Michael Douglas cast in Ant-Man

Actor Michael Douglas has been cast as original Ant-Man Hank Pym in the Edgar Wright directed Marvel film. This means that already confirmed actor Paul Rudd will play the second Ant-Man Scott Lang.

Plot details are pretty scarce at the moment, however the film has been rumoured to be based on the episode of Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes 'To Steal an Ant-Man' where Lang steals a retired Pym's size altering suit to rob banks but later redeems himself. Ant-Man will release in 2015.
