Many fans were surprised by the casting of Bill Murray in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. A new behind-the-scenes video from Marvel Japan reveals an expanded role for Murray's character.
The new video was shared via Marvel Japan's twitter account and gives fans a sneak peek at what the studio originally had planned for Lord Krylar. In the clip, Kylar is seen teaming up with Kang and MDOK which would have changed the complexity of the movie.
According to Ant-Man 3 co-star Katy O'Brien, Lord Krylar had a "whole space pursuit… and then wound up with Kang and got arrested or something." Jentora, O'Brien's character in the film, would end up in a jail cell with Lord Krylar. Cassie Lang, played by Kathryn Newton, had to break the pair out of the quantum prison.
The scene where Cassie frees the pair can be seen in the new clip.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania writer Jeff Loveness explains how Murray ended up as Krylar, saying that they went with one of the most obscure characters to dodge internet rumors, saying: We never wanted anyone to guess who he was playing.
