“[Getting killed off] actually was my request for the third one,” he said, via EW. “I said I’d like to have a serious [death], with all these great special effects. There’s got to be some fantastic way where I can shrink to an ant size and explode, whatever it is. I want to use all those effects.”

He continued, weighing in on if he’d be back for a fourth movie: “But, that was on the last one. Now, I don’t think I’m going to show up [for a fourth].”
