Ant-Man Dammit, Janet! The official Wasp thread

[Ant-manic]

I always figured Hawkeye's into anything that moves, breathes and has been female at least once, whether right now or in an alternative continuity.

well he also has a thing for women with green hair, supposedly.

Is Evangelline Lily playing Wasp or not. She doesn't have a thread here, so I'm just putting it here.

I'm rewatching Lost and its nice to see Evangelline booking high-profiled movie roles!

 

[chamber-music]

We don't know who anyone is playing yet besides Rudd and Douglas because Marvel hasn't officially confirmed anyone besides those two. It is a good bet Lily is playing Janet I would guess.

I imagine there will be a official cast release when the movie starts production next month.

if you make a thread, i'll post in it. you could call it the Evangeline Lilly is... thread or something. i think she's the best choice for Janet Van Dyne; probably the most accurate casting of any of these marvel flicks.

 

[R_Hythlodeus]

So, any news on the Evangeline Lilly situation? Is she Wasp or not?

 

[BatsDC]

None yet
We know she's in the movie - that's it
I imagine we'll find out at SDCC

So, any news on the Evangeline Lilly situation? Is she Wasp or not?

My guess is she's Dr Erica Sondheim, and may also be a love interest for Lang.

 

[Loki882]

I hope that we some concrete news at SDCC.

 

[Loki882]

well he also has a thing for women with green hair, supposedly.

And bald women. He and Moondragon had a fling at one point. He also slept with a Doombot that looked like Scarlet Witch.

 

[Loki882]

she's so hot. I wonder if Hawkeye's still into giant chicks. if Evangeline is playing Janet, I could see her maybe hooking up with Renner's Hawkeye.

A list of Hawkeye's "lady friends" and these are just the ones that I can think of off of the top of my head:

-Black Widow.
-Mockingbird.
-Wasp.
-Spider-Woman.
-Echo.
-Moondragon.
-Moonstone.
-Scarlet Witch (might have been a Doombot).
-That Cherry woman from Fraction's run.

Hopefully we will find out who Evangeline Lilly is playing next week.

C'mon! What are the chances that Evangeline Lilly's not playing Wasp? Slim to none, IMO.

Whether or not she's to gain her powers in the first film, and whether or not she goes (exactly) by "Janet Van Dyne", and whether or not she's Lang's love interest, I think it's pretty much a given that Lilly will be playing an MCU incarnation of Wasp when everything's said and done. Disagree and there'll be fisticuffs for youse!

I just want her to play Wasp THAT BADLY.
I am nervous everytime I go to this part of the forums, even the slim offchance that she is not keeps me on edge.

 

[Mysteryman]

I am just glad Evangeline is in the movie,Janet Van Dyne or not .

Rename the thread "Dammit, Hope! The official Wasp thread"

 

[Human Torch]

 

[cph9fa]

Maybe it should be called the "Keep Hope Alive" thread?

 

[<(o_o)>]

How should Evangeline Lilly prepare for her role? I thought Hope was a new character since I have never read the comics but it appears that it isn't just a made up character so Hope can either stay good as Wasp 2 or eventually go bad & turn into Red Queen. Just give Hope a twin sister instead of brother & then they could have Wasp & Red Queen fighting against each other in the movies.

Hope Van Dyne?

I'm curious on why they changed Janet's name. Normally Marvel has a reason for doing **** like this so it should be pretty intriguing on seeing what the deal is.

Maybe Janet had Hope out of wedlock so she gave Hope her name instead of Pym's name. Maybe they will address the reason in the movie.

My guess? And this a random guess: they have an actress in mind for Janet, perhaps an older actress as Hank's wife.

 

[Raiden]

Well, since there is no other actress named for this movie, I hope (pun intended) that Lily will still become Wasp, because I don't want her to be just a bored love interest for Rudd's character. I need her to become a superhero alongside Ant-Man, and be able to take down bad guys herself. But Marvel seems to want to wait instead of giving us all the info pertaining to this movie, even though it is still scheduled to be release in 2015.

Marvel has the tendency for us to wait. Example: they announced Rosario Dawson on Daredevil and we still don't know who she's playing (we may not know by the time she promotes Sin City 2 on August 22nd), but that's maybe because they are waiting for set photos of her from the show to leak.

Maybe she shows up on set wearing an Afro wig and dressing in red.

 

[Tony Stark]

I'm of the mind that Janet will be Hope's mother, but I'm pretty sure that Hope will be Wasp.


I'm thinking they may go more Ultimate on this route. Elizabeth Olsen left the cat out of the bag when she said "there are mutated humans". Clearly there are mutants in the MCU, they just won't be called mutants. I think Janet may have naturally had the traits that Hank was able to derive the Pym particles, and it was genetically transferred to Hope.

Just conjecture, but that's my theory. We'll see how it turns out.

So that fans can't complain that she's Janet INO.

And so that there can be a female lead to costar with Rudd, while still allowing for a real Janet (who may no longer be around) that was Pym's partner.
