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.

Check out more of the actor's comments below:
 
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.

I thought this scene was done very well. Props to Paul Rudd for really “buying in” as he said. The movie was better than the first imo. The wasp was great and Douglas is charming.

i adored this movie. I hope we get to see Janet and Hank in action next time. hopefully sooner because Sebastian stan talked about having a scene with her. And Janet speaking through Scott was hilarious asf.

That moment was well put together. Enjoyed the movie very much. SUcks it won't make the $100+ mill but you know what that's ok to me. At least the movie was good.

@MrCamw1 - It might climb to 80 million. but one thing is for sure it will beat the first movie. The third one will be the one to make 100 million.

@PantherKing - I could see that. That's the same trajectory as the Thor movies.

@MrCamw1 - Exactly. Especially since Ant-man will be in Avengers 4. It might boost his profile a little bit.

@PantherKing - with that did, you think if he'd been in Infinty War it would have given him a boost in box office?

Anyone still thinks this movie is a flop?
PantherKing
PantherKing - 7/8/2018, 1:00 PM
@DVonShakari - it’s not. It’s sitting at 161 million rn. And it’s not out in most countries yet. Still got a long way to go.

DVonShakari - 7/8/2018, 1:07 PM
@PantherKing - $161 million right now! Hear that haters? I'm going to put in and see it tonight!

@DVonShakari - Not even close. Yeah, it's not as high as it could've been, but it still opened at a good number. And it helps that it probably won't have much competition until Mission: Impossible in a few weeks.

A lot of this movie felt forced to me. The only time I really felt sucked into the story were the scenes with Scott's daughter. That storyline seemed very genuine. They tried to force comedy in places when it could have easily happened naturally. Michael Pena's truth serum scene was pure gold tho. I enjoyed it but it's not one of my favorites.

Even though the story was very mediocre. The visuals of the movie were incredible.

That scene as well as Luis truth serum bit really worked. Two favorite comic spots for me.

This was such a fun moment, not just because of the comedic elements, but seeing how creatively they pay off something as small as Hank and Hope 'meeting' Janet for the first time in the film. Reed really got to play with things in this which I didn't quite expect to play out like this

That said, I still think we needed much more actual Janet content. There's a ton to be explored with her and it sucks we'll have to wait till like 2021/22 before we get another one of these.

It was one of the funniest scenes besides Luis' narrating and Kurt's "BABA YAGA!" one. It really showed well Paul Rudd's acting and how he pulled it, made you believe that was in fact Janet kissing Hope's forehead and all of that.

I hope there are gag reels about that scene in the DVD and Blu-ray.

A fun movie! And like Black Panther, you feel for the antagonist due to her backstory and existing situation she is trying to resolve.

Nicely done.
