Evangeline Lilly was spotted in full costume as the Wasp, filming with co-star Walter Goggins for the upcoming Ant-Man and the Wasp.
She played fugitive-turned-island warrior Kate Austen on Lost. Now, Evangeline Lilly is delving into another epic role, as she was seen suiting up as the Wasp in Atlanta, Georgia on Wednesday (Sept. 20).
Just Jared shared a batch of photos of Lilly on-set and in costume for the upcoming Ant-Man sequel, Ant-Man and the Wasp (please click link for photos). In the photos, Lilly revealed her svelte physique in a black formfitting garb lined with circuitry and such.
Reminiscent of the Ant-Man costume design Paul Rudd wore in the first Ant-Man film, Lily’s wardrobe features full-body armor and electronic wristbands—her helmet features metal embellishments and antennae over her ears, and her wings appear translucent in nature and similar to her comic book counterpart.
Back in August, Lilly gave fans a first look at Wasp’s costume, sharing a photo on Twitter.
I am honoured to be on set today playing #TheWasp on what would be Jack Kirby's 100th birthday.

Ant-Man and the Wasp is shaping up to be one of 2018’s most anticipated titles. Back at San Diego Comic-Con in July, it was announced that Walton Goggins will be playing the villainous role Burch. The photos shared above also feature our first look at Goggins on-set.
In the first Ant-Man, Wasp (or Hope van Dyne) was a senior board executive at Pym Technologies, founded by her father Hank Pym (Michael Douglas). The official synopsis for Ant-Man and the Wasp reads, as per Marvel’s official website:
"In the aftermath of Captain America: Civil War, Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) grapples with the consequences of his choices as both as Super Hero and a father. As he struggles to rebalance his home life with his responsibilities as Ant-Man, he’s confronted by Hope van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) and Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) with an urgent new mission. Scott must once again put on the suit and learn to fight alongside The Wasp as the team works together to uncover secrets from their past."
