Paul Rudd, or rather, Ant-Man, is finally addressing Marvel fans’ speculation that he could have destroyed Thanos by using his powers to shrink down and, conversely, expand in size.

The interactive movie/dining experience, titled “Avengers: Quantum Encounter”, follows Ant-Man and the Wasp as they battle Ultron (Ross Marquand) with the help of fellow Avengers Captain Marvel (Brie Larson), Miss Marvel (Iman Vellani), and Captain America (Anthony Mackie). The story doesn’t take place in the main MCU timeline but rather in a world in the multiverse where Thanos’ ‘Snap’ never happened.
