Michael Douglas co-stars in the July 17 release as Lang’s mentor and original Ant-Man, Dr. Hank Pym.

The movie will follow the Rudd’s con-man character embracing his heroic side to help Dr. Pym protect the secret behind his Ant-Man suit, which gives the man inside the ability to shrink in size, but increase strength.

Director Peyton Reed replaced Edgar Wright, who exited the project in May due to creative differences with the Disney-owned studio.
