When it comes toAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantamaniaand really, any other project having to do with the MCU, Marvel Studios tends to keep a tight grip on casting and plot details. However, it appears Bill Murray has let at least one tidbit slip when it comes to his role inAnt-Man 3in that he’s been cast to play a villain.
What is known aboutAnt-Man 3is that it’s going to be following in the footsteps of the MCU properties that came before it, at least a little bit. First introduced in theLokiDisney Plus series, Jonathan Majors is set to appear as Kang the Conqueror in the character’s first big-screen appearance. He’ll bring a combination of multiversal storytelling and time travel to the film, but it appears he’s not going to be the only bad buy making an appearance, assuming that Murray is telling the truth.

Murray appeared on a recent episode of The Eli Manning Show where he briefly talked abouthis character inAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Perhaps realizing that Marvel Studios doesn’t like those kinds of details to get out before they’ve decided “it’s time,” he didn’t say much about the character. However, when Manning asked him what his power was in the upcoming film, he spilled the beans, telling the former New York Giants quarterback that his power was “being a bad guy.”
Murray was of course the first person to leak that he was going to appear inAnt-Man 3at all. The legendary actor didn’t specifically say he was inQuantumania,but he talked glowingly about “the director” of an upcoming Marvel superhero film and from there, MCU fans connected the dots until there was no reason to keep it a secret anymore. Now those same fans will likely start playing the guessing game on just which bad guy will appearalongside Kang the Conqueror.
Part of the reason for the mystery surrounding Murray is that there just isn’t a ton knownabout the plot ofAnt-Man 3. The title suggests that it will in some way, shape, or form deal once again with the Quantum Realm, the part of the reality that exists between the molecules. Characters from the first two films have briefly traveled there and were able to save Janet van Dyne in the second film.
What is known aboutAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumaniais that at least one of its stars is quite happy with its script. Evangeline Lilly ison record as saying thatAnt-Man 3’s writer, Jeff Loveness is “one of the best” they’ve ever had.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumaniais currently scheduled to be released on June 09, 2025.
