Douglas updated his profile yesterday with the news that he filmed his final scenes this past weekend. Douglas will play Hank Pym, the original Ant-Man in the Marvel Comics Universe. While the comics’ Pym is a young and active crime fighter, the Cinematic Universe depicts him as an elder man whose only credit (so far) is inventing the Ant-Man suit that Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang steals and wears.

“Finished my last days on Ant-Man this weekend,” Douglas wrote. “Had a great time, a new experience with all these blue screens!”
Along with the update, Douglas posted a picture of himself and his stunt double dressed as Pym. It’s worth noting that Douglas (and the double) has a bullet hole on his right shoulder. While it doesn’t look like a fatal shot, the wound does create the possibility that Hank Pym could face mortal danger in Ant-Man. Perhaps Scott Lang will steal the Ant-Man suit through hostile means. It’s not like he’s the most heroic guy out there in the Marvel Universe.
Ant-Man, directed by Peyton Reed, hits theaters on July 17, 2015.
