After a career spanning over 6 decades, Kirk Douglas passed away this week at the incredible age of 103.

Douglas never appeared in a comic book movie, but his son Michael plays Hank Pym in the MCU, and it looks like Kirk paid a visit to the set on at least one occasion.

Ant-Man director Peyton Reed has shared a black and white photo to Twitter to commemorate the legendary actor, who was present on the set of Ant-Man and The Wasp back in 2017 while Michael Douglas was being fitted for his costume.


Maybe not particularly newsworthy, but a nice way of paying tribute to a true Hollywood icon whose death we didn't cover here on CBM.

RIP
Such a great great actor. One of Hollywood's greatest, with so many classics under his belt.

100% newsworthy. Kirk Douglas was a true Hollywood legend from the Golden Age. I hope younger generations honor his legacy.

He will be most remembered in 'Spartacus,' but if you haven't seen 'Paths of Glory', directed by Stanley Kubrick, I highly recommend it.

@rexlincoln - All great films, however, you left one out.
The Villain starring Kirk Douglas, Ann Margaret and a relative newcomer named Arnold Schwarzenneger! ;)

Kurt Douglas would have made a wonderful Hollis T. Mason (Nite Owl) in some alternate universe where the watchmen comic book or story was created in the 50s.

What I took away from this is that Michael Douglas was actually supposed to wear the suit in that movie.

@Ha1frican - "April 2017, Beverly Hills. Kirk Douglas presides over Michael’s first Ant-Man suit fitting for ANT-MAN AND THE WASP."

So cool that he could be there for his son in that role... i wonder if he was a big ant-man fan in earlier years?!

Such a rad pic. The guy in mother f**king Spartacus is on set to see his son (a fully ripened man himself!) suited up in one of cinemas most successful experiments, these interconnected stories. So cool
