Evangeline Lilly Says Marvel "Shocked The Pants Off" Her While Working On ANT-MAN

In an interview promoting her new book, the former Lost alum (who we'll see next in the final Hobbit movie) talks about working for Marvel Studios on Ant-Man. She doesn't go into any detail about the plot or her character, but says we can expect some developments "very soon".

A few minor supporting roles aside, we didn't see that much of Canadian actress Evangeline Lilly after Lost finished up until she landed the part of Elven warrior Tauriel in The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug. Now she's set to reprise the role for the third and final instalment ("The Battle Of The Five Armies"), and then we'll see her join Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas in Marvel's Ant-Man as a character there's been a bit of confusion about since her casting was announced, Hope Van-Dyn. Lilly also has a book coming out this month called The Squickerwonkers, and while chatting to Comic Vine about that they also asked her about working on Ant-Man, and when we can expect to see some new promotional material for it. Lilly says that although she's wrapped now, the movie will continue shooting until the end of December, and we will have some news on it "very soon". She also had the following to say about her surprising experience working on such a big Marvel production.



"Honestly, it’s easy for me to talk about it. I’ve had such a wonderful experience. Marvel Studios has shocked the pants off me. I really expected to be walking into a great big machine that would be so well oiled and anybody new with new ideas or new contributions would just be a pain in the butt. Marvel could not have been more opposite to those expectations. They’ve been collaborative in a way that makes me feel like—and I know you’re going to say this is bullcrap but it’s totally true—in a way that makes me feel like I was working on a little indie project. I mean, it was that intimate and that collaborative. I just had a wonderful experience."

well that's quite a headline.

I'm pretty excited for ANT-MAN. I still can't believe Paul Rudd is goign to be a superhero. That's crazy fun! Corey Stoll, Michael Douglas, Michael Pena are phenomenal too.

marvel let edgar work on ant man for over 7 years... if thats not collaboration enough i dont know what is. edgar screwed up and ant man had to be changed to fit into the MCU. if edgar did antman when he was supposed to then the marvel movies that followed could have been made to fit into antman... its all his fault.

Excited for this! WIsh Wright was on the project but Marvel approached Reed for Guardians, so he must have something they like.

@COREY6487 - Its definitely Edgar Wright's fault that any ,mention of or appearence of hank & Jan were removed from phade I & why ant-man seems so different to the other MCU films.

Actually no, Wright wanted to finish his Cornetto trilogy first before filming Ant-man

I thought people already knew that!
