Hollywood legend Bill Murray, who is known for the role of Peter Venkman in Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters: Afterlife, as well as the role of Phil in Groundhog Day, once again opened up about his appearance in the upcoming MCU movie Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.

Last October, Murray casually revealed that he was cast in the upcoming Marvel movie in an undisclosed role. Although Marvel didn’t officially confirm the casting, and the main star Paul Rudd remained coy when he was asked about it, we can only presume that Murray wasn’t joking when he revealed his involvement in the movie.

Now, Bill Murray revealed one more small, but very important piece of information. In The Eli Manning Show, Murray recently said only one sentence: “I’m a bad guy.”, which can mean only two things. Either Ant-Man 3 will feature multiple villains, or Murray is still joking around, as some fans presumed.

He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
