Hollywood legend Michael Douglas admits he hadn’t heard of his character Hank Pym in new movie Ant-Man until he started researching his role by reading Marvel comics.
Michael Douglas is “excited” at how important his character in ‘Ant-Man‘ is in the Marvel universe.
The ‘Wall Street’ actor was motivated to accept the part because he has never appeared in a superhero movie throughout his illustrious career.
Speaking to Total Film magazine, he explained: “Some people ask me what new things I’d like to try. Well I hadn’t done any green-screen pictures. These guys are impressive. It’s a fascinating process. I got to watch the different units, the visial-effects and the macro unit in this particular case, dealing with this incredible angle from the Ant’s point of view, which is just such a trip when you see it … It’s just mind blowing.
On working with his co-star, Douglas added: “Paul (Rudd) is a lovely guy. He’ll be very, very effective. The whole Marvel world, it’s something else. We’re preparing for weeks of promotion, going around the world. And it’s nice to have your trailer on the adventures!”
‘Ant-Man‘ is due for release on July 17.
