Evangeline Lilly is Under Consideration to Play Lead Role in Marvel’s Ant-Man

As we all know that Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas have already been confirmed to play the lead characters of Scott Lang and Hank Pym respectively in the Marvel’s upcoming film Ant-Man, with Edgar Wright to direct the film, all we were excited to know who would be the lead female character of the film. Well, the producers has started looking for the perfect female lead character and their first consideration regarding it is actress Evangeline Lilly, who is well-known for famous TV show “Lost” and latest Hobbit film sequel.

Previously, there were rumors that Rashida Jones is in talks with Marvel to play opposite Rudd, but it looks that Marvel wants an attractive female who is recently having somewhat more blockbuster attention.

Plot details are unclear and Lilly's possible role is unknown so far, but a lot of fans are already speculating that she might either be the Scott Lang’s girlfriend or Hank Pym’s daughter, or both. There is also likelihood that she might be playing Janet Van Dyne who, according to the comics, is Pym’s love interest and the doppelganger of the winsome Wasp. Again, a superhero motion picture having 2 attractive leads in a potential love affair is to be anticipated, but as is typically the matter with Marvel’s films, the role Lilly is going to play can have severe consequences on the big screen universe, starting with The Avengers: Age of Ultron.

According to the comics, Ant-Man is frequently stated as many times as Wasp, who is stated as Lang’s partner in both solving crimes as well as love life. You should be aware of the fact that Wasp was considered to be part of The Avengers Team as per the original plan, but when reports regarding Ant-Man film emerged, casting rumors consisted of possible contenders for both diminutive cloaked heroes.

However, according to a number of media sources, it is being affirmed that the role under consideration will be that of Pym’s daughter, more signifying that just how much comic will be re-written. As Wasp is Pym’s love interest in the comics, now we have two questions in mind: will Lilly’s character as Pym’s daughter enable her to reduce her body size – or increase – genetically, or will there be totally different superpowers? Most of the fans think it would be former, but it’s just anticipation.
