LOS ANGELES — Michael Douglas is already looking forward to his next film role. The 66-year-old actor, who has been battling throat cancer, says he’ll play the title part in Steven Soderbergh’s “Liberace,” which is set to begin shooting in May or June.

The two had a strained relationship for many years.
