Evangeline Lily on women power, obsessions & being the Wasp

Like an angel in white, Evangeline Lily walks into the room. We clap, she beams and claps for us. From the moment she enters you can feel the positivity. She commands the room, much in the same way that she commands the screen…she is a power to be reckoned with, and for the next few minutes she’s here for our questions.

On Women Being Represented 

It was really cool, that they really wanted to honor this moment where a female superhero is being titled and billed, and I think Marvel is just absolutely hell bent and passionate right now about representing women as fierce and capable and as equals to men.

I think what this moment in our culture, with “Me Too” I know we’ve made some progress, and that’s great, but we’re still not equal, and that’s clear by the fact that you’ve made 20 movies, and never had a female in the title.  So, this is a big moment, and it is a big deal, and I don’t want to downplay it.  I want to celebrate it and be excited about it.

On Working with Michelle Pfeiffer

I used to fantasize about being Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman.  I was obsessed with her. It’s Michelle Pfeiffer in a skin-tight leather costume, owning it, and being fierce as shit.  But, also, I think it was because there wasn’t a lot to choose from, you know.  There just weren’t very many female superheroes.  It was mostly male superheroes.

It was a dream, to work with Michelle.  Because the weird thing is, an actor, and maybe you guys experience this as journalists now and meeting actors, is that you can be obsessed with someone on the screen, and then you meet them, and they just destroy it for you.  And you’re just like, “I wish I’d never met you.”

I’m like, “I want you to be perfect, you know?”  And that’s impossible.  Who can live up to that?  Michelle can.  She can.  She’s perfect, like, there’s no flaws.  She’s nice.  She’s generous.  She’s smart.  She’s funny.  She’s intelligent.  She’s considerate.  She’s talented, and of course, she is the hottest sixty-something or however old she is you’re ever gonna meet.  And so playing her daughter was an incredible honor, and also, I had to just bite my tongue, ’cause every day, I wanted to just be like, “Can you be my mentor?”

On a Woman’s Perspective as a Superhero

I wanted to show that we are strong because of our femininity, not in spite of it.  I wanted to show that, when Hope was Hope, and she was emotional and vulnerable and smiling and pleasant and happy and not like, just badass bitch, you know.   I wanted to show that when she was fighting, by incorporating grace and elegance and femininity into the fight.

It’s ballet.  Like no dude could do that, ’cause men can’t move that way, because they don’t have the flexibility, agility or the petiteness to come out a back window and in a front window.  They just couldn’t.  Let’s examine how a woman could have an advantage over a man, physically, because she’s a woman, not because she figured out how to move like a man.  That was something I was really passionate about.
