Over his career, the 80-year-old Douglas – the son of the legendary Kirk Douglas – has redefined the image of the complex male lead with roles like the morally ambiguous Gordon Gekko in Wall Street, which earned him his second Oscar, to steamy psychological thrillers like Fatal Attraction and Basic Instinct.
Marvel’s ‘Ant-Man’
Though Douglas has tackled a wide range of roles throughout his almost 60-year career, younger audiences likely know him best as Dr. Hank Pym in Marvel’s Ant-Man franchise.
He last appeared in 2023’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania – but don’t expect a return to the MCU anytime soon.
“I had the experience, and I was excited to do it. I’d never done a green screen picture before,” Douglas told Deadline in an interview marking the 50th anniversary of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
