The hairstyle is on point: he's wearing almost the same haircut he was wearing 50 years ago when he was in the role of Inspector Steve Heller alongside Karl Malden on the "streets of San Francisco" manhunt. Well, his hair is silver gray now, but still full, slicked back. Michael Douglas is on video for an interview from a London hotel room, he wants to talk about his new Marvel film "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania", in which he plays the scientist Hank Pym for the third time, who turns himself and others on ant size can shrink.

ICONIST: When we last spoke ten years ago, you said that after surviving cancer, your third and final act is now beginning for you. How are you today?
Michael Douglas: I'm feeling good, thanks. I last did a series for Apple TV where I play Benjamin Franklin when he was living in Paris in the 18th century. I had never acted in historical films because I was always concerned that my skinny legs would look unflattering in skin-tight pantyhose (laughs).
