If it were up to Michael Douglas , his Ant-Man character, Hank Pym, wouldnt have survived as long as he has in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

While appearing on The View earlier this week, the 79-year-old actor addressed his past comments about his desires to be killed off in the franchise.

[Death] actually was my request for the third [movie], Douglas explained of his ingenious character who managed to survive the dangerous events in all three films. I said Id like to have a serious [death], with all these great special effects.

Theres got to be some fantastic way where I can shrink to an ant size and explode, whatever it is, he added. I want to use all those effects. But, that was on the last one. Now, I dont think Im going to show up.

Douglas didnt immediately respond to HuffPosts requests for comment.

The Oscar winning-actor first starred as the passionate scientist in 2015s hit film Ant-Man, which starred Paul Rudd as the miniature superhero. Douglas also appeared in 2018s sequel, Ant-Man and the Wasp and 2023s Quantumania.

Douglass latest comments come after he told The Hollywood Reporter in February 2023 that he would return for a fourth film as Pym as long as I could die.

While film producer Stephen Broussard noted in a separate interview that Marvel Studios is eyeing a fourth Ant-Man film, considering how badly Quantumania bombed , were not exactly holding our breath.
