Actress Katy O’Brian has revealed that actor Bill Murray originally had a much larger role in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” at Marvel Studios.
In a recently published interview with Inverse, timed with the digital release of the film on PVOD platforms like iTunes and Amazon, O’Brian revealed her character Jentorra originally had more scenes with Murray’s character Lord Krylar.
SPOILERS AHEAD FOR “ANT-MAN AND THE WASP QUANTUMANIA”
In the final film, Murray’s character Lord Krylar is eaten by a monster reasonably early on. In an earlier cut, Krylar was initially set to follow the main characters and seemingly get sent to jail by Kang, where he would interact with Jentorra. O’Brian says:
“I had a couple fight scenes that got cut out and there were a couple moments with Bill Murray. Instead of just getting killed, he did a whole space pursuit with them and then wound up with Kang and got arrested or something. It was a lot. It would’ve been like a three-hour movie.
They took him to jail and then he had some really cute little jail clips, and then I helped bust him out, and then he pretends that he’s with me the whole time and ready to fight. And I’m like, ‘Bro, come on.'”
In the film, the Lang and Van Dyne families explore the Quantum Realm, interacting with strange new creatures and embarking on an adventure that will push them beyond the limits of what they thought was possible.
“Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania” is now available to view on various streaming PVOD platforms. No Disney+ SVOD premiere date has yet been set.
