Michael Douglas, who stars as Hank Pym in Ant-Man, was asked by MTV who he would cast as Hank’s wife and original Wasp Janet van Dyne in a potential future installment. It didn’t take him long to think of his 45-year-old wife.

“Catherine Zeta-Jones,” Douglas immediately replied. “Wouldn’t be a bad idea. Remember her in Entrapment? You know, she’s pretty good at all that stuff. Then it would call for me to put on all that CGI, where I get twenty-five years younger. So I can go back and put on the Ant-Man suit. I’d be happy at this point to be in another Ant-Man. Or even if Hope goes to be The Wasp, my kid, or Catherine, who knows.”
Listen to Douglas’ comments in the video below.
