ANT-MAN Star Paul Rudd Shares His Take On AVENGERS: ENDGAME's Final Battle Blunder With Two Scott Langs

Avengers: Endgame featured the biggest final battle of any MCU movie, and it's yet to be topped by Marvel Studios. With nearly every hero assembling to battle Thanos' army, there was an awful lot going on, meaning we can move past its one big VFX/editing blunder, right? 

As you'll likely recall, while Scott Lang was busy attempting to get his old van up and running, Giant-Man was almost immediately shown fighting a massive Leviathan in the background.

Fans have long speculated about a possible explanation for this, but a slight mistake behind the scenes is the most obvious answer (we're not banking on Scott being a Skrull, for example). 

Talking to BBC Radio 1 about Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, Paul Rudd shared his own explanation.  

"There was a bit of a glitch in the system," the actor joked. "Well you know, when you see this new Ant-Man movie, you'll see there's a moment where there's more than one Ant-Man and maybe it's a similar kind of thing." For those of you who have seen the threequel, that's obviously a reference to the Probability Storm. 

Marvel Studios has been known to make changes to visual effects when movies are playing in theaters, so we're definitely surprised this error has never been addressed. Clearly, it's not viewed as a big deal, and all these years later, it's a mistake we can surely all agree to forgive in what is arguably one of the greatest superhero movies ever made. 

In Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, Super-Hero partners Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) and Hope van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) return to continue their adventures as Ant-Man and the Wasp.

Directed by Peyton Reed, the threequel also stars Michelle Pfeiffer as Janet Van Dyne, Michael Douglas as Hank Pym, Kathryn Newton as Cassie Lang, Jonathan Majors as Kang, David Dastmalchian as Veb, Katy O'Brian as Jentorra, William Jackson Harper as Quaz, and Bill Murray as Lord Krylar.

Yeah, no. It's just an editing mistake. Continuity errors are no new thing.

LOL I've never noticed this. The whole sequence is so jam-packed, that there's no way I ever would notice it.

Endgame battle could have been better.. never had a hulk/thanos rematch, never saw hulk and spidey interact ever, never seem giant man stomp on or fight thanos, when thanos ready to destroy the universe only thor, ironman and cap marvel was there to stop him even though all the females teleported together earlier

Just say it was Ben Foster suiting up as Giant Man one more time to help.
Or Hank Pym. Literally everyone was coming to help fight Thanos, why wouldn't one of them suit up to help?

@TheSavage - No, this is the MCU, you can't have Hank Pym doing cool stuff.

It's funny, because usually I'm oblivious to that kind of stuff in movies.

But for some reason I noticed that error the very first time I saw the movie in cinema.

This is literally the first time I've ever heard of this. No idea it was a thing. Like Harrison Ford said to Mark Hamill worried about his hair in a scene : "If people are looking at your hair, we're all in big trouble."

I've watched it 3 times and never noticed. The scene was just so busy and short that it's hard to spot.

Watched it dozens of times, never noticed. And I'm usually pretty good about catching stuff like that.
