"With Hank Pym's rich history in the Marvel Universe, we know we needed an actor capable of bringing the weight and stature to the role that the character deserves," Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige told Variety. "We felt incredibly relieved when Michael Douglas agreed to step into the part with the charm and fortitude he brings to every character he inhabits, and couldn't be more excited to see what he will do to bring Hank Pym to life."
The next Marvel movie to hit theaters will be "Guardians of the Galaxy," which is said to have a release date of July 2015.
