Michael Douglas said on the Happy Sad Confused podcast that he asked Marvel to write out his character Hank Pym after Ant-Man and the Wasp, but the studio refused. The 82-year-old actor joked that he should have read the fine print before signing up for the superhero franchise. He has since appeared in a third Ant-Man film.
