Marvel have announced that – fresh from his Golden Globe victory for “Behind The Candelabra” this weekend – Michael Douglas will be playing Hank Pym in Marvel Studios’ Ant-Man.

On the casting news, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige said “With Hank Pym’s rich history in the Marvel Universe, we knew we needed an actor capable of bringing the weight and stature to the role that the character deserves. 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.”

Marvel also confirmed that Paul Rudd will be playing Scott Lang in the Edgar Wright-directed movie, the plot of which is still a closely guarded secret.

So, what do we make of this casting news then?
