In recent days, popular rapper and actor Clifford Joseph Harris Jr., formerly known on stage as TI, has been accused of multiple sexual harassment charges and abuse. This information was brought to the attention of Disney and, as a result, the star has just lost his role in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, the third film in the Scott Lang movies for the MCU.
TI played the ex-criminal Dave in the first two Ant-Man films. Dave is a friend of Kurt (David Dastmalchian) and Luis (Michael Peña), who assists Scott Lang in his adventures, in addition to helping him steal Hank Pym’s Ant-Man costume. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Marvel Studios and Disney have fjoinred forces and dismissed the actor, while Peña and Dastmalchian are confirmed to return.
TI and his wife, Tameka Cottle, were accused by eleven people. The alleged crimes include sexual harassment and abuse, intimidation, kidnapping, and even forced narcotics ingestion. So far, the two deny the charges and are being investigated by the American justice.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is slated to hit theaters in 2022, although the exact release date has yet to be revealed. Peyton Reed returns to the directors seat, with the rest of the cast composed by Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Douglas, Michelle Pfeiffer, Kathryn Newton, and Jonathan Majors.
