On the other hand, you have Paul Rudd, who is a major player in the comedy genre, but who quite literally has never been in an action film, unless you count the &#8220;anchorman rumble.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">But, according to Joseph Gordon-Levitt, this is all a rumor.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theculturednerd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/mts_soboredomg-1332601-joseph-gordon-levitt-gq-2012-cover-900-600__span.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-10305\" alt=\"mts_soboredomg-1332601-joseph-gordon-levitt-gq-2012-cover-900-600__span\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theculturednerd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/mts_soboredomg-1332601-joseph-gordon-levitt-gq-2012-cover-900-600__span-275x300.jpg\" width=\"198\" height=\"216\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In an interview with the\u00a0<a title=\"Huffington Post\" href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.fr\/2013\/10\/15\/joseph-gordon-levitt-ant-man-rumeurs_n_4100516.html?utm_hp_ref=france\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Huffington Post<\/a>, Gordon-Levitt said the following in regards to this recent rumor;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><em>\u201cThere is always a lot of rumors around these projects and so far it is still only discussions.
