Michael Douglas was recently at TIFF promoting his new
film The Reach and spoke briefly about his first experience at SDCC, and the
new Ant-Man director Peyton Reed.
You looked like you were enjoying your time at
Comic-Con this year, where you were touting Ant-Man.
Well,
I brought my 14-year-old son along, and I sort of lived it through him. The
bizarre thing, he was the youngest kid there! Most of it is these weird geeky,
40-, 50-year-olds, guys who were comics addicts when they were kids. I remember
reading a few comics when I was a kid, but not like these people! I don’t know
where these people come from. They kind of remind me of Ken Kesey up in Oregon,
macrobiotic freaks coming out of the mountains bare-footed. Who are these
people? It was an education.
How's Peyton Reed, who took over Ant-Man after
Edgar Wright left?
He’s
good. I haven’t started yet, actually — I go down tomorrow, and it’s my first
day. So I’ve met him a couple times, but he seems to be in control of this
beast, this wild beast. Marvel has got it down to a science, pretty much, and
they've got kind of a phenomenal track record. I love this picture they did
this summer, Guardians of the Galaxy.
It’s really good! I think that's given Marvel the confidence to step out in
this whole new area, so I’m looking forward to adding to it.
Slated to open on July 17, 2015, Ant-Man also stars
Corey Stoll, Evangeline Lilly, and David Dastmalchian, John Slattery, Bobby
Cannavale, Michael Peña, Abby Ryder Fortson (Togetherness), Judy Greer, Wood
Harris (Remember the Titans), Gregg Turkington (The Comedy), and T.I. (American
Gangster).
