Ant-Man and the Wasp actor Evangeline Lilly calls out her male Marvel co-stars for complaining about their suits

antman and the wasp actress evangeline lilly on male marvel actors complaining about their superhero outfits

Actor Evangeline Lilly said she has never understood why her fellow male Marvel actors are always complaining about wearing their superhero suits.

The 38-year-old actor, who plays Hope van Dyne/Wasp in the upcoming Ant-Man and the Wasp film, shared her thoughts about men saying their suits are uncomfortable and too tight during the film’s press tour with BackstageOL.

“I have been hearing Marvel male superheroes complain about their suits for years. And I got into my suit and I was wearing it, working in it, doing my thing, and I was like. ‘(It’s) just not that bad.’ Do I have the most comfortable suit in the MCU, or (holds up her high-heeled foot for the camera) have men not had the life experience of being uncomfortable for the sake of looking good?” Lilly said.

“They’re just like, ‘What is this? This sucks. Why are we… why? Why do I have to go through this?’ Whereas a woman is like, ‘I don’t know. This is like normal. I wear heels to work. I’m uncomfortable all day. You get used to it. You tune it out’,” she added.

In the past, Paul Bettany has called his Vision attire “painful”, Tom Holland called his Spidey suit “not the greatest thing”, Chadwick Boseman noted how it gets “blazing hot” in his Black Panther getup, and Chris Evans revealed how “not comfortable” his Captain America suits have been.

Evangeline Lilly is also known for starring as Kate Austen in ABC’s TV series Lost and as the elf Tauriel in Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit trilogy. She first played the role of Hope van Dyne in 2015. She will reprise the role in next year’s Avengers 4.

The Ant-Man and the Wasp, also starring Paul Rudd, Michelle Pfeiffer, Michael Peña and Michael Douglas, will release in India on July 13.

Emma Thompson: I was always paid less than my male counterparts

Emma Thompson says she was always paid less than her male colleagues. The 59-year-old actor-writer said women are still treated as “second-class citizens”. She also advocated to publish salaries to reveal the gender pay gap. “I was always paid less than my male counterparts. Publishing figures is the first step. “It’s a forensic way of looking at how women are second-class citizens, and I appreciate that because it’s not emotional. This is the fact: this person does the same work for less money, and that’s just wrong,” Thompson told Good Housekeeping magazine.

Bobby Deol was the ‘it boy’ of the 90s but will his comeback still hold that charm?

With his curly hair, bobbling head and round sunglasses, we still think of “ Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela ” when we think of Bobby Deol. After a string of popular films like Gupt and Soldier among others, Bobby made quite a name for himself in the 90s. Bobby was never known for his acting chops. What he was known for was his swag, even though the word did not exist back in the day. His undeniable charisma and those long wavy hair made him stand out in the crowd. The 90s were a much simpler time. Words like nepotism weren’t thrown around before a star kid’s debut and hence, Bobby Deol was proudly known as Dharmendra ’s younger son. His older brother Sunny Deol was already the dhai -kilo-ka-haath man and here was Bobby, trying to make googly eyes at the ladies. It was expected that with Bobby entering the world of movies, this family would turn into a crackling team.
