And to think people thought he was too old to play Hank when they cast him, but honestly Marvel is lucky to get such a legendary actor like Michael Douglas. He's one of the best parts of these movies aside from Paul Rudd.
Scott: absolutely my days of breaking into places and stealing s*** are done now what do you want me to do Hank: I want you to break into a place to steal some s***
I agree, perfect casting! 👏 Douglas is a legend and I can't wait to see more of him as Hank in Quantumania. I just hope they don't kill Hank off because it was bad enough seeing him dusted, he deserves to be happy with Janet.
@@harrambou9468None taken and I see your point, it would have been cool to see a young Pym in his prime, but since they were doing a "passing the torch" story with Lang, it made sense.
The writers probably thought a super smart science guy becoming a superhero with his own creation was already done to death already. Hank has a lot of similarities to Tony Stark as well. However Doctor Strange and Tony Stark are practically the same person. So idk.
What's funny is that had Ant-Man actually came into fruition in the 80s, Michael Douglas was actually going to be cast as Hank Pym. Still worked out 40+ years later.
This version of Hank Pym is a bit like Al Pratt aka Atom in dc comics or AtomSmasher in the dceu as both of them were once superheroes and a member of a group such as S.H.I.E.L.D. or the justice society and both of them were eventually succeeded by younger heroes who took up their mantles and they both had at least one child who also became superheroes and took on their fathers legacy.
Would love a 6 episode Disney+ show of Hank Pym’s Ant-Man and Janet Van Dynes (Wasp) adventure where they team up to take down D tier villains like Egghead and Whirlwind
Seriously how can you have a 3 minute montage and not show Hank punching Darren Cross in the face? Darren's reaction afterward is what made the moment so iconic as well as hilarioius.
Thank you! Hank is so underrated as an MCU character and Michael Douglas is one of my favourite actors. I don't think anyone could have played him better.
if this was done while he was in his youth, I'd say Mike would make a Perfect Hank Pym if they focused on him during his younger days as Ant Man. As Old Man Hank? I swear he stole it. Rudd himself was very good but the way he played the dark untrusting but generous hearted old man? Douglas was perfect for the role
I swear the first two Ant Man movies are basically just Michael Douglas putting up with everyone’s bullshit for nearly 2 hours, and I love it! 🤣

Same 😂
Scott: absolutely my days of breaking into places and stealing s*** are done now what do you want me to do

that's what I call hitting below the belt
Douglas is so good as Pym....as someone who read the comics, they couldn't have gotten a better actor.

As good as Michael is, I think getting him (and thus, changing Hank Pym to Michael’s age, no offense) was a bad move.

@@podcastmotivation36Hank's similar to Tony Stark? Would you mind giving me some examples?
I love the delivery of “you sent my suit through the mail?!” It has such an angry and genuinely puzzled sound to it
If anyone can give Hank a heart attack it’s Scott.
Three Wombats: *“ARE WE A JOKE TO YOU?!?”*
"Scott?"
"Yeah?"
"You're full of shit."
"Oh yeah."
Can mean atoms ⚛️⚛️⚛️
2:37 Peak Hank Pym
Hank Pym is the most badass character in the MCU, no one can change my mind
2:17 This part got me laughing so bad, he looked like he was about to beat the living shit out of Scott
i really appreciate that they didn't reduce Hank to just being the mentor in these movies. The OG Ant-Man is still an active part of the team.
How is a mentor a reduction? That’s the best kind of character
What's funny is that had Ant-Man actually came into fruition in the 80s, Michael Douglas was actually going to be cast as Hank Pym. Still worked out 40+ years later.
I don’t know why but 2:38 is my favorite Line of his!
The voice crack makes it even better 🤣
Gotta love the chemistry between Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas.

Michael Douglas voice is iconic.
Michael Douglas was perfectly cast as Hank Pym! He's just so amazing!
Hank: Scott
Scott: Yeah?
Hank: You’re full of s***.
Scott: Oh Yeah!
"do you really have that?" anyone who doesn't want string cheese and juice is a MONSTER.
Came home almost an hour ago watching "Quantumania". Damn...you must watch it as fast as you can. 😍😍
Hope you enjoyed it! 🙏 I'm going to try and see it soon I just don't know when I can yet.
@@xxncisaddictxx Oh yes I did. Michael is great in it. I really hope, you can see it soon. 🙏🤗
Damn it. This is great, absolutely great. Michael is incredible 😍 👏
0:21 idk why I’ve always thought that was the funniest line in the mcu
Would love a 6 episode Disney+ show of Hank Pym’s Ant-Man and Janet Van Dynes (Wasp) adventure where they team up to take down D tier villains like Egghead and Whirlwind

3:00 😂
A sensational montage of scenes. Well done!

@@xxncisaddictxx Completely agree! It's why I've picked Hank for my cosplay!

Hank Pym is the best character in the MCU and you cannot change my mind.
i disagree
Man, I forgot how good he is in this. 😆
The dynamic between Hank and Darren reminds me so much of Master Shifu and Tai Lung 🤣
I felt that 😂😂
Michael Douglas as Hank Pym
Iconic!
Jut saw the trailer for Part 3. Damn...he looks good in it. 😍
He does! 😍 I just hope nothing happens to Hank, well I don't want anything to happen to any of them tbh because they are all like family ❤
@@xxncisaddictxx I can only agree. I hopes that too. It would be awful. 🥺Also I hope that they will show it here in our theatre. 🙏
He's also amazing in Quantumania. Freaking legend
@@TerzitosWife I was in the theater yesterday. Absolutly brilliant!
Thanks for that bro
You're welcome :)
How did they get the 3rd movie so wrong?
Change "iconic" with badass
