Douglas plays scientist Hank Pym in the Marvel franchise and features in the latest Ant-Man instalment.

Talking to On Demand Entertainment on the red carpet, Zeta-Jones said she had always been fond of Michael’s character and was excited to see him reprise the role in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.

She said: “I’ve always loved him as Hank.

“There’s a really great moment in the film where Michael has to drive this machine and it just makes me laugh so much because he looks like a little boy getting to play with a toy.

“It’s so much fun.”

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantamania marks the start of phase 5 in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Douglas is joined in the movie by a host of big Hollywood names including Paul Rudd (Antman/Scott Lang), Evangeline Lily (Wasp/Hope Van Dyne) and Michelle Pfeiffer (Janet Van Dyne).

The Rotten Tomatoes critic comment said: “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania mostly lacks the spark of fun that elevated earlier adventures, but Jonathan Majors' Kang is a thrilling villain poised to alter the course of the MCU.”
