Michael Douglas’ ‘Greatest Sin’ Was That He Never Watched Civil War

Marvel’s Ant-Man and The Wasp picks up the story thread of Scott Lang after he was imprisoned for helping Steve Rogers in Captain America: Civil War. The hero’s actions in the 2016 blockbuster not only affected his life but also those of Hope van Dyne and Hank Pym, who are, as a result, fugitives. However, all of that was lost in actor Michael Douglas, who confessed he’s never actually seen Civil War.

In an interview with MTV International timed to the U.K. release of Ant-Man and The Wasp, Douglas admitted he “had no idea what was going on” when he read the script. “I really screwed up, because they didn’t tell me when I started this that I should go see Captain America,” he said, “because if I saw Captain America, then I would understand what Ant-Man, Paul Rudd, had done in there, and why.”
