The Friends star Paul Rudd has been caught many a time discussing one of the most debated fan theories about Ant-Man and Avengers Endgame. The name of the theory has been given as Thanus theory and it explains why it has been named after it. It is a Fan-made theory, yet it got every Marvel fan’s attention as soon as it circulated online.
The theory shows how Ant-Man could have been the protagonist in the Avengers Endgame and could have shown Thanos how it is done in place of Iron Man. The fan theory went so viral that even the Ant-Man himself couldn’t ignore it.

What Is The Theory Thanus Is All About And How Is It Related To Paul Rudd
The theory simply states that in the Avengers Endgame, Ant-Man could have simply shrunk down, flown up Thanos’s butt, and should have annihilated him from the inside. While talking about the theory that became famous back in 2019 and is still circulating, even Paul Rudd has explained it quite many times, why it didn’t happen.
The first time the fan-made theory came up on The Howard Stern Show where the host was seen asking him about the Thanus Theory. In reply to that the Friends star didn’t hesitate a bit and went on to say that. “If he can take out half of all civilization why couldn’t he expand His an*s”
While explaining it Paul Rudd even said, he has heard the theory many times, but it’s not possible at all as it’s firstly gross and secondly through the bottom and nowhere else. The Marvel star also said someone circulated it online and now everyone is busy asking him about it and how much he is in support of it.
What Paul Rudd Had To Say Regarding The Theory.
Paul Rudd did joke about the Fan theory by calling it a “missed opportunity”. In a recent interview with First We Feast the interviewer Sean Evans asked him about what he thinks about the theory to which the star replied in a jokingly serious tone. “I consider it a lost opportunity.”
Meanwhile, Paul Rudd reacted to the theory back in 2022 when he was asked about the theory by Jeremy Weed on the Disney Wish: Worlds of Marvel show and he stated.
“I’ve heard a lot of chatter out there asking why I didn’t shrink down, go in, and kill Thanos in a really creative way. First of all, gross. Secondly, it’s much more complicated than that. Allow me to explain…If only we had the time!”
But before the Ant-Man star could complete his sentence Evangeline Lilly cut him in between, the actress who plays the Wasp in The Ant-Man and The Wasp, So, guess what It wasn’t possible to know what the 54-year-old star had in mind regarding the Thanus Theory. Well, it didn’t happen that way and to be honest neither of the Marvel fans would have liked it.
