10 Shocking (But Believable) Theories About Upcoming Movies
3. Michael Douglas Will Play A Young Hank Pym With The Aid Of CGI Ant-Man
When Paul Rudd was named Edgar Wright's "Ant-Man", the ambiguity of the character name (there are three heroes whove donned the shrinking costume) suggested there could be some more super-casting to come. And boy were we right; Michael Douglas will play Hank Pym, the original Ant-Man who will hand the costume down to Rudd (who must be playing Scott Lang). Suddenly, Marvels least intriguing film has grown into a must-see. Quite how much the sixty-nine year old actor will be in the film remains to be seen the initial excitement over the announcement is only just dying down after all but as it's the modern-day world (no doubt recovering from Ultron's antics earlier in the summer) where most of the film will be set, hell probably be an Obi-Wan-like mentor to the younger Rudd. Captain America aside, the films have been a mostly present day affair. But now we have an opportunity, nay incentive, for a vibrant sixties/seventies setting. It would require the normally shaky CGI de-aging (think Jeff Bridges in TRON: Legacy), but Wright would be crazy to not include at least some of Douglas' Pym in his prime.
