The surprise announcement that two-time Academy Award winner Michael Douglas will play Hank Pym in the upcoming Ant-Man feature film, shocked a lot of critics and film writers— but not Douglas and his family.
"I've been dying to do a Marvel picture for so long. The script is really fun, the director is really good. Dylan (the actor's 13-year-old son) will love it. He'll have a picture he can see."
"Sometimes— like when they didn't see you for Liberace— you've got to shake them up a little bit and have some fun."
Douglas will star opposite Paul Rudd in the Edgar Wright film, which is set for release on July 31, 2015.
