While it was tricky to film, Paul Rudd says it was worth it for the finished project
According to the Guinness World Records, the current record for the most characters played by a performer in a movie is 45, which was achieved by Johnson George in the film Aaranu Njan. However, we here at JOE think a scene in the third Ant-Man in which Scott Lang faces hundreds of variants of himself may have beaten this.
We even raised our theory to Rudd and the sequel's director Peyton Reed when we spoke to them about the movie.Asked about what it was like filming a scene in which a performer is acting against practically infinite other versions of themselves, Rudd had an interesting answer. "It sucks," he said laughing, before adding:"I thought: 'This will be a fun sequence,' which it is in the movie."I've played a clone before in a show and that's kind of exciting and fun and it was fun to do a little bit in this scene but as I started to multiply, I had to kind of film every version of me which, just after a while, it's like: 'Oh my god, another one'. "And then I'm also kind of climbing on versions of myself like I'm a bunch of ants really. You can't fake that just with computer imagery. "So, we had to really mock up like an armature, like this steel thing. It was four storeys tall and there are guys in blue suits that are covered reaching down and pulling me up and I'm on a harness. "It sounds kind of fun but after week two, it's like: 'Oh god, get me out of this thing. This is punishing.'"
