Michael Douglas was a big part of the appeal of Marvel's "Ant-Man" and its success this past Summer, but unlike so many of his co-stars - he was only signed for the one film.

Now, the actor has revealed to Collider that he's currently in negotiations to return for 2018's "Ant-Man & The Wasp" to reprise the role of 'Hank Pym' However he has one condition - he wants less exposition:

"I just got a call recently – they want to negotiate for a sequel and I thought 'That's great!' Hopefully, I won't have to carry quite as much expositional dialogue as the first one but I had a wonderful time doing it. Just a great, great time.

The cast was fantastic. Paul, Evangeline, Michael Pena – I'm sure he'll be back. If they can scrape Corey Stoll off the wall, I'm sure they'll want him too – he's such a good villain. And Peyton too. It was a lovely experience, so you know, I welcome it. I chuckle about being involved with a movie that already has a release date in 2018... It's hard to conceive of that, but it's all good, all the way around, it's all good."

"Ant-Man and the Wasp" is currently targeting a July 6th 2018 release.

In the first major casting in the upcoming sequel to “Ant-Man,” Marvel has tapped Hannah John-Kamen for a new role in “Ant-Man and the Wasp.”

Paul Rudd is returning in the title role with Evangeline Lilly coming back as Hope van Dyne a.k.a. the Wasp. Michael Douglas and Michael Pena are also expected to reprise their roles from the original.

Marvel had no comment on the casting.

Peyton Reed, who helmed the first pic, is back in the director’s chair with Rudd and Gabriel Ferrari penning the script. Kevin Feige is producing.

The plot is being kept under wraps, as are details about who John-Kamen will be playing. Marvel had been meeting with actresses over the past month before finally being won over by the rising star.

The original film grossed $519 million worldwide including $180 million domestically. Rudd most recently reprised the role in “Captain America: Civil War.”

The sequel bows on July 6, 2018.

John-Kamen comes from the TV world, having appeared in such popular shows as “Black Mirror,” “Game of Thrones,” and, most recently, the Hulu series “Killjoys.” She also caught the eye of Steven Spielberg, who cast her in a lead role in “Ready Player One.”

She is repped by Paradigm and Scott Marshall Partners.
