We chat with AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania star Corey Stoll about how he was pitched the role of MODOK, what else he'd like to explore for the character, and how he physically embodied the 'weirdo':
In the wake of saving the universe, Scott Lang has found a sense of peace at the start of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. He's a hero, he's written a book, and he is working to make up for the time he lost with his daughter. When an experiment of Cassie's goes wrong, she, Scott, Hope Van Dyne, Janet Van Dyne, and Hank Pym are pulled into the Quantum Realm. While in the Quantum Realm, Scott faces off against enemies both old and new with Kang and M.O.D.O.K.
Corey Stoll: He thought that he was going to have to pitch it and sell me on it. I got a call a little bit earlier from my manager saying, "Peyton wants to talk," and it was very little information, and I was like, "How is Darren going to come back? How is this possible? Am I going to come back as a totally different character?" Then my mind sort of really went crazy during that week waiting for this call.
Corey Stoll: Well, I had hoped that he would keep going, but I wasn't holding a torch for him. The original script had him live, and then for a while there was a version where he died in a very permanent way. Then I didn't even know how he was going to die until I went to the premiere. And then I saw him sort of just shrink into this little dot. I was like, "Oh, there's a possibility that he could still be alive." Yeah, I mean they were going back and forth.
And Kang is an abusive father, but he's a father nonetheless, that Darren is seeking. And so, now that he's confronted with his old life, he thinks he's going to be that guy at the high school reunion who comes back and everybody's so impressed with his trophy wife and all the money he's making, and they just see the loser that he always was. And it just drives him all the more crazy.
Can you talk about how this was shot? Were you in a motion capture suit and did you see concepts before filming started?
