Actor Michelle Pfeiffer, who will be next seen in MCU’s upcoming summer film Antman and the Wasp, says she was initially skeptical of the previous film, Antman.
“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.
The actor, who has appeared as Catwoman in Tim Burton’s 1992 film Batman Returns, is really excited to work with some of her favourite actors in her second superhero film.
When asked about her collaboration with the Marvel team, Pfeiffer 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.”
Set between the events of Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War, Pfeiffer will essay the role of Janet van Dyne opposite Michael Douglas’ character.
Antman and the Wasp is all set to release in India on July 13 in Hindi, English, Tamil and Telugu.
