Michael Douglas, who plays Hank Pym in the Ant-Man trilogy, wanted to be killed off in the MCU years ago.
"I would have been killed off after [Ant-Man and the Wasp], but they wouldn't let me," Douglas said on Happy Sad Confused.
On what propelled him into the comic book world, Douglas said health scares (the actor was diagnosed with cancer in 2010) forced his hand in trying out new genres: comedy, period pieces, and – yes – superhero movies.
"I've never done a green screen movie. I said to my agents I'd like to do one to see what they're like," Douglas said. "It's hard acting, man."
Douglas added, "We did Ant-Man. Paul Rudd is a wonderful actor, a lovely group – but then you can't get out of it!
It appears death is clearly on the mind for Douglas when it comes to his Marvel character. He told The Hollywood Reporter ahead of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania's release that he would only return for a fourth instalment as long as he could be killed off.
Out of the Ant-Fam, it appears only Paul Rudd will be present and accounted for in Avengers: Doomsday – a cataclysmic crossover that sees Earth's Mightiest Heroes go up against Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom.
