It wouldve been like somebody saying, How would you feel about doing Dancing with the Stars?

A superhero franchise was never on my radar, Rudd told Mens Health.

My agent said, What are you doing?

My career was just starting.

I didnt want to be considered a joke among actors who I really admire.

I really wanted to learn how to do this right.

I had a real focus.

And Ive gotten to work with Judd Apatow for years now.

The actor will next be in movie theaters inAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
