The interpreter had already worked with Marvel before, but the studio gave him a second chance.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumaniathe film in charge of initiating the phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has been revealing some surprises before its premiere. One of them is the return of an actor who has already appeared in another studio film and is now back. And he does it very changed.
Corey Stoll got into the skin of Darren Cross/Yellow Jacket in ant man. The character was the villain of the first great adventure of scott lang (Paul Rudd) as Ant-Man. At the end of the film, Stoll’s character is defeated. But, as MCU fans are well aware, no one really dies in the franchise and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania It has meant a second chance for the actor.
“I remember in the first movie Corey came up to me after he was shooting his last scene and said: ‘Oh. It is a pity. I have to die in this movie. I love working on the Marvel movies.. I told him: ‘Yes. It’s a shame,” says the director of the saga Peyton Reed to SensaCinema.
“It’s grotesque”: ‘Ant-Man 3’ introduces a new character, but his actor has already appeared as a villain in the UCM
But, years later, magic happened. Reed presented the idea to Stoll, to come back and do it, on top of that, as one of the most iconic characters in Marvel comics: MODOK. “Something you might not know about Corey, because I don’t think you’ll know it by looking at his movie roles, is that he was a real ‘comic nerd’. So the moment I mentioned the name MODOK he started laughing and was like, ‘Oh. No. No. Really?
Stoll did not think twice about accepting the offer:
I pitched the idea to him and he immediately said, ‘I’m in. I’m in. Let’s do it. I’m shooting my series. I don’t know how to fit it into my schedule, but I have to.’ She got it and jumped on the idea because I didn’t know how I was going to respond to that.
MODOK has already appeared in the previews of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and quickly became one of the most controversial characters in the movie. Some fans were not very happy with his version in the MCU. There are others, however, who are in favor.
If you have not yet opted for one side or the other, you can see the final result in theaters. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is set after the events that occurred in Avengers: Endgame. Scott Lang has a great life with his family and everyone thanks him for what he did to save the Earth with the rest of the superheroes. But when an experiment goes wrong and they all end up locked in the Quantum Realm, things get extremely dangerous: Kang (Jonathan Majors) is there and he will do everything possible to be able to go out there and meet his goal.
