Rudd: Seeing Hemsworth as Thor still 'cool'

Paul Rudd recently shared his enduring excitement for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, admitting that seeing Chris Hemsworth casually dressed as Thor on set still amazes him. He expressed his anticipation for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, slated for release on December 18, 2026. Rudd reflected on the unique experience of reuniting with numerous MCU alums, noting that the novelty hasn't worn off.

The Ant-Man actor emphasized that this sense of wonder isn't limited to younger fans; even adult fans would likely be thrilled. He suggested that this genuine appreciation and the actors' enjoyable camaraderie contribute significantly to the MCU's sustained success over its nearly twenty-year history. Rudd's own journey began with Ant-Man in 2015, and he has since appeared alongside many of the franchise's biggest stars.

Rudd's comments cut through any potential cynicism surrounding large franchises, showing a continued appreciation for the extraordinary nature of the MCU. With Avengers: Doomsday set to bring back many familiar faces from over two decades of comic book movies, the behind-the-scenes atmosphere reportedly retains its magical quality. The upcoming film promises a blend of established and new characters.
