The 69-year-old Hollywood actor Michael Douglas will play scientist Hank Pym in Marvel's superhero film 'Ant-man'!

Though a little confusing as Paul Rudd was just cast as the lead in Ant-Man a few weeks ago, and many of us naturally assumed Rudd would play Pym! Hank Pym is the creator of the technology to shrink a human to a size of an insect and thus becoming the titular role of Ant-man! Rudd who will play Scott Lang is the alter-ego of the superhero.

The plot for Ant-Man is being kept firmly under wraps. The film, directed by Edgar Wright, is scheduled to be in theatres in July 2015.
