Bill Murray Walks Into the Marvel Universe
In a bomb shell-throwing interview with the German paper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, the legendary 71‑year‑old actor & comedian publicly announced a move into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The news? Bill Murray is set to appear in the upcoming Ant‑Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
“I probably won’t tell you the details…but not really.”
Murray laughed as he explained how the director wooed him into the superhero realm. “Sure, some folks were surprised I’d jump into a comic‑book film,” he said. “But all I needed was a pitch‑in‑with‑cute‑director vibe.”
Director Sweet‑Spot
- He’s funny, humble, and just the type of director everyone wants on set.
- He previously did the hit girl‑team film Bring It On — Girls United.
- Notably, the film’s director is Peyton Reed, the man leading the very Ant‑Man we’re heading to.
Murray shrugged about the scifi buzz: “Once I’ve seen what a Marvel shoot looks like, I don’t need a second taste. I’ve been lucky to dodge the nasty corners of the biz—good artists, good folks.”
New Faces & Classic Mayhem
- Jonathan Majors takes on Kang the Conqueror (kin to the Loki series fame).
- Kathryn Newton plays Cassie Lang, the newest kid in the Ant‑Man family.
- Bill Murray joins an eclectic crew that also includes the usual suspects: Paul Rudd (Scott Lang/Ant‑Man), Evangeline Lilly (Hope van Dyne), Michael Douglas (Hank Pym), and Michelle Pfeiffer (Janet van Dyne).
Mark Your Calendar
