Fans are thrilled when Academy Award nominee Michelle Pfeiffer is listed amongst well-known names that join "Ant-Man and The Wasp". The 59-year-old actress will be playing Janet van Dyne, the wife of Michael Douglas' Hank Pym, and the first look at the actress as the character has now surfaced online. The movie vet was spotted on the set in Savannah, Georgia as she was preparing to shoot a "park scene taking place in 1987" on Monday, October 30.
From Pfeiffer's Farrah Fawcet hairdo, Douglas' brown wig and baggy suit, they all suggested that the scene would be a flashback to the husband and wife in the 80s, before Wasp shrank down to disable rocket's circuit board during her employment for Peggy Carter's S.H.I.E.L.D. in Cold War and then disappeared in the Quantum Realm. In the set photos, Pfeiffer and her co-star Douglas were seen to have black dots on their faces, suggesting a CGI attempt to visually reverse their age later on.
