AntMan as Tommy Doyle?

from trivia

Paul Rudd was offered to reprise his Tommy Doyle character, but due to scheduling conflicts with Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021) he had to decline

Malek Akkad addressed and explained why it would have been distracting for Paul Rudd to reprise the role of Tommy Doyle (whom he played in Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995)). At a press event attended by Screen Rant, Akkad admitted it would have been "wonderful" had Rudd reprised the role in Halloween Kills, adding, "It would have warmed my heart and definitely there's some disappointment there." Ultimately, however, Akkad felt Anthony Michael Hall "fulfills this role in a way that's maybe less jarring for the narrative and maybe won't take people out of it." He added, "Because Paul Rudd is so big for a lot of things like comedy and whatever, he's a fantastic actor, I think it turned out this way for a reason and we're so excited. Anthony Michael Hall does a knockout performance, it's definitely gonna be one of the fans' favorites
