When it was first announced that Marvel Studios would be going with Scott Lang as its Ant-Man for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there was some disappointment amongst fans over the fact that we wouldn’t get to see Dr. Henry ‘Hank’ Pym suiting up as the miniature hero.
Michael Douglas was of course subsequently announced as securing the role of Hank Pym, a founding Avenger in the Marvel comic books, and it seems that Douglas is keen to “kick some serious ass” as the original Ant-Man should the opportunity for a prequel movie arise.
“I’d like to see [Pym], if there’s magic, we do movie magic in terms of flashbacks,” Douglas tells Screen Rant during a press interview for the upcoming release of Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp. “How about getting Hank back to his prime age as the Original Ant-Man and kick some serious ass? I’m ready. I’m geared. I need a good stunt double. You know, I’ll find him, but now you can make me look 40 years younger let’s do the whole job!”
