Whether he is Review and seduction as Liberas in "Behind Candelabra" or running amok while Swinging a flatical hairstyle in "Falling Down", Michael Douglas has long been established as one of those actors who will Bring your A-game to the table every time. However, if the films that want to keep up with acting legends are wondering what was about Douglas until recently, the answer is simple as it is sad: not much, at least when it comes to acting. Yes, projects like "Ant-Man and Rash: Quantamania" in 2023 and Franklin's 2024 Franklin Miniments retained the actor on the screens and small and small, but as Douglas himself said during a press conference. Karlovi vary International Film FestivalHe has not actually worked for a few years:

"I had a very busy career. Now, I haven't worked since 2022, deliberately, because I realized I had to stop. I worked pretty hard for almost 60 years, and I didn't want to be one of those people who fell dead in the set."

Although it is unfortunate to see that Douglas is withdrawing from acting, it is worth keeping in mind that the double winner of the Academy Award is 80 years and has really behaved since the mid-1960s. As such, it is perfectly understandable that he recognizes where his priorities lie at this point in life. Can also explain why he was campaigning His character to die in Ant-man 3 and even set aside an explosive idea of Hank Pim's death. After all, if you know you are going away, you may be leaving with a bang.

Douglas is a man who continues to find his way back in front of the camera. In 2010, he discovered his diagnosis of throat 4 cancer, which could potentially complete his career. However, he survived and continued to act. Recently, in December 2024, he told the Red Sea Festival (through Hollywood reporter) that he does not intend to withdraw and that he is constantly looking for more challenges-including the Ant-man films, allowing him to act in front of the green screen for the first time. At that time, he also expressed a desire to star in a horror movie.

Although it seems to have changed his mind since then, even Douglas's recent statements in Quiff may not be as final as (the former?) The actor made them sound. In fact, he even made a point notice that while he was perfectly pleased to support his wife, Catherine Zeta-Onesons, of the sidelines, he did not want to exclude future roles in case something good came:

"I am very happy to rest time. I have no real intentions. But I say I'm not retired, because if something special appears, I'll be back. But otherwise, I'm pretty happy. I just want to see my wife working."
