One of the cast members of "Ant-Man" revealed the reason why he accepted the project from Marvel.
Michael Douglas isn't the type of actor that would appear in a superhero movie that's why many fans were surprised to find out that he accepted the role of Hank Pym.
During an interview with Collider, Catherine Zeta-Jones' husband admitted that he did the movie for their children.
"They're so excited. I've finally got a picture that they are so excited about. Dad is cool," Douglas said. The "Basic Instinct" actor got married to "The Mask of Zorro" star in 2000 and they have a daughter named Carys Zeta and a son named Dylan Michael.
"You have to understand, for most of my career, I've done so many R-rated pictures," the 70-year-old actor explained. "They can never see any of my movies. Just recently, at 14 and 12, they're becoming more aware of some of the things that I've done. So, this is a lot of fun," he added.
The correspondent asked Michael Douglas if he had seen the full film of "Ant-Man" and he revealed that he has not seen it. However, he revealed that the movie is like one of the latest Marvel blockbuster film.
"It's much more like 'Guardians of the Galaxy', with the humor," he said. "It's just funny, against all of this grandiose stuff, that there's Ant-Man. It's getting a great response."
He wasn't the first actor to compare Paul Rudd's latest flick to Chris Pratt's mega movie. Bobby Cannavale, who stars as Paxton in "Ant-Man", also revealed in an interview that the new Marvel film will have some humor in it.
"I haven't seen anything but it felt funny," the 44-year old actor told Nuke The Fridge. "It's Paul [Rudd], so I think they're not hiring [him] to be The Winter Soldier. It's going to have a sense of levity to it, like 'Guardians of the Galaxy'."
Let's find out if "Ant-Man" will be as funny as the "Guardians of the Galaxy" on July 17, 2015.
