Evangeline Lilly: Last News

Zack Sharf Evangeline Lilly said in a new interview with Esquire magazine that she was well aware she’d ignite controversy by posting photos on social media from an anti-vaccine mandates rally in Washington D.C. The “Lost” and Marvel star faced backlash in January 2022 after participating in the rally, which she joined in support of “bodily sovereignty.” “I believe nobody should ever be forced to inject their body with anything, against their will, under threat of violent attack, arrest or detention without trial, loss of employment, homelessness, starvation, loss of education, alienation from loved ones, excommunication from society…under any threat whatsoever,” Lilly wrote on Instagram at the time. “This is not the way. This is not safe. This is not healthy. This is not love. I understand the world is in fear, but I don’t believe that answering fear with force will fix our problems. I was pro choice before COVID and I am still pro choice today.”

Evangeline Lilly reprises her role as Hope Van Dyne/The Wasp in “Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania” this weekend. But the “Lost” actress wasn’t always so keen on starring in superhero movies.

Evangeline Lilly recently opened up about turning down the part of Wonder Woman in the mid-2000s. The 43-year-old actress, who plays the superhero Wasp in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, talked about Joss Whedon's never-produced screenplay in an interview on Thursday's episode of the Happy Sad Confused Podcast. 'I had no desire [to do it],' she said on the show. 'And he could tell.' She then added that she was too young to 'be that polite' when turning down the offer almost 20 years ago. Some people called Whedon's script sexist after it leaked online in 2017, around the same time Wonder Woman starring Gal Gadot came out.  Turning down a part: Evangeline Lilly recently opened up about turning down the part of Wonder Woman in the mid-2000s (pictured February 16, 2023)Some lines that drew attention were character descriptions of women, one of which read 'middle-aged but very much in her prime.'  'It didn't appeal, and there was nothing about the meeting that like jazzed me or made me think, "Oh, I've gotta do this,"' she continued.

The stars of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania are taking over London!

It’s a wonder that Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (★★★☆☆) should work as well as it does, or feel half as transporting as it does, when, by the looks of it, the actors were planted inside a studio for the majority of the action, and it shows. For the size-shifting superhero’s third solo MCU outing, director Peyton Reed — also at the helm for Ant-Man and Ant-Man and the Wasp — filmed much of this journey to the sub-atomic fantasia known as the Quantum Realm using technology that surrounds the actors in an immersive digital environment. Rather than emoting towards blank green and blue screens, Paul Rudd, as thief-turned-Avenger Ant-Man a.k.a. Scott Lang, can gaze across a virtual Quantum Realm and perform face-to-face opposite whatever outlandish creatures the filmmakers might imagine.

Evangeline Lilly might be saving the day as The Wasp in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, she could have suited up as a hero much earlier.

The latest instalment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe comes out this week.

Filmmaker Peyton Reed badly wants to make a “Star Wars” film. We know this because he’s already spent a lot of time directing Lucasfilm’s “Star Wars” spin-off series “The Mandalorian,” and because his new ‘Ant-Man & The Wasp’ film, ‘Quantumania,’ is essentially a big-budget “Star Wars” movie.

With the Avengers: Endgame now history for a few years, and its place in the boxoffice realm currently challenged more by Avatars than any one Marvel character, the MCU, under orders from Marvel Chief Kevin Feige is now entering Phase 5, and using the third cinematic incarnation of Ant-Man and the full-blooded emergence of multi-villain Kang The Conqueror to carry it forward in what is essentially a stand-alone transition movie. As such Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania is a mixed bag, still containing the lighter comedy of the 2015 original and 2018 followup, both set in San Francisco, but now taking us deep into a subatomic universe where the familial characters will experience both good and evil forces, some wacky new creatures that look like they are straight out of a Star Wars bar, and a mission to save this dizzying community of colorful beings who are being terroized by another comic book legend now embodied by the imposing and talented Jonathan Majors, clearly aiming to be the next major player in the MCU.
