Look, I like the idea that they're taking a bit of a Watchmen-take on Hank Pym. Wright said that in the MCU, Pym will have been fighting crime as Ant-Man in the 60's. MY main concern is - well, where does this leave Wasp? I REALLY wanted to see Pym and Janet fight alongside The Avengers - of course Pym is ruled out, but so far not Janet. The rumors last November about Rashida Jones testing for Wasp we're mentioned alongside the Paul Rudd casting rumors - those turned out to be true, so I have faith that Rashida Jones' involvement is true as well. Honestly, I wouldn't mind if they put Janet with Scott Lang. It'd be completely unfaithful to the comics, but I want Marvel to do ANYTHING they can to throw her in an Avengers movie. She's one of the few big-Marvel heroines that Marvel Studios has the rights to.

As for Michael Douglas himself, great casting. As Hank Pym? Not what I wanted. Marvel seems to be casting a lot of big names as of recent (Ben Kingsley, Robert Redford) and I feel that they aren't being put to proper use.
