Buena Vista/Marvel(LOS ANGELES) — Paul Rudd plays the titular tiny hero in Marvel’s Ant-Man, and Tuesday’s Good Morning America got a behind-the-scenes look at the film set, and also chatted with the stars.
One of those stars is Evangeline Lilly, aka the film’s Dr. Janet Van Dyne, who said Rudd will make a big impact onscreen, especially on the ladies: “I think they’re going to be shocked at how fricking sexy Paul Rudd is going to be in this movie,” she said.
She added, “I’ve had moments where, like, the beauty team, the glam squad will come be like, ‘Oh my God, you should have seen those shots of Paul, he looked hot!'”
Co-star Michael Douglas — who plays Dr. Hank Pym, Lang’s mentor and Van Dyne’s father — appears to back her up, adding: “Paul Rudd has worked out so much that they had to tone his suit down because his eight-pack and his pecs were exploding.”
In the film, Pym is the brains behind the special process that shrinks a human to the size of an ant.
As for Rudd, he said when you’re in a movie like Ant-Man, you’ve got to bring a sense of humor. “Yeah, it’s very serious. It’s very serious,” said Rudd. “You have to be serious when you’re riding around on the back of an ant.”
Ant-Man debuts into theaters July 17.
