LOS ANGELES, Aug 29 — Evangeline Lilly has released a first look of herself in character as The Wasp aka Hope van Dyne.
Lilly will be reprising her role in the upcoming Marvel film Ant-Man and the Wasp and she took to Twitter to post her new costume to celebrate comic book artist Jack Kirby’s 100th birthday. Kirby co-created Janet van Dyne (the original Wasp) along with Stan Lee back in 1963.
She captioned the tweet: “I am honoured to be on set today playing #TheWasp on what would be Jack Kirby’s 100th birthday.” The costume was first teased at the end of 2015’s Ant-Man.
Lilly was earlier this month spotted on set with co-stars Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas who will be reprising their roles as Ant-Man Scott Lang and Hank Pym respectively. Ant-Man and the Wasp will take place after the events of Captain America: Civil War.
I am honoured to be on set today playing #TheWasp on what would be Jack Kirby's 100th birthday.
