Evangeline Lilly Reveals Her Character on Ant-Man

The Hobbit star, Evangeline Lilly, who will be seen as Hope Van Dyne in Marvel’s upcoming movie, Ant-Man, reveals more about her character as Hope and her connection with Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne who are actually her parents, during interview with Empire.

“When I first signed on, It didn’t really occur to me how monumental or what a big deal that was. I just thought ‘Oh great, Michael? Paul [Rudd]? Wonderful; great cast’. I’m very clinical about deciding what roles I’ll take, so I’ve sort of been checking boxes, and Michael became a box I checked. [I thought] ‘Okay great, they’ve cast that one well…moving on’ and I carried on with my process of checks and balances. And then I got to work [on-set] and started working with him, and then about halfway through shooting, I had to do this very intense emotional with Michael Douglas. And it wasn’t until midway through shooting this scene with him that suddenly the penny dropped and it occurred to me ‘Oh my God, I’m acting opposite Michael Douglas; this is a legendary star’. He’s a consummate actor, and it hit me. The reason it hit me was because I had been working with him for long enough to have suddenly kind of realize ‘Oh my God, he’s such a force every time he shows up on set. Every time they call action, what he brings into the room makes the room electric; it brings everything to life. And I realized I was standing before and had the privilege to be working with a living legend.”

She also kind of hinted that Hank Pym and Wasp, Hope parents, will actually be superheroes in this movie before something terrible happened to Wasp. “I was raised by two superheroes. So, I’m a pretty screwed up human being. I am also fairly capable, strong, and kick-ass, which is wonderful to play, but the most fun to play was just how messed up she was from being raised by two superheroes. And the clear message sent by name is that I’m not a big fan of my father and so I took my mother’s name.”

It was rumored that in the beginning of Ant-Man movie will be set in 1960. We might get to see young Pym and hopefully Wasp before the story goes to present day and more focusing on Scott Lang. Do you think that Hope will take the mantle of Wasp and fighting alongside Lang who will be Ant-Man? Are you excited to see Wasp/Ant-Man team up?
