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.
And I got to wear a superhero suit.

Rudd also said that after his breakout filmClueless, he opted to do a play as his follow-up move.

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.
