William Jackson Harper Will Reportedly Appear In ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’

Following some memorable roles alongside Aya Cash and Cristin Milioti since his breakthrough role on The Good Place, William Jackson Harper is next joining the highest-grossing film franchise of all time. According to a new report from insider Daniel Richtman, Harper is joining the MCU with a role in the upcoming Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.

Per Richtman’s scoop, which has since been picked up by fellow entertainment sites like The DisInsider, Harper will portray the leader of the rebels group inside the Quantum Realm that fight against Kang. Unfortunately, this means disappointing a host of fans on social media that were hoping to see the actor cast as Reed Richards AKA Mister Fantastic in the MCU.
