Peyton Reed (Yes Man, Ant-Man) recently appeared on Screen Junkies' "Honest Reactions" show, where he got a look at Honest Trailers' take on the first Ant-Man. During the commentary, he went on to mention that he had plans to have Rick Moranis make a cameo appearence in the first film:

"We actually, at one point, attempted to get a Rick Moranis cameo in the first movie - still during the period, I think, where he wasn't doing so much acting. I think he's now gonna be on the CTV Scorsese-directed thing, which I'm super psyched about. But always, still, an unchecked box for me."


Rick Moranis (Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, Ghostbusters) unofficially retired from acting in 1997 to become a stay-at-home Dad. Although he hasn't appeared on camera for decades, he has been doing voicework for TV shows/films and radio commercials in the meantime. His hiatus from acting on screen made it difficult to get him to cameo in the first Ant-Man, and that didn't change during the filming of the sequel - but now that Moranis is set appear in Netflix's SCTV reunion documentary, a cameo appearance in Ant-Man 3 seems more likely. 

It would definitely be fun to see Rick Moranis appear in an Ant-Man film, so hopefully Peyton Reed will finally be able to check that "unchecked box" of his.

Here is the episode of "Honest Reactions" with Peyton Reed:

That would've been awesome. I didn't know that he retired though…

Well now I want Rick Moranis as Egghead.

@CurlyBill - I'm not sure about the rights, but I could be down for Molecule Man. He could capture that naive cowardice, then turn on a dime and be the most powerful man in the universe!

@CurlyBill - too late, that character has already been used!

I’m embarrassed it took me about a minute for my conscious mind to get why a Rick Moranis cameo would have been appropriate. And yeah, I totally skimmed over where HONEY I SHRUNK THE KIDS is called out by name.

Not only was honey I shrunk the kids about miniaturization it was about Ants too. Woulda been awesome to have a Tuck Pendleton cameo too for all y’all 80’s babies.

@JizzerTron - An INNERSPACE callout would be awesome, but I doubt Martin Short or Dennis Quaid would lower themselves to a gag cameo. Even a musical cameo of the song “Cupid” by Sam Cooke would make me smile.

@NoAssemblyReqd - I could see Quaid doing it but not Short. Even a sarcastic “ok Mr. Igo!” Would’ve been a cute and obscure nod to another film about shrinking and enlargement. That sounds like a Cialis commercial.

Yesterday I thought Reed sounded like Douglas, but with the Douglas impression part I cannot unhear it anymore

Hell, that's not the only unchecked box. They could've given us an old school suit for Pym resembling more of the classic Ant-Man blueish and red with a bulkier open chin helmet, and how cool would it have been if they got Catherine Zeta-Jones to play Janet?
