In honor of the late comic book artist Jack Kirby’s 100th birthday, actress Evangeline Lilly tweeted a photo of herself in the Wasp uniform from the set of the Ant-Man sequel, Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp.
In the tweet, Lilly posted, “I am honoured to be on set today playing #TheWasp on what would be Jack Kirby’s 100th birthday. #ThankYouJackKirby” #AntManAndTheWasp
Kirby co-created the original Wasp, Janet van Dyne, with Stan Lee back in 1963. Lilly plays Hope, the second Wasp and the daughter of van Dyne (to be played by Michelle Pfeiffer) and Hank Pym (Michael Douglas). Hope was given the suit by her father at the end of Ant-Man and is set to fight alongside Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) in the second film.
