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 story doesn’t take place in the main MCU timeline but rather in a world in the multiverse where Thanos’ ‘Snap’ never happened.
