Given his newfound status as a universe-saving Avenger, it seems that Scott Lang may not have time for his old mates any more…
We already knew that Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man crew would be down one member after rapper and actor T.I. was dropped from the cast of next year’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and it appears that Dave won’t be the only member of the group to sit out the next adventure as David Dastmalchian has revealed that he hasn’t been asked to reprise his own role as Kurt.
“It doesn’t look like it,” said Dastmalchian when asked by Joblo if we can expect to see Kurt in the currently-in-production sequel. “But that’s okay. I know they’re making something incredible. I can’t wait to see what Peyton does next. He’s one of my favorite directors. He’s been so busy. I have tried to stay in touch, but he’s making an incredible film right now.”
While Kurt and Dave are seemingly both out of the picture, we’re yet to get any word as to whether Michael Pena will be returning as Luis in Quantumania. If not, then it seems that Scott might find himself going up against Kang the Conqueror without any of his old gang in support.
