Corey Stoll Reveals His Son Refuses to Watch ‘Ant-Man’ Because It’s Strange to See Him as a Villain

Corey Stoll depicted the character Darren Cross, also known as Yellowjacket, in ‘Ant-Man.’ In the film, Stoll’s character serves as the CEO of Pym Technologies and becomes fixated on replicating the technology of Dr. Hank Pym (portrayed by Michael Douglas). This obsession leads him to create the Yellowjacket suit, which shares similarities with Ant-Man’s suit but with a militaristic agenda.

Although his arc seemingly concludes in ‘Ant-Man,’ Stoll returned to the MCU in the recently released ‘Quantumania,’ albeit under a different guise – M.O.D.O.K.

Fans heavily criticized M.O.D.O.K. for its poor CGI quality, with Stoll’s character offering little beyond comedic relief. This departure from the source material, where M.O.D.O.K. often posed a genuine threat, disappointed many.

In a recent interview with People, Stoll revealed that his 8-year-old son refuses to watch the ‘Ant-Man’ franchise because it feels strange to see his father portraying a villain.

He was like, ‘This is weird.’ Seeing me as a bad guy is a little weird for him.

Stoll also shared that he endeavors to educate his son about his profession and delve into its creative dimensions.

He actually got to see what went into creating the work. That was really important for us, for him to know that I’m not doing this to be famous. It’s not fame for fame’s sake. That fame is a byproduct and something that helps you get more work, but it’s the work that is why I do it and what gives me satisfaction.

Aside from his MCU role, Stoll was recently seen in ‘Rebel Moon’ as Sindri and is set to lend his voice to Lex Luthor in ‘Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths – Part Three,’ slated for release in 2024.
