenes with Judy Greer and his real-life buddy Paul Rudd. But now we have some more details about his role.
"Judy Greer is in it and she plays my wife," Cannavale divulged in an Esquire interview. Greer is playing Scott Lang's (Rudd) ex-wife. That should lead to some awkward dialogue between Cannavale and Rudd, who have "a lot of scenes together."
The character was included in the original Ant-Man script that was written by Edgar Wright, but when he left the project Rudd and Adam McKay did some major rewrites. "They sort of pumped the part up a bit in the new version and they both called me and said, 'You've got to do this.'," Cannavale recalled.
"I have to say, the whole thing, for as big as it was, felt like an indie film," Cannavale said. "With the exception of all the blue screen and the ridiculous suit that Rudd is in. And the fact that I've got to look at something that's not there and react to something like an explosion when there's no explosion. Aside from that, the actual scenes themselves were really fun and funny and we improvised a lot. It almost felt like an Adam McKay film."
