Remember that pretty disgusting Avengers: Endgame fan theory that posed Ant-Man initiating his Giant-Man powers whilst inside Thanos' purple anus? Well, supposedly it wouldn't actually work.

"Thanos could take a punch from the Hulk, we've seen that," he said. "And it stands to reason his whole body is at least as strong as that. If Ant-Man expanded, he would be simply crushed against the immovable walls of Thanos' mighty rectum."

Eesh – now that's how you reject a fan theory and give us a seriously unwated visual all at the same time.

None of this particularly matters anyway, because, as fans know, Josh Brolin's mo-capped tyrant was finished off by Thor's thunderous axe, Stormbreaker, in the end.



But this actually isn't the first time Markus has publicly stamped on an Avengers fan theory.

Just ask Tony Stark...
