Evangeline Lilly is Ready to Lead the Avengers, Pitches an All-Female Avengers Film
Is Hope van Dyne ready to take the reins of Earth's Mightiest Heroes?
With Ant-Man and the Wasp hitting theatres next week, the internet is abuzz (pun intended) with anticipation. Early reviews (including ours) have praised the film for being smart, funny, and a great showcase for the newest Avenger, Hope van Dyne aka The Wasp. In an interview with Nerdist's Markeia McCarty, the cast and crew discuss The Wasp and her potential for taking on a leadership role in the post-Snapture Avengers.

It’s about damn time.
We were pretty disappointed that Evangeline Lilly's Hope Van Dyne was needlessly sidelined in Ant-Man in favor of making another movie about a male superhero. Despite our dismay over the Captain Marvel movie's repeated delays, we're glad to see the Wasp finally get to do her thing—and get acknowledged in the sequel's title—and so is director Peyton Reed.

Bob's your daughter.
The Wasp, aka Janet van Dyne, is of course that founding member of the Avengers whom we’ve heard will be retroactively fridged in Ant-Man. Evangeline Lilly’s playing her daughter Hope Van Dyne, who looks like she could be shaping up as the MCU version of that character. So Janet had to be killed in the first place because... nah.

Early Avengers Animatics Give Us Teeny Looks at the Wasp
Excelsior!
Joss Whedon has been pretty up front about how initial drafts of The Avengers featured Janet Van Dyne, aka The Wasp, as a seventh member of the team. Federico D'Alessandro, whose IMDB page shows art department credits on Marvel Entertainment movies from Thor onward, as well as I Am Legend and two Narnia movies, has recently shared some animatics he produced while working on the early stages of The Avengers, including this one, which gives us but the briefest look at Janet, at 0:17 and in the oft used in marketing "look at all the team members" spin. We've posted three more of his animatics behind the jump!
