The actor had asked for his character to die for his latest film in the Marvel universe.
The MCU has been going through a difficult period for some time, between flops and disappointments, notably with changes of plans for Kang and Avengers 5. The universe headed by Kevin Feige needs to get back on track. Except that, since the death of Iron Man in 2019, in Avengers: Endgame, all the characters who made the studio successful are leaving the adventure little by little.
The Guardians of the Galaxy said goodbye last year and Loki shouldn’t give any more news for a while. But Kevin Feige is surely keeping all options open for possible returns in Avengers 5 And Avengers 6, which also interests a great director. The only ones who are (almost) certain not to be there are those who are dead. And justly, an actor tried to make his character pass the gun in the absolute chaos that was Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
The best element of‘Ant-Man 3
A death worthy of the name
It’s in the show The View that the actor Michael Douglas, interpreter of Hank Pym in the saga Ant-Manspoke about the fate he wanted for his character.
“This was my request for the third [que Hank Pym meure]. I said I’d like to have a serious death, with all those great special effects. There must be some fantastic way to shrink me to the size of an ant and blow me up. I want to use all these special effects. But it was the last. Now I don’t think I’ll come back.“
We face the announcement ofAnt-Man 4
This is not the first time that the actor has explained his wish to put an end to the comic book character. Indeed, during the first‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumaniathe actor declared to The Hollywood Reporter that he would return for a possible fourth episode, “as long as he could die there“. At this same screening, Stephen Broussard, producer on Quantumaniaseemed confident about the release of a fourth feature film: “We’re already thinking about it. […] These conversations, these hallway noises have already started between me, Peyton [Reed, réalisateur des Ant-Man] and Kevin [Feige].”
From, Ant-Man 4 hasn’t been canceled, but it hasn’t been confirmed either. With the total failure ofAnt-Man 3 at the box office and Disney’s desire to move only towards “safe” plans, the adventure has little chance of continuing. The words of the actor Free fall And Basic Instinct here seem to support this idea. While waiting to see if Hank Pym will have the right to a death worthy of the name, Michael Douglas is starring in Franklinon Apple TV+.
