ANT-MAN 3 Star Evangeline Lilly Teases Her First Script Read - Will Corey Stoll Return As Yellowjacket?

Evangeline Lilly has been keeping fans up to speed as she prepares to reprise the role of Hope van Dyne in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, and following a recent workout video, the Lost alum has taken to Instagram to share a first look at her copy of the Marvel threequel's script.

"Got my script. Read it. LOVE it. Can’t wait," she revealed in her caption.

Lilly didn't spill any story details, of course, but she did add a hashtag with Corey Stoll's name. The House of Cards actor played the villainous Darren Cross/Yellowjacket in the first Ant-Man, and despite seemingly being killed off at the end, Lilly's post has led to speculation that he might be set to return. Maybe he was simply sucked into the Quantum Realm when his suit imploded?

Peyton Reed will be back behind the camera for the diminutive duo's next adventure, which will see the debuts of Jonathan Majors as the villainous Kang the Conqueror and Kathryn Newton as Cassie Lang.

Michael Douglas and Michelle Pfeiffer are set to return as Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne. "Wombats" Luis (Michael Peña) and Kurt (David Dastmalchian) will also be back as Scott Lang's (Paul Rudd) sidekicks, but T.I. (Dave) is believed to have been dropped from the movie amid multiple allegations of sexual assault against him and his wife.

Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania is set to hit theaters on February 17, 2023.

Nobody dies in the MCU.

@BrainySleep - Well we never saw him dying. He just became small as hell. Maybe he ended up in that subatomic city they hinted at.

when peyton reed went on honest trailers commentary, he said that yellow jack may not have died, so its certainly possible

around 23:50

@lemric - we might find a one armed yellow jacket in the quantum realm

Darren Cross may return as a version of Swarm. He has a damaged face and body from his end in Ant-Man. Also, he will modify his costume.

@Repian - that would be pretty cool actually

@Repian - I think the Petra Laskov version from The Ultimates would make for a cool villain too.

@Repian - Sick idea.

I am still adamant that Hope Van Dyne is the BEST choice to be leading the next iteration of The Avengers. I know people want Sam or Carol but for me Hope is just the stronger leader. Less baggage, more confidence and a level head.

bkmeijer2 - 5/21/2021, 4:38 AM
@TheManWithoutFear - I agree. I can see both Captains trying to be the leader, but it is Hope that's actually gonna get the group to work together.

And I think that would make for funny interactions too, since she's only really has Scott to vouch for her. Most already know each other from before Thanos' attack on the Avengers compound, except for Hope.

@TheManWithoutFear - She also doesn't put up with any quarantine bullshit.

@TheManWithoutFear - I agree she was some comanding presence that the other don't.

@TheManWithoutFear - Janet should be leader if they developed her better but hope should never lead the team in my opinion. Just not a good character

Hulkh8liars - 5/21/2021, 9:49 AM
@NathanielX - Sam cap easily has a more commanding presence. So does mcu carol danvers actually
NathanielX
NathanielX - 5/21/2021, 10:19 AM
@Hulkh8liars - mmmm I think Sam doesn't work that much without a more serius co lead, and I think between the 2 Hope it's the one that it's more versatile giving that she is more self made than her.

Kinda wish that if they're going with another villain with similar powers to the hero, they're going with Eric O'Grady. Mitchell Carson is still out there with Cross' serum, so he probably is still creating his army

soberchimera - 5/21/2021, 6:48 AM
@bkmeijer - Eric O'Grady as Black Ant.
NathanielX
NathanielX - 5/21/2021, 8:52 AM
@bkmeijer - I think they should save Eric O'Grady to replace Scott, giving the Stature doesn't seem to get the insect part of the powers of Antman.
bkmeijer2
bkmeijer2 - 5/21/2021, 8:55 AM
@NathanielX - I think Cassie will stay around for a while, otherwise they wouldn't have brought in Kathryn Newton I guess
NathanielX
NathanielX - 5/21/2021, 10:22 AM
@bkmeijer - Yep, but she fels like she fells more as a replacement for Scott Giant Man aspect, O Grady can fill the void for Hope/Scott insect thing.
bkmeijer2
bkmeijer2 - 5/21/2021, 11:42 AM
@NathanielX - yeah thats true. Doubt they'll be replaced soon though. But when the times come, I can see them use Eric (as long as they remove his peeping tom habits)

I enjoyed Yellowjacket (and Stoll in the role), so seeing him return would be nice.

I speculated on Cross being alive ever since the first movie ended, so this makes sense if the focus is going to be on the Quantum Realm. I definitely think that Kang will have a role here more like Thanos did in GOTG - setting him up to be the next Big Bad.

But if Stoll is back as Cross, I hope they try and upgrade/evolve his powers to change things up some. Maybe bring his son and Crossfire into play? That could be who Sonny Burch was working for.

He likely got trapped in the Quantum Realm and has probably undergone some kind of nasty transformation that merged him into the suit and now he controls whatever nasty little microbugs are down there.

Please don't throw away Kang. Please don't throw away Kang.

I really enjoyed Stoll's take on Yellowjacket tbh.

He was scary, crazy, and his damn suit was beautiful.

Am I wrong but in the comics wasn’t Yellow Jacket another mantle of Hank Pym’s?
SpiderBloke2099
SpiderBloke2099 - 5/21/2021, 11:15 AM
@Spike101 - yes, it was. Fourth after Ant-Man, Giant-Man and Goliath. Was also used by one Rita Demara, who, IIRC, died.
