Blood Spitting Fight Scene Between Kang and Ant-Man

In the movie Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, there will be many brutal fight scenes between the main characters of the movie. As Kang the Conqueror is labeled to destroy the multiverse and all the superheroes try to stop him, some fight scenes got too realistic. Ant-Man actor Paul Rudd shared that they had to tone down the blood shown on his mouth for the fight scenes. As Scott Lang faces off against one of the most powerful multiversal antagonists, Jonathan Majors’ Kang the Conqueror, it is more or less expected that Ant-Man will be on the receiving end of some thrashing.

While in an interview with Access Hollywood, actors Jonathan Majors and Paul Rudd shared that there was too much blood on Rudd’s character and Marvel had to tone down the blood from Lang’s face during fighting with Kang the Conqueror.

“They actually had to tone it down. They had to tone it down. They’re like, ‘You know what, this is a little too much.'”

The hard-hitting on Rudd might be a result of Majors starring in Creed III and bullying his co-star Michael B. Jordan by being allowed to hit some but also receive some punches in the ring. Majors continued saying that he was careful not to hurt his co-star’s head but might have slightly bruised it, to which Paul Rudd replied, “I was so beat up that if I had a headshot, you wouldn’t be able to tell”. To keep it PG-rated they had to remove most of the blood from Ant-Man’s suit and luckily no one was injured on set.
