Thank you Disney for inviting me to attend the #antmanandthewaspevent and hosting me down in LA for the press junket!
Personally, if I were to think of one of the most iconic people to be sitting in a room with.. I would have to say Michael Douglas is number one! Growing up in the late 80’s and 90’s I was exposed to some of his best and most noted work….. again, in my opinion. When I think Michael Douglas, the first movies that come to mind are, Basic Instinct, Fatal Attraction, A Perfect Murder, and Disclosure. So let’s just say, when he walked into the room… I think I may have had my first case of being star-struck.
For as iconic as he may be, I tell you, he was the most laid back and relaxed person to be around. You truly felt at ease with him, like you could hang out and talk for hours. I am sure his natural charisma, charm and EVEN BETTER in person good looks had nothing to do with it….. *wink – wink*
As Michael strolled into the room, he sat down and broke the ice with “Thank you very much. Good morning, class. We’re going to learn about quantum mechanics this morning.” What a fun way to start the morning!
How do you feel seeing the movie all come together?
To much of our surprise, when we asked Michael “How do you feel seeing it all come together?” he shot back with, “I haven’t seen it yet!” we were in complete shock, but he’s just cool like that and that’s how he rolls… lol! Michael mentioned that there is a lot going on, all in separate stages, there is the acting, the stunt guys and the green screens, but it all comes together to create Marvel magic.
“Our director Peyton was, he’s beaming. He looks excited, so that’s great.”
What was it like being reunited with the cast again?
Being that Michael Douglas was reprising his role as “Dr. Hank Pym” we asked him, What was it like being reunited with the cast again?
“There’s just an inherent relaxation and joy normally about a sequel. That’s why actors and actresses work together or directors works together, you don’t have to introduce yourself again, you know each other.
While talking about the cast he didn’t leave out how it was to work with Michelle,
What your reaction to seeing yourself looking young on the screen?
Now, honestly… I didn’t really notice a huge difference in them making him look 30 years younger in part of the movie….. that may be because, one… he ages very well and it is just not that notable to begin with and two, again my favorite movies of him are from the 90’s which would put him in that age bracket that I most know him for….. but to Follow up on that thought…. we asked him, What your reaction to seeing yourself looking young on the screen?
Was the science in the film tough for you?
Being that there was a lot of technical knowledge to this film, we asked Michael, “Was the science in the film tough for you?”

Are you going to be suiting up in the next Avenger’s film?
And the big question we were all wanting to know…. Are you going to be suiting up in the next Avenger’s film?
“If I open my mouth, a blowgun–. It’s a marvel blowgun. I have learned my lesson. You have nothing. KGB has nothing on me.”
