This Huge MCU Star Is Joining The Cast Of Only Murders In The Building Season 3
The surprise Hulu hit "Only Murders in the Building" stars comedy legends Steve Martin and Martin Short as well as Selena Gomez representing a younger generation of stars, and it's been able to snag plenty of other big names as well. There was Sting's memorable performance as himself in Season 1, and Amy Schumer also played herself in Season 2. Nathan Lane was part of the supporting cast in both seasons, and Season 2 added names like Shirley MacLaine and Cara Delevingne. The point is, you never quite know who is going to show up at the Arconia.
But now, we do know that a certain famous face will be a part of Season 3 of "Only Murders in the Building," albeit in an unknown capacity. And the face in question also happens to be one of the biggest stars in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, making this a treat for the many fans of both properties who are probably out there.
Paul Rudd is following up his Season 2 cameo with a role in Season 3
If you're caught up on "Only Murders in the Building," you already know that Paul Rudd (who plays Scott Lang, aka Ant-Man, in the MCU) popped up in the Season 2 finale as Broadway star Ben Glenroy. Variety has broken the news that the cameo was not a one-and-done affair since Glenroy is set to be a character in the show's upcoming third season.
"Only Murders in the Building" co-creator John Hoffman hyped up Rudd's addition to the cast, saying, "Paul Rudd, after making an auspicious entrance into the world of our show at the end of Season 2 as Ben Glenroy, is someone we clearly want to know more about and see in our upcoming Season 3." How much screen time Rudd will get over the course of the season remains to be seen, but the possibilities range from another guest spot to a full-blown series regular.
