Screen Rant : Michael Douglas , you are a legend , sir .
Michael Douglas : Woof .
Screen Rant : It ’s true . When we last control Hank , we know that he ’s not a buff of the Avengers . So , what does Hank mean about Scott consort around with the squad inCivil War ?
Michael Douglas : He ’s overturned . He ’s like , he blew it . He got big , exposed himself , all of my employment and all of that under house arrest . He is in the theatre . You do it which house that is . Yeah , no , no . I ’ve never been a big fan of his . I mean he was n’t my selection . You remember that . He was a cat burglar . He steal my causa , now maybe stealing my daughter . So , I ’m seem at him . He needs to know , I ’m watching you . You know that .
Screen Rant : That does not pilot with Hank Pym at all .
Michael Douglas : No , no . No .
Screen Rant : One matter that ’s interesting about Hank is his relationships , in the past tense that he ’s developed , and kind of jolly , I do n’t want to say break , but does n’t have the best stand with . But he ’s mend his family relationship a short bit with Hope . Because now they ’re on a quest to find Jan. Can you mouth to me about the kinship that he has with Bill Foster ?
Michael Douglas : Yeah , well , Bill Foster work at Pym Laboratories back in the earlier one , and they were competitive . They had their emergence and I think Hank was threatened a little bit by Bill Foster who ’s a jolly smart guy in . So , it ’s nice to see in this one that they kind of dissolve that . And more significantly , Larry Fishburne is an actor who– It ’s just the delight of doing these variety of pic that we really bug out up working together . He was everything I ’d hoped for . Guy is so bright and such a wondrous worker . He ’s got interests outside of acting . Like a little bit , like I do , likes politics and history . So , I had a really , really good time get to know him .
Screen Rant : Speaking of movies like this . These blockbuster franchise movie are the newfangled trend of Hollywood . How do you feel about serialized storytelling in a cinematic data format nowadays ?
Michael Douglas : Well , does n’t matter how I palpate . We know which way the audience are go . But , for the kind of flick that I did , most of my career , more character driven pieces , the streaming public has come in . In fact , you know , with Netflix , Amazon and all of that . And you ’re seeing more and more even in that area . These miniskirt - series , eight - time of day , mass are binge watching shows . So , they seem to be getting used to that . I am in awe of audiences , of how well they can connect all of these Marvel stories together . It ’s really amazing .
Screen Rant : Where would you like to see Hank go next ?
Michael Douglas : Well since we ’re on this affair of , I like to see them , if there ’s a magic , we do moving picture conjuration in condition of flashback . How about just getting Hank back to his prime age as the original Ant - Man and kick some serious nookie .
Screen Rant : I was just going to ask you that .
Michael Douglas : I ’m ready . I ’m here . I need a good stunt double . I ’ll find him . But now you just get me– Make me look forty years younger —
