Although he is one of the first Avengers in the Marvel comics,

took a few years to jump into the movies for fans to start loving him.

His debut came in 2015, with a film that critics treated infinitely better than its sequel.

Several appearances later, he is still mistaken for Spider-Man by those not so familiar with the Marvel Universe.

In the franchise's latest release,

, Scott Lang takes control of a bumpy journey into the quantum world, revealing

.

Paul Rudd, the film's protagonist, is accompanied in this new adventure by Hope,

(Evangeline Lilly), the scientists Hank (Michael Douglas) and Janet (Michel Pfeiffer), and their teenage daughter Cassie (Kathryn Newton), whose role will be fundamental in the fight against the villain of the Saga of the Multiverse, Kang the Conqueror.

Other surprises await the viewer -such as the incursion of an enigmatic MODOK and the long-awaited cameo by Bill Murray- in a popcorn movie that recycles some humorous resources from

and Taika Waititi's Thor, and that is precisely why he did not quite get the tone right.

Of course, Rudd embroiders his double role as father and superhero.

Well, for starters I have a 13 year old daughter.

Like Scott, I know what it's like to be a parent and have problems.

It's true that he must divide his life between being a father and being a hero, and that torments him because he can't always be as present as he would like in Cassie's life.

I've been acting as Ant-Man for nine years and I also wonder if it's okay that I travel so much, that I miss moments with my family because of filming the movies.

Also, in the first two films I was involved in the script and was able to add a lot of jokes and winks, funny lines that I thought would work very well for the character.

In this third movie there are also moments where I'm filming a scene and introducing a joke.

I shoot mostly irony.

There's a lot of me in Scott, for sure.

(Laughter) Yes, she has evolved.

The first of all was very complicated to put, it took me like 20 or 30 minutes.

He had suspenders, chains, leggings...well, everything.

The locker room staff have been perfecting it, and now it's much easier.

They divided it into two parts and although I still need help putting it on, it only takes ten minutes.

Going to the bathroom is not that difficult for me, for example, because it has certain magnetic parts that I can remove and put on without having to unbutton the entire suit.

I prefer magnets a hundred million times to buttons.

No superhero in a suit likes buttons.

Even so, it is a bit annoying to do depending on what, but you end up getting used to it.

I always think that these films are about family, about the father-daughter relationship, and that children go to see them.

We also deal with some serious things, even if it is with a transversal look.

I have always thought that it is important to be sincere, but without falling into a cloying sentimentality.

And I think it's possible to go deeper into a complicated topic if you do it in a nice and fun way.

Thus, you are even better able to convey what you really want to say.

That is the best scenario.

That's why I always try to find that balance.

I never really think of it in those terms, but it is true that I have lived it differently from the other two.

I felt bigger in almost every way, I felt the movie ended in the right way, better than

.

As for the possible future scenarios, I have no idea if it is a conclusion or a beginning.

I don't know if it's a story that continues.

To be honest, I don't have any knowledge about these decisions.

I don't know if there are conversations about it at Marvel headquarters, if they are negotiating or not.

The only thing that worries me right now is that the story works.

We have tried to tell it as best as possible.

Yes, I think it's important not to be ambivalent or on the sidelines when you can help change an unfair situation.

You can't cover your eyes and pretend you don't know what's going on in the world.

I always try to do something for children when I get the chance to help with any campaign, whether it's about bullying

stuttering or poverty.

Both my daughter and my fictional daughter (Cassie Lang) are two teenagers who also share this obsession with helping.

Well, there is everything.

It is true that since I belong to the Marvel Universe I am better known.

My life has changed, and although it's not as exaggerated as in the movie, there are people who yell at me, who ask me for photos and are desperate to talk to me even for a minute.

Especially children, you should see their faces.

But it's on paper.

The fans always show me a lot of love.

I think I'm proud of both for the same reason.

They have finally understood that the really important thing in this life is time and the people with whom they decide to share it.

I identify a lot with that, I have also learned it with my own children.

That makes it fun to play with the character, with the growth of him, because Scott doesn't really have any kind of super ability to show off.

His existence as Ant-Man depends solely on the technology of his suit.

He is a normal guy.

You have no idea how much fun it is to grow up with him.

Of course.

I miss the boys.

I mean, it's been quite an experience hanging out with Robert (Downey Jr.) or both Chris (Evans and Hemsworth).

You can't expect me to get used to being without them.

They're Iron Man, Captain America, Thor... I felt all the time like the loser who crashed the cool kids' party.

Shooting group scenes with all the Avengers was really exciting.

moment

after another, every time a scene had to be shot.

But we talk a lot.

We are very close friends, and that is incredible.

I hope to meet them soon in some other job.
