Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania star Evangeline Lilly, who plays Hope van Dyne, a.k.a. The Wasp, has teased that while the threequel is the “hardest one we’ve made” so far, it could possibly be “the best one yet.”
“We finished filming at the end of November, and I think, hands down, it was the hardest one we’ve made. It was the most difficult. It was the only one we’ve made during the Covid lockdowns,” Lilly explained in an interview with The Digital Fix. “That just adds such an incredible complication to making a movie. It adds a lot of stress. It makes things very impersonal because you can’t see faces.”
She added, “Film sets are already impersonal enough, there is so much that goes on and so much that has to get done in a short amount of time, and the intensity level is really, really high. So it was a very trying experience doing the film with Covid measures … But I actually think… what we did, the stuff we shot, the material we managed to get, I think it might be the best one yet.”
