Hey mates… do you bear in mind that Ant-Man and Thanos idea? You know, the one the place Ant-Man may doubtlessly shrink down sufficient to enter, ahem, Thanos’ anus after which morph into his “Giant Man” type to basically explode Thanos from the within through his gastrointestinal system? How may you neglect? Exactly. Well, it seems Paul Rudd himself can’t cease excited about the “Thanus” idea both.
“I usually marvel, although, may he actually have stopped Thanos in that method? Because didn’t he, at that time, have the Space Stone or no matter?” Rudd revealed throughout an interview with ComicBook, co-starring Jenna Ortega, for his upcoming movie Death of a Unicorn.
But Ortega turned visibly confused with the subject, so Rudd helped fill her in. “Do you already know what we’re speaking about?” he requested her. “There was a idea — going in opposition to Thanos, why didn’t Ant-Man simply… as an alternative of Thanos, it was ‘Thanus,’ go up after which broaden.”
From there, a clearly bemused Ortega requested, “I believed he was already huge?”
“Ant-Man or Thanos?” Rudd puzzled.
“… the purple one?” Ortega prompt.
“Thanos,” Rudd reminded her: “I get actually small, after which I am going…”
“Oh! That’s why you are known as Ant-Man!”
“Yeah.”
“Damn. Wow.”
The idea is a kind of obscure web relics that doesn’t have an actual origin, nevertheless it began to realize traction again in 2017 surrounding Avengers: Infinity War. Two years later, it picked up steam once more when Avengers: Endgame launched in 2019. Needless to say, it’s nonetheless a well-liked, and splendidly ridiculous, idea.
Based on the resurgence, it appears as if some followers are nonetheless questioning if the legendary warfare tactic would lastly be used in opposition to some MCU villain ultimately, and the following one up is Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday, which does not arrive till May 2026. That stated, he isn’t practically as large as Thanos bodily, so it appears as if the Avengers most likely gained’t must deploy that plan this time.
Never say by no means, although. Anything can occur, even this.
