He is also the reason why Creator/MichaelKeaton goes by that name, as the latter's real name is also "Michael Douglas".[[note]]This became HilariousInHindsight when they both got roles in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse as people with advanced tech, an animal-themed alias and a huge grudge against Tony Stark, plus both actors have had Creator/MichellePfeiffer as a [[Film/BatmanReturns love]] [[Film/AntManAndTheWasp interest]]. They have yet to meet onscreen in it, still. Of course, given Keaton's character is now [[Film/Morbius2022 transported to]] [[Film/SonysSpiderManUniverse a different universe]], this seems unlikely.[[/note]]
