Jeff Loveness had intended to bring Jennifer Coolidge onboard to play Hank Pym&#039;s love interest Linda in Ant-Man 3.

“She’ll wind up in the MCU”- &#8216;Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania&#8217; Writer Reveals Major Plans He Had for Jennifer Coolidge, as He Predicts a Possible Character She Can Play in MCU

Marvel has already kickstarted its phase 5 with Ant-Man and the Wasp:
Quantumania. Despite Marvel’s big plans for phase 5, somehow the film failed to
make an impact as expected. However, the Paul Rudd-led movie did reveal a few
things like the relationship between Janet van Dyne and Lord Krylar. And the
brief fling between her husband Hank Pym and Linda. While Linda did not appear
in the film, script-writer Jeff Loveness had Jennifer Coolidge in his mind while
drafting the script.

In a recent chat with The Hollywood Reporter, Loveness revealed
[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/ant-man-and-the-wasp-quantumania-deleted-scene-avengers-1235333106/] that
he had some great ideas about Linda and the perfect actress that could fill in
the role. He had hoped to cast Emmy-winning actress Jennifer Coolidge in the
role. He even did a zoom call with his colleagues from Marvel. But
unfortunately, it never materialized and he was forced to chuck the idea for the
time being. Although Coolidge did not get an offer from Marvel yet, Jeff is
hopeful that she will become a part of the MCU in the future. He pitched her for
the role of Doctor Doom.

“We’ll save her for next time. I’m sure she’ll wind up in the MCU, sometimes.
She can be Doctor Doom,” he said. 

Even though it’s disappointing that The White Lotus actress couldn’t have her
MCU debut, Doctor Doom seems like a good idea. He is one of the most powerful
villains in the Marvel comics. The character debuted in Fantastic Four #5. He
was originally supposed to play an adversary to the Fantastic Four but he
evolved into something more terrifying and bigger. Interestingly, Marvel also
hinted at him coming in Ant-Man 3.

DOES ANT-MAN 3 POST-CREDIT SCENE HINT AT JENNIFER COOLIDGE PLAYING DOCTOR DOOM?

Ant-Man 3’s post-credit scene revealed Kang arriving on a Time Platform. It is
exactly what Reed Richards used to arrive at the right time to join hands with
the Illuminati in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. And it was
created by none other than Doctor Doom. With Marvel leaving such clues, and
Coolidge coming so close to her MCU debut, it is quite possible for the actress
to play the supervillain in the next Marvel movie.

We think Marvel will do anything now to undo the blunder it did by dropping
Michael Pena from the sequel.
