7. Evangeline Lilly To Play Wasp In Ant-Man?
Marvel fans have been clamoring for Wasp to appear for years, and Joss Whedon even included her in an early draft of the Avengers script before writing her out due to time and story constraints. As a founding member of Earth's Mightiest Heroes (and wife of Ant-Man), she's an integral part of the Marvel universe and it would be great to see her on screen. With Ant-Man making his debut next year (with stars Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas), could Wasp be in the film as well? According to
Variety, Marvel is looking at Evangeline Lilly (Lost, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug) for the film's female lead, and though details are still vague, chances are she's the love interest to Paul Rudd's Scott Lang, and the daughter of Michael Douglas' Hank Pym (the original Ant-Man). If she
is Wasp, this would certainly be a bit of a change in the character's origin, but would make sense with the direction Edgar Wright seems to be taking the movie. Lilly made quite the impression in The Desolation of Smaug, and could be right at home in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. What do you think of her possible casting?
