Michael Douglas Says Guardians Of The Galaxy Helped Convince Him To Do Ant-Man

Michael Douglas has had a storied career in film, playing many diverse roles in many movies. Douglas reveals, in an interview with Marvel.com, that he was looking for something a little different when he signed up to play Hank Pym in Ant-Man.

"My entire career, which is a lot of movies, has just been contemporary stories with no special effects, no nothing," says Douglas. "Just psychological, real stories. This film, to me, was just excitement. This is great. I wanted to get into the Marvel world, you know? I want to taste the Kool-Aid."

But there was one experience in particular that helped convince Douglas that he really wanted to be a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

"It was just after seeing Guardians of the Galaxy in IMAX 3D, and it blew my mind. I loved it. I loved the sense of humor. I looked at the Ant-Man script and saw the tone being set, the sense of adventure with a comedic twist."

In Ant-Man, with the ability to shrink in size but grow in strength, a con man (Paul Rudd) must help his mentor (Douglas) protect the secret of his Ant-Man suit and pull off a heist that will save the world.
