You remember the end of Ant-Man, right? There’s a shot of The Wasp’s costume with Evangeline Lily’s character, Hope van Dyne, staring at it, promising her inclusion as a hero in the inevitable sequel. It’s meant to be a captivating moment, hinting that the sequel will an even bigger, better time than the first, with multiple heroes duking it out together, rather than just a rag-tag team trying to pull off a heist.
Doesn’t that look great?
Well, apparantly not to anyone working on Ant-Man and The Wasp, because now the costume looks, well, like ass. Like a big old pile of ass.
I am honoured to be on set today playing #TheWasp on what would be Jack Kirby's 100th birthday.

Evangeline Lilly tweeted out this picture of her on set as The Wasp, donning a leathery, uninspired black suit that could’ve been drawn up in less than 5 minutes. It’s dissapointing to see what used to be such a unique costume be boiled down into generic X-men garb.
Maybe it’ll look better in the film, when it releases June 6, 2018.
