Ant-man and the Wasp is filled with humerous scsnes that will no doubt have audiences' sides plitting, and in a movie that saw Paul Rudd heavily involved in writing the script, it comes as no surprise that many of the funniest moments in the film revolved around Scott Lang.
One particular sequence that saw Rudd's comedic chops shine was when he was impersonating Michelle Pfeiffer's Janet van Dyne. It was revealed that during the first Ant-Man, Janet found Scott and implanted a way to communicate through him. When Hank Pym and Hope open the quantum tunnel, Janet is able to take control of Scott and not only help ensure that her location can be found but also interact with her husband and daughter for the first time in 30 years... as Scott.
During a press conference for
Ant-man and the Wasp, Rudd discussed channeling his inner Michelle Pfeiffer and his gender swapping interactions with Michael Douglas and Evangeline Lilly. When asked if he impersonated Pfeiffer while she was on set, Rudd noted that he "
would never have been able to do that with her there… Absolutely not."

I feel like I’ve been doing that for years. Every time we would refer to that, we kept calling it the “All Of Me Sequence” and we’d have many conversations about it earlier on. Because this seems like a fairly big swing. But it was surreal, to say the least. And there are those moments, you know, as an actor, you have to buy into this scenario and you’re playing the truth of the moment. But at the same time, as me being me and Michael being Michael, when I had my hand tenderly to his cheek and I’m staring… in the eyes, here we… we giggled a couple of times.
