Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania will introduce a brand new character to the MCU with MODOK a.ok.a. Psychological Organism Designed Just for Killing. It was a enjoyable shock to see this character within the trailer for the film and he seems to be so awesomely bizarre! I’m extremely curious to see how precisely MODOK will probably be utilized within the story.
The movie’s screenwriter Jeff Loveness just lately opened up concerning the villain and mentioned how a lot enjoyable it was to introduce the splendidly absurd character. He advised SFX Journal/GamesRadar:
“MODOK is perhaps my single favourite factor that I acquired within the film. Clearly we’re very devoted to the comics with the design and the look, however then there’s a little bit of additional we put into him. Perhaps I’ll get fired off The Kang Dynasty when individuals see it, however a few of my favourite moments come from MODOK and the dynamics there.”
He then went on to share the inspiration behind the character, and it comes from two of probably the most unlikely of locations… The Simpsons and the 1988 comedy A Fish Referred to as Wanda. Loveless defined:
“I’ll simply say he was impressed by Kevin Kline in A Fish Referred to as Wanda and Frank Grimes in an outdated Simpsons episode – this actually put-upon, egocentric, entitled however then additionally deeply unhappy, insecure man who is aware of that he acquired a shit deal in life and is making an attempt to make the most effective of it.”
That looks as if the appropriate match for a malevolent big head in a flying chair. It’s additionally been confirmed that he’ll be performed within the film by Corey Stoll. The author went on to say:
“His ego will crumble the second he’s challenged however then additionally like Kevin Kline in A Fish Referred to as Wanda, he’s fairly good at killing individuals. He’s an actual unfastened cannon character and I had a large amount of enjoyable with him. That was nearly day one within the room – we cracked MODOK as a personality and the film simply turned so enjoyable.”
Properly, these feedback acquired me slightly extra excited concerning the film and what we’ll see from MODOK. That is gonna be superior!
