The moving moment of Evangeline Lilly and Michelle Pfeiffer in the filming of Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania

‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantummania’ has already hit theaters. With it begins the new phase of Marvel, Phase 5, one that seems to have the Multiverse as its great setting and Kang the Conqueror as its great enemy. We have already explained a little more about it, with spoilers in the explained ending of ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantummania’ and in our analysis of the post-credits scenes of ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantummania’. But for us, as professionals, this great premiere has also been an opportunity to talk to its stars. Ricardo Rosado has been lucky enough to interview Evangeline Lilly and, among other things, has given us one of the keys to the tape.

‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantummanía’ deals, above all, with the family, with the relationships between parents and children. We knew that the casting of Kathryn Newton to play the grown-up daughter of Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) was going to be huge. After all, even if they don’t want to make the title even longer, they could give Cassie one more nickname, and join Ant-Man and the Wasp. However, for the part that she plays Evangeline Lilly, it should be noted that her relationship with her mother is also very important. If in the second between we live the long-awaited rescue, now we see how the characters of Michael Douglas and Lilly must coexist and understand that of Michelle Pfeiffer, who has spent 30 years in a mysterious kingdom that she refuses to tell anything about.

But the relationships of the characters are not the only ones that matter in a shoot. After all, even Hollywood stars are people of flesh and blood. For this reason, Evangeline Lilly also told us the moments that she shared on set with her parents in fiction that bordered on paternal feelings in reality. Especially with the great Michelle Pfeiffer, who is more important than ever in the film given her experience in the quantum world where the film takes place.

God, there are so many special moments. I think for me the most special moments with Michelle were when I had a really hard day on set and was able to walk into her trailer and sit and open up while she listened and supported me. She meant a world to me, I could cry just talking about it. She was a great ally and friend to me on this movie.

We don’t know what was happening to Evangeline Lilly that day, but we don’t need it either. The important thing is that someone with Pfeiffer’s prestige and career is always willing to let her partner take it out on her in her private trailer.
