ANT-MAN AND THE WASP: QUANTUMANIA Rumored To Include M.O.D.O.K. In "Major" Role But Will Jim Carrey Play Him?

There have been rumblings for a while now that Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania will include M.O.D.O.K., but a new rumour suggests the iconic villain will play a "major" role in the upcoming threequel.

Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quatumania is shaping up to be a much bigger movie than its predecessors, with Jonathan Majors' Kang the Conqueror set to take on Scott Lang, Hope Van Dyne, Hank Pym, and Janet Van Dyne. However, it now appears he won't be the threequel's only villain, as a new rumour suggests M.O.D.O.K. will also have a "major role" in the movie. 

This is far from the first time we've heard claims about this character showing up in the third chapter of the Ant-Man franchise, though we certainly didn't expect him to play a leading part in the proceedings.

It's going to be interesting to see how director Peyton Reed juggles both Kang and M.O.D.O.K., and we'd be willing to put money on the latter being outed as Sonny Burch's mysterious "Benefactor." It's about time A.I.M. makes a comeback after being introduced in Iron Man 3, though your guess is as good as ours when it comes to how Kang will factor into things. 

There had been rumblings that Sonic the Hedgehog star Jim Carrey might bring M.O.D.O.K. to life, but apparently, that's not the case after all. Now, we have no idea who will portray the villain (or if this report should be trusted). Either way, it comes on the heels of another interesting cameo rumour earlier today

It was also just a few days ago that we got our possible first look at Majors suited up as Kang (you can check that image out here).

Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania is set to be released on July 28, 2023.

Not gonna lie; I HATE Jim Carrey in 98% of his roles, so I hope this isn't true. (He is pretty good as a "serious" actor in roles like The Truman Show however).

But, when he's in his normal over the top screaming/making stupid faces mode, there is nothing funny or entertaining about it imo. While MODOK is certainly a character you could have some fun with, I'd rather seem him portrayed as bizarre and creepy, rather than just the butt of a joke.

I know the game gets some flack, but the Avengers Game version of MODOK was awesome. Can't imagine they'll play out a similar arc though, especially with a film that has Kang in it already

Jim Carrey worked with Reed on Yes Man so I wouldn’t be surprised.

@AmazingFILMporg - man I wasn’t sure for a second!

I kid but I’m honestly not sure about Eternals. It’s gonna finish under Incredible Hulk 171 mill adjueted for inflation), making it the MCU’s lowest domestically… that’s a flop.

Here.

Worldwide it tops Black Widow, but Black Widow ain’t got none to worry bout, at least not Nat. Yelz on the other hand, guess we’ll see

Going to be suuuuuuuuuuper interesting who plays him if not Carrey! This movie has me so hyped and feels like it's flying under the radar.

@newhire13 - Tom Cruise for gay Modok, not that there's anything wrong with that

@SpideyQuad - Gay Modok?
Does Modok even have "equipment"?

God i hope not - Jim Carey is just too goofy. I'm frankly so tired and bored of the goofy-ass humor that marvel feels the need to put into every movie - like it's one more thing to check off - I say make him what he would be in real life if he existed - f'king terrifying! Then leave it to the actual jokesters like Any Man, Spiderman, etc to make fun of him - of course it's gonna happen but don't make him a damn cartoon character.

Kinda like how they made some nods to Zola's ridicilous comic book look, I hope they do they same for Tartleton's and just have Tartleton himself in a supporting role like Egghead had in the second movie.

No need to make Tartleton MODOK, just leave that to an animated show like What If... (preferably a Tales to Astonish where Hank Pym fights MODOK and Egghead).

It would be great to see A.I.M.'s yellow jackets and Rita DeMara.


Hydra has been decimated and perhaps they have joined A.I.M.

They do need someone who can emote a ton with their face. So Jim Carrey is gonna be very desireable for the studio.

Why the hate for Jim Carrey as M.O.D.O.K.? I think it would be awesome. It will probably be before he the experimentation. You know some actual character development.
