Famous worldwide for her role as Kate in the TV series Lost, Canadian actress Evangeline Lilly recently announced on her Instagram account that she is retiring, but “might come back one day.”
After delighting us in the JJ Abrams TV series, playing Elf Tauriel in The Hobbit trilogy and lending her features to Hope Van Dyne as well as The Wasp in the Marvel Ant-Man movies, Evangeline Lilly has decided to take a break from her career.
The 44-year-old actor shared a video from 2006 in which he already expressed his desire to “retire”.
“Where do I want to be in ten years? I’m afraid to admit it to the world and to other actors, but ideally in ten years I want to be retired and have a family. I want to write. And impact people’s lives in a humanitarian way.”
This video is accompanied by the following message: “Thanks to Lost theothers for unearthing this shot (almost twenty years old) of me talking about my dreams under a full moon (what it looks like). And thanks to @femalepoetssociety for unearthing these (much older) shots of the incredible Maya Angelou that perfectly sum up how I feel about life.
I might go back to Hollywood one day, but for now I’m happy where I am.
Today I am so full of joy and contentment because I am living my life on my terms. Praise God, I am so thankful for the blessings I have received. Going far with what seems to be the most obvious choice (wealth and fame) can be scary at times, but your commitment to dharma replaces fear with realization. I might go back to Hollywood one day, but for now I’m happy where I am. The new season is here and I’m ready…and happy. “
In another post showing a tree branch, Evangeline Lilly wrote:Only by living can we be freed from it. So live as you see fit.”

His career has been suspended for 3 years…
contacted varietyThe actor explains that after filming Ant-man: Quantumania, he already retired from the set and has not tried new roles since then.
“I actually took a break from acting for the last three years (after I finished working on Quantum Mania). This time spent outside the profession brought me fulfillment and joy. I may be back tomorrow, in two years, or never, but for now, I’m not actively looking for work in the industry, and I’m under no contractual obligations to anyone. I devote my time to my humanitarian work and writing.”
If for the moment the actor prefers to leave the set, the latter can return a little later if the desire takes him away. Therefore, the Wasp character should not appear in any future Marvel movies.
