Michael Douglas’ Hank Pym and Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark have often been compared due to their wit. Both Hank Pym and Tony Stark are brilliant scientists and inventors in the Marvel Comics universe. They both have complex personalities, dealing with personal struggles and moral dilemmas.

He talked about requesting Marvel to kill his character in the third movie. He explained that he wanted his death to be a serious one with all the impressive special effects. “I said I’d like to have a serious death with all these great special effects. There’s got to be some fantastic way where I can shrink to an ant size and explode, whatever it is. I want to use all those effects.”
