Evangeline Lilly has confirmed that the Wasp will appear in "Avengers 4". While at NYCC talking with Blastr about the Wasp getting her origin story in the sequel to "Ant-Man", Lilly reveals that Hope van Dyne will also don her mother [Janet van Dyne]'s superheroine costume in the follow-up to "Avengers: Infinity War".
"I'm excited because its essentially going to be the origin of the Wasp," the 37-year-old Canadian actress says of the upcoming "Ant-Man and the Wasp". She enthusiastically continues, "Of course, we're going to see the Wasp for the first time take on the mantle, and put on the suit, and fly about, and do her thing."
"Following that one, there's an Avengers series coming out, I believe its a two-parter, and the Wasp won't be in the first part," she points out. She reveals her involvement with "The Avengers" movie franchise, adding, "She'll be in the second part because they want to preserve that reveal for Ant-Man and the Wasp."
Before supporting the fourth installment of the "Avengers" film series, which is set to hit U.S. theaters on May 3, 2019, Lilly will appear alongside Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas and Michael Pena in "Ant-Man and the Wasp", which is set for a July 6, 2018 release. Meanwhile, "Avengers: Infinity War" is scheduled to be released on May 4, 2018.
