Michael Douglas Is Hank Pym In Edgar Wright’s ‘Ant-Man’!

Briefly: Just one day after winning the Golden Globe for his performance in Behind the Candelabra, Michael Douglas has been cast in a big role in an upcoming Marvel film.

The actor will portray Hank Pym in Edgar Wright’s Ant-Man.

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige stated that “With Hank Pym’s rich history in the Marvel Universe, we knew we needed an actor capable of bringing the weight and stature to the role that the character deserves. We felt incredibly relieved when Michael Douglas agreed to step into the part with the charm and fortitude he brings to every character he inhabits, and couldn’t be more excited to see what he will do to bring Hank Pym to life.”

This means that we also know just which Ant-Man Paul Rudd will be playing in the film, Scott Lang.
