First Look: Evangeline Lilly Suits Up as The Wasp

The mid-credits scene in 2015’s Ant-Man set the stage for Evangeline Lilly’s Hope van Dyne taking on the mantle of The Wasp, taking after her mother Janet. She will partner with Scott Lang in next year’s sequel, Ant-Man and The Wasp. Now, we have a first look image.

On Twitter, Lilly shared a photo of her wearing the Wasp uniform, in celebration of what would have been Jack Kirby’s 100th birthday. This suit is a little different from what we saw in the first movie, as well as concept art for the sequel. Check it out below, and stay tuned for more as we have it.

I am honoured to be on set today playing #TheWasp on what would be Jack Kirby’s 100th birthday.
