Abrams series, which ran for six seasons from 2004 to 2010.Speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Lilly said: “We would have Lost parties where the cast would get together to watch the show, and when it would be a Kate-centric episode, I would want to curl in a hole and die because I knew I was bad.

Back in 2020, shortly after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Evangeline Lilly became embroiled in controversy when she shared an Instagram post explaining why she wasn’t social distancing.

Evangeline Lilly is opening up about her decision to post the pictures from the anti-vaccine mandates rally in Washington D.C. that she attended last year.

Zack Sharf Evangeline Lilly said in a new interview with Esquire magazine that she was well aware she’d ignite controversy by posting photos on social media from an anti-vaccine mandates rally in Washington D.C. The “Lost” and Marvel star faced backlash in January 2022 after participating in the rally, which she joined in support of “bodily sovereignty.” “I believe nobody should ever be forced to inject their body with anything, against their will, under threat of violent attack, arrest or detention without trial, loss of employment, homelessness, starvation, loss of education, alienation from loved ones, excommunication from society…under any threat whatsoever,” Lilly wrote on Instagram at the time. “This is not the way. This is not safe. This is not healthy. This is not love. I understand the world is in fear, but I don’t believe that answering fear with force will fix our problems. I was pro choice before COVID and I am still pro choice today.”

Evangeline Lilly reprises her role as Hope Van Dyne/The Wasp in “Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania” this weekend. But the “Lost” actress wasn’t always so keen on starring in superhero movies.

The stars of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania are taking over London!

It’s a wonder that Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (★★★☆☆) should work as well as it does, or feel half as transporting as it does, when, by the looks of it, the actors were planted inside a studio for the majority of the action, and it shows. For the size-shifting superhero’s third solo MCU outing, director Peyton Reed — also at the helm for Ant-Man and Ant-Man and the Wasp — filmed much of this journey to the sub-atomic fantasia known as the Quantum Realm using technology that surrounds the actors in an immersive digital environment. Rather than emoting towards blank green and blue screens, Paul Rudd, as thief-turned-Avenger Ant-Man a.k.a. Scott Lang, can gaze across a virtual Quantum Realm and perform face-to-face opposite whatever outlandish creatures the filmmakers might imagine.

Even the charms of Hugh Jackman were not enough to convince Evangeline Lilly to become an X-Man (or woman, as the case may be). Doing the promotional rounds for her new film, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Lilly revealed that she once turned down Jackman’s pitch to have her join an X-men film.

Evangeline Lilly is staying true to herself.
