Michelle Pfeiffer was skeptical about Ant-Man, says was pleasantly surprised

Michelle Pfeiffer explained how she was not familiar with the superhero Ant Man and was initially a little skeptical but was pleasantly surprised.

Actor Michelle Pfeiffer says she was skeptical about Ant-Man, and was “pleasantly surprised” with it.

Michelle Pfeiffer said that she has been a Paul Rudd fan, and the movie was really smart and funny.

“My first exposure to Marvel would have been ‘Spider-Man’ and then ‘Iron Man’, both of which I really loved. I guess I discovered Marvel through my children,” Pfeiffer said in a statement to IANS.

“Then I saw ‘Ant-Man’, and I really loved it. At first I thought ‘Ant-Man’? I was not familiar with the superhero Ant-Man. By the sound of it I was a little skeptical, but I really was pleasantly surprised.

“I’ve always been such a Paul Rudd fan, and the movie was really smart and really funny and also grounded in reality in way that it had this very unusual tone to it that I think set it apart from a lot of the other superhero movies that I had seen,” she added.

Marvel Studios will soon be back with the second part Ant-Man and the Wasp, directed by Peyton Reed. The movie is set between the events of Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War.

Pfeiffer essays role of Janet van Dyne aka the OG Wasp alongside Douglas’ character.

On the cast, she said: “All of these actors are actors that I’ve admired over the years and wanted to work with. So it’s been exciting for me to work with people that I admire and respect.”
