Marvel Has Called Michael Douglas About Ant-Man And The Wasp

Marvel Studios recently announced a sequel to Ant-Man. Titled Ant-Man and the Wasp, the film is guaranteed to feature the return of Paul Rudd as Scott Lang and Evangeline Lily as Hope Van Dyne.

Lang wasn't the only Ant-man in the first movie though. There was also original Ant-Man Hank Pym, played by Michael Douglas. Will he be returning for the sequel?

Douglas tells Collider that he been contacted by Marvel about the possibility of reprising the role.

I just got a call recently – they want to negotiate for a sequel and I thought "That's great!" Hopefully, I won't have to carry quite as much expositional dialogue as the first one but I had a wonderful time doing it. Just a great, great time. The cast was fantastic. Paul, Evangeline, Michael Pena – I'm sure he'll be back. If they can scrape Corey Stoll off the wall, I'm sure they'll want him too – he's such a good villain. And Peyton too. It was a lovely experience, so you know, I welcome it. I chuckle about being involved with a movie that already has a release date in 2018. Ya know, it's hard to conceive of that, but it's all good, all the way around, it's all good.
