Like Every Other Actor, ANT-MAN's Michael Douglas Is Hoping To Join THE AVENGERS
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Hank Pym was Ant-Man in the 1960s, meaning he obviously wasn't a founding member of The Avengers. Even so, Michael Douglas has now revealed that he's hoping to get the chance to suit up in the near future by joining the ranks of Earth's Mightiest Heroes...
One of the most disappointing things about the otherwise brilliant The Avengers is the fact that Ant-Man and The Wasp weren't founding members of the team. That's partly down to the many times Edgar Wright delayed the movie and the direction Marvel decided to go in by having an older Hank Pym serve as a mentor to Scott Lang. Regardless, Michael Douglas is very keen on reprising the role in the near future. Captain America: Civil War or as a member of The Avengers? "Honey, I’ll go anywhere. I’ll go anywhere they want me to. I like this Marvel family; it’s a lovely group. I’ll be honest, their track record’s impeccable — I mean, that’s 12 in a row, right? Who’s done that?"
As for Ant-Man, Douglas had nothing but good things to say about the project. "I think it's incredible," he tells Vulture, "when you have a break from working with the first unit, which is the actors, and you get to go watch the second unit with the stuntmen or the third unit with the special effects or the fourth unit which is the ant’s point of view, the macro photography — and you see how they put it all together."
