Ant-Man Hope Van Dyne

Throughout the entire length of "Ant-Man" Evangeline Lilly's character Hope Van Dyne asks why she can't become a superhero, and by the end of the movie, she gets her wish. Viewers will just need to wait to see Hope's version of Wasp come to life.

The film's first credits sequence shows Hope's father Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) offer her the Wasp suit. (The second is a "Captain America: Civil War" teaser.) Her mother Janet Van Dyne originally wore it, but she was lost in the quantum realm and assumed dead. That scene promises that one day fans will get to see Hope in the Wasp suit, but Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige says that won't be in the immediate future when "Captain America: Civil War" comes out on May 6, 2016.

"The truth is there's so much going on in 'Civil War,'" he tells Zap2it. "Wasp is such a huge character, and Hope is such a big part of ['Ant-Man'], her character journey is such a big part of that movie. We thought it would be a disservice to the Wasp to just have her show up — 'Hello, I'm wearing the costume now! Goodbye!' — because there's too much else going on in that movie."

Lilly tells Zap2it she signed on for two full Marvel movies and a cameo. Considering there's no "Ant-Man" sequel lined up in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase 3's plans, she could appear at some point before "Ant-Man 2″ comes out.

"Whether it's in an 'Ant-Man' standalone sequel or one of the later Phase 3 movies is still being decided," Feige says. "But I've seen that moment in the movie where the door goes up and reveals that Wasp suit 15 thousand times now, and I get chills every single time because it is so cool. Part of it is because you've been with her frustration, and her 'It's about damn time.' When we do it, which we're going to, it needs to be done really well. [laughs]"

When asked if there's a chance that "Ant-Man 2″ could be a late addition to Phase 3 like the standalone "Spider-Man" film was, Feige says, "I don't really know. There are only so many slots, which people don't like when I say that, but it's just the facts of how many weekends are in a year and also how many productions we can do and maintain the level of quality that we want to maintain.

"We're keeping to basically the plan that was announced last October, with the addition of 'Spider-Man' in there," he continues. "I don't really know where it could fit in sooner than that. But if there's an overwhelming reason to find a place, we'll look."

Even though there were some script changes with Hope's character, the plan was always to end the movie with her receiving the Wasp suit. Lilly can't speak much to what Hope will be like as a superhero, but she does think she's prepared for the lifestyle change.

"She was raised by two superheroes, so she knows probably better than everybody the pitfalls of that life, the pitfalls of that responsibility and how it can weigh on a human being and what it can do to their personal life," Lilly says. "Hopefully that's taught her a lot, and hopefully as she grows and matures and develops as a woman, that will give her greater and greater wisdom."

She notes of her character in "Ant-Man," "I think you see a lack of wisdom in this film. I think you see a lot of intelligence, you see a lot of pride, you see a lot of bravado. She's very brave, she's very capable but I don't think you see a ton of wisdom and restraint, and I think that that will hopefully grow as the character grows."

Lilly is as excited as viewers to see Hope in action as Wasp. "When I signed on with that contract, I knew there was a chance I would never do another Marvel film, but they make you sign them anyway," she says. "I hope I actually get to fulfill that contract."
