We went to Los Angeles to talk with the character of Ant-Man and the protagonist of Wasp Evangeline Lilly, who tells us about the strong female characters – not strong – that she wants to see in movies, Lost and even the Hobbit.
They Created Ant-Man Right After Ultron Avengers Era and Now First Right After Infinity War …
Here's the question: it's a brilliant and clever design that our sweet, small and familiar story appears right after this huge, heavy, intense adventure called Avengers Infinity War . People will need it because they will say "Oh my god it was amazing, the best I can not stand it". and then it'll be Ok … I need to breathe & # 39; and we hope to have fresh air that people need.
What did you expect for you in Ant-Man and Wasp ?
Amazing or not … I think there is less action for me. Because a lot of things about Wasp, it's when it's small and it's CGI … I'm sorry to break the illusion. Although yes, I got involved when it came to establishing how I wanted to fight, what style, what shape it was. Is it more boxing type or more martial arts? For me this creation of the character was important because in the original comics, Wasp is very sensual in his movements and of course it was a trend, but we are already in 2018, and #TimesUp for me it was very important to represent her completely feminine but not the sexualization of femininity. There is a lot of temptation to make the woman act like a man, to fight like a man and make her look imposing, then say: "ah, that's a female character strong "and I think it is betraying women it is" you are only valid if you act like a man ". So I always fought to "fight like a girl" but be as powerful or more like Ant-Man without having to act like a guy.
Also the wings add a lot of femininity
It's amazing and this gives the girls the opportunity to enter the world of action heroes but they love fairies and those things. Some time ago, a member of the team told me that he had been working in Marvel movies for years, and his nephew is obsessed with what he's doing but that his niece does not care about anything, not even a little. But one day she told him about this movie, and she still did not pay much attention, she continued to play, until something stopped all that 's right. she was doing, she turned to him and said: And suddenly, I was totally immersed in what his uncle had told him. For me, it's important because it opens doors for little girls.
How do you treat secrets? Lost, The Hobbit and now Ant-Man and the Wasp ?
I have a bad attitude when it comes to keeping secrets. I always minimize them, I say "Oh, that does not matter, send it to me, it's no problem, we only make movies". ;. But I think spoilers ruin the experience for people. I was one of those kids who, at Christmas, did not try to open their gifts before because I wanted to surprise me on Christmas morning. So I respect those who do not want to know but we go … it is not that they are secrets of National Security, even if sometimes they are treated like that.
Who were the most secret? The Hobbit, Marvel or Lost ?
The Hoobit was always the least, the most relaxed but they were also Kiwi (New Zealanders) and between Marvel and Lost … Marvel are more confidential, but also the technology that exists now when we were doing the show, do not compare, it's much more complicated to keep a secret now than when he appeared Lost . approach your character but through the vision of Russo?
It was interesting because they knew these characters for so many years, no one could tell them anything that they did not know about. And I do not know her as much (at Hope Pym), I always discover her, while filming Ant-Man and Wasp I got very close to Peyton and asked if it was ok or not, etc. . But with the Russo brothers, they're already so used to it that everybody knows what they're doing, that they're saying, "Well, go do your thing" but I thought, "I do not know myself still not, I do not know what they want from me. it was a challenge for me, take all the control of Wasp, and be it, trust him.
You mention that we need stories with strong female characters, but also with weak characters, other complexes, etc …
I think that There has been in the history of cinema, when a woman appears on the screen, usually it is always among a lot of men, all paying attention, and I feel that the distorted message is given to what we must aspire to as women, is to be the center of attention in the world of men. And that generates competition, because only one person can be the center of attention and also generates a conformity of knowing what men want, that we can be the center of their attention.
But I think we can pop movies with more stories of women, beside them, on the periphery, in the center, up, down, different colors, personalities, sensitivity, then women could be represented as what we really are, and find a place, because there are so many different places, for sure yours is represented there. And from there, you should discover how you can be the center of attention for yourself.
And men have had a lot of movies in which they are in different roles, whether it's up, down, protagonists, saviors, villains, have had that luxury of having stories where they are thinking … and now it's time to have these stories too.
A female character you like a lot in movies?
When we were little sister and I watched a movie again and again that was called Working Girl with Harrison Ford, Melanie Griffith and Sigourney Weaver. And when I saw her sometime later, I think I understood why I liked her: because they were three protagonists, two women and one man, and these women represent totally different roles with very different characteristics, sexuality, energy, and both very interesting and at the same time with a lot of flaws. I believe that in my unconscious, my sister and I, we recognized something very real and we reinforced it. In the end, Griffith's character ended up being the main character, where he ended up being the CEO of a transnational corporation, and it was a big message to the girls who saw it.
Have you ever returned? your movies or Lost ?
I learned that my son recently saw Ant-Man without me, which was a bit painful. And recently, I saw Steel Giants . Lost ? It's a long time to see it … and I'm sorry to say it too with the three The Hobbit -ríe-. But it was very funny to see them for the first time … but in fact I do not see many movies more than once.
What a character must accept to interpret it?
If I read a script and I do not feel connected to anyone, I do not take it, because if it's not in me, that's not it. What I 'm trying to do is that my character can shoot arrows and kill orcs, have wings and guns, which does not matter, that' s it. they are vulnerable, that they have mistakes, because many people see this as a weakness. fortress.
