Evangeline Lilly Reiterates Who Should Play ‘Janet Van Dyne’ In ANT-MAN AND THE WASP
Talking for the first time about returning as Hope Van Dyne in Ant-Man and the Wasp, Evangeline Lilly reveals what she knows about the movie and who she wants to play her mom, the original Wasp.
In light of that, Evangeline Lilly was attending the Comic-Con Experience in São Paulo, Brazil over the weekend when she was asked about reprising her Ant-Man role as Hope Van Dyne, taking flight as the (new) Wasp and who she would like to portray her mother. “I do not know anything about Ant-Man and Wasp,” admitted the actress (via Omelete). “Marvel didn’t tell me anything, but wouldn’t it be cool if Hope was behind her mother (?) and if she was played by Michelle Pfeifer?”
That translation might be a little off, but this isn’t the first time that Evangeline Lilly has suggested Michelle Pfeifer for Janet Van Dyne. During press for Ant-Man earlier this year, Lilly said that it was Pfeifer’s role as Catwoman in Batman Returns that inspired this suggestion for the original Wasp. “That was my favorite of all time of all the comic book female characters,” said Lilly previously. “Not just anybody or anything, not even like in the comic books, Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman.” Now that Ant-Man and the Wasp wil open July 6, 2018, with Paul Rudd returning as Scott Lang and Michael Douglas as Hank Pym, maybe Evangeline’s wish may come to fruition. What do you think?
