Ben Rothstein / Marvel Studios [19659007] The long-time couple has two children together: her 7-year-old son Kahekili and a 2-year-old daughter.
She adds, "I felt so incredibly proud that a little boy pretended to be a female superhero, not to mention him my son, pretending to be me. Usually, "Mom" is the coolest person ever. "
Lilly, 38, does not take her role as Hope van Dyne lightly. is the first superheroine to be mentioned in the title of a Marvel film in the film history of the universe for 10 years. "The truth is that I felt both from the pressure and excitement in the shoot, but once we started shooting, the pressure melted in the same pressure as any other role – the pressure to be honest and tell the truth. take to the screen. I just wanted to pay tribute to Hope as a person, "she explains. "Women are having an incredible cultural time, but let's not lose sight of all the women who came before us. We are the tip of a powerful iceberg that keeps growing and transforming itself. I am just a cornerstone, creating something hopeful and I hope something inspiring. "
The alum Lost applauds Ant-Man and Wasp emphasize the partnership." Marvel never intended that Ant- Man and Wasp are an acolyte and a superhero. It was evident in the way they set up their dynamic in the first film Ant-Man . Hope trained Scott ( Paul Rudd ) to be Ant-Man. She was always going to hold hers, "says Lilly. "Hope and Scott are opposed." Hope is calculative, driven and accurate. "Scott is emotional, fluid and relaxed .These differences are their strength .At the present time, at a time when opposites can be perceived as something threatening, it's a nice thing to show how much the opposites are crucial, vital and irresistible when they are adopted.Good needs are left, high needs are low , red needs blue, black needs white, it's the balance of life, Hope and Scott are yin and yang, and it's not just sexy, but c & rsquo; Is really fun to watch. "
Although the first film prepared Lilly for her role as a hopeful, she had to fight to become the Wasp. "My training for the film was much more mental than physical.The truth is that I've always been the type of person to keep fit," she notes. "But the physical feeds into the mind, so when I'm out in the forest covered with hoar frost until my lungs sting, I've savored the sensation of digging, the grain that you adopt to grow your body. This really put my mind in a Wasp space – no pity, no mistakes, no excuses … just results. "
She continues:" The biggest dietary adjustment I've done was really greatly reduced my salt intake. I love a plate full of bacon or a bag of mesquite BBQ chips, but the swelling that it induces is not so strange as that. "
Though she's shining on her own, Lilly can not wait for moviegoers to discover her team." – with Rudd, 49: "The thing I'm most excited about for the audience is to see Scott and Hope in action together . I really like, really look like this movie team. It's cool and fun, and I could watch Scott and Hope get under the skin all day.
