PAUL RUDD: World’s Sexiest Avenger?
Stop the presses, Marvel Blog True Believers: Paul Rudd, who will probably be best known to you as the co-headliner of the Ant-Man and the Wasp movies, or one of the Avengers who assembled in Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Endgame, has been named People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2021.

Wait, what? Is he even the sexiest man on the Avengers roster? …I’m being told that this information is correct, Marvel Blog True Believers. I guess nobody who was voting watched Simu Liu‘s “Got Milk?” commercial!
Sexiest Avengers, Assemble!
Rudd first joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Scott Lang, who ends up wearing the Ant-Man suit designed by Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), in Ant-Man, released in 2015.

He next appeared in Captain America: Civil War, in which he joined Team Cap and played a HUGE role in the climactic Airport Battle.

Then in 2018, he and Evangeline Lilly (Hope van Dyne) co-headlined Ant-Man and the Wasp. In that movie, the superheroes rescued Hope’s mother, Janet van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer).

Next, Rudd appeared in Avengers: Endgame (along with his van), and played an important role in undoing the damage done by Thanos and his Snap.

As we move into the next phase of the MCU, Rudd continues to play a vital role, and he will co-headline the third movie in the trilogy, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which will include Kang the Conqueror (Jonathan Majors) as the main antagonist.
