At 59, she carefully maintains the sex vixen looks which made her famous.

But the age defying Michelle Pfeiffer looked unrecognizable as she was pictured on the Hawaii set of Ant-Man And The Wasp.

The usually blonde actress had gone grey - seemingly with a wig - in a bid to age her appearance for the role, in which she and Michael Douglas, 73, play the original versions of the title superheroes in the movie.

Out in paradise: On Sunday, Michelle Pfeiffer, 59, and Michael Douglas, 73, were in character shooting Ant-Man And The Wasp, walking barefoot across a Hawaiian beach

Michelle was also dowdily dressed in a colorful, ornately patterned kaftan by Camilla.

Meanwhile, the grizzled and bearded Michael wore a powder blue shirt with its sleeves folded up, tucking the top into khaki trousers.

Between takes, Michael could be glimpsed apparently having his hairdo touched up.

Ant-Man And The Wasp, which stars Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly respectively as the new versions of the title superheroes, is a sequel to the 2015 film Ant-Man.

In that movie, Michael's character Hank Pym is the original, now-retired Ant-Man and helps prepare Paul's character Scott Lang to be the new one.

Hank is also the father of Evangeline's character, whose real name is Hope.

Michelle, who recently played Bernie Madoff's wife Ruth in the HBO movie The Wizard Of Lies, was not in the first Ant-Man film but has joined the second.

Having a chat: At another point, he draped his arm round Michelle and she put a friendly hand on his shoulder while they talked

She plays the long-lost Janet, who in addition to being Hank's wife and Hope's mother was also the original Wasp before disappearing into the 'Quantum Realm.'

Michelle and Michael have never co-starred in a movie before, but she confirmed on the Today show this month that they could have done.

She dished that she declined the opportunity to act in the 1992 erotic thriller Basic Instinct, directed by Paul Verhoeven.

Michael went on to co-star in that film with Sharon Stone, who famously flashed the camera during an interrogation scene.

Ant-Man And The Wasp will see the return of many of the prequel's cast, including Bobby Cannavale, Judy Greer, Michael Peña and T.I.

It is slated for release in Britain next June 29, and in America a week later.

The first Ant-Man was originally supposed to be directed by Edgar Wright, but after he parted ways from the film during pre-production, Peyton stepped in.

Edgar, who retained a writing credit on that first film, told the Variety podcast Playback: 'I think the thing with that is, the most diplomatic, you know, answer is that, you know, I wanted to make a Marvel movie, but I don't think they really wanted to make an Edgar Wright movie.'

Later, he became more specific, saying: 'But then, you know, I was the writer-director on it, and then they wanted to do a draft without me.

'And, you know, having written all my other movies, that's kinda, like, it's like a tough thing to, kind of, move forward, thinking: "Oh, I th- you know, if I do one of these movies, I would like to be the writer-director."

'Being - suddenly becoming like a director-for-hire on it, you're sort of less emotionally invested and, you know, it's a sort of, I, you know, you start to sort of wonder why you're there, really,' the Baby Driver director explained.
