Michael Douglas Talks Ant-Man & SDCC


Although schedules for the upcoming SDCC are dropping like flies, Marvel has yet to announce theirs. Mark Ruffalo already announced that he and the Avengers: Age of Ultron gang will be attending, and it looks like they won't be the only ones appearing.

Speaking to Collider, Michael Douglas revealed that he is all set to go to Atlanta to start filming Marvel's troublesome movie, Ant-Man.

August, yeah.  Yeah, I’m gonna go do Ant-Man in August in Atlanta.”

However, it seems that before he hears action!, the actor will be making a  short stop at Comic Con.

“Yeah!  I’m going to Comic-Con.  I’m even dragging my son.  I promised I’m taking him out of camp … But we gotta be back here.  I’ve gotta give a cancer speech on Sunday morning.  Marvel’s 8:45 or – 8:45 on Saturday night, so we’re gonna fly all night back and drop him at camp like at 5:30, 6 in the morning in the Adirondacks, and come down and talk to 2,000 head and neck surgeons.”

It's worth noting that if there is a Ant-Man panel on Saturday at that time it won't be on Hall H, as that is when WB and DC Entertainment will be screening The Flash, Constantine, and Gotham pilots.

Despite is seemingly genuine happiness about starring in his first large scale, big-budget, VFX heavy, movie, Douglas continues to express he disappointment on Edgar Wright's departure from the project.  

“Yeah, he’s a wonderful talent.  It was very disappointing, yeah.  It was a big disappointment and more so for him because he had a lot of years invested and he was really the one initially who got them to even consider it, you know, the screenplay that he wrote.  I’m not the producer on it and I’m an actor for hire, and, you know, Marvel certainly has a pretty amazing track record, rightly or wrongly, so I think it just was that kind of combination where although they like the idea of the individual and somebody with Edgar’s individual spirit and everything, maybe just collided with an operation – I think they’re all on relatively decent terms.”

Ant-Man opens on July 17th, 2015
