The 72-year-old star made his return official by sharing about the same on Facebook.
"Getting ready to play Dr. Pym again in Ant-Man 2 shooting in July. Need to start growing the goatee now," he wrote.
Paul Rudd's Scott Lang and Evangeline Lilly's Hope Van Dyne are also returning for Ant-Man and The Wasp, marking the first time a woman will headline a Marvel Studios film ahead of Brie Larson's Captain Marvel.
The film, directed by Peyton Reed, will open in the US theaters on July 6 next year.
