Concept, casting, and creation

edit
Lilly at the 2014San Diego Comic-Conwhere it was announced that she would be portraying Van Dyne

Joss Whedon,the writer and director ofThe Avengers,originally intended to have the Wasp appear in the film due to potential scheduling conflicts preventingScarlett Johanssonfrom appearing in the film asNatasha Romanoff / Black Widow.[1]Whedon wantedZooey Deschanelto play the role of Wasp.[2]

In 2013, actressesJessica Chastain,Emma Stone,Rashida JonesandBryce Dallas Howardwere in talks to play the female lead in the then-upcomingAnt-Manfilm.[3]In February 2014,Evangeline Lillywas rumored to be cast in the role whileEdgar Wrightwas still slated to direct.[4][5]When Wright left the film later in the year and was replaced byPeyton Reed,Lilly was reluctant to take the role until she read the revised script and got a chance to meet with Reed.[6]After reading the revised script, she felt that the film was also "pulled" more into the MCU than Wright's version adding that while Wright's version was "incredible" and would have been great to film and watch, "it would not have fit in the Marvel Universe. It would have stuck out like a sore thumb, no matter how good it was. It just would have taken you away from this cohesive universe they're trying to create. And therefore it ruins the suspended disbelief that they've built".[7]

Reed and Lilly alongsidePaul Rudd,who was set to star asScott Lang,contributed ideas to the revised script to help flesh out Lilly's character, who received a fuller arc and more action sequences as a result.[8]One of the important things for Reed when joining the film was emphasizing both Hope andJanet van Dynemore, given the Wasp being "a crucial part" of the Ant-Man comics.[9]Hope shares her last name with her mother rather than her father,Hank Pym,as "statement of her ambivalence toward her father".[10]Lilly noted that the name change "emphasizes the challenges the two characters need to overcome in order to reconcile, as well as reflects the tragedy of Janet's loss that created the rift in the first place".[10][11]

It was eventually announced at the 2014San Diego Comic-Conthat Lilly was cast as Van Dyne.[12]She went on to sign a multi-film contract with Marvel.[13]

Characterization

edit

Personality and depictions

edit

Hope van Dyne first appeared inAnt-Man(2015) and is introduced as the daughter of ex-S.H.I.E.L.D.agents Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne, and senior board member of her father's companyPym Technologies.[4][5][6][8]Lilly described her character as "capable, strong, and kick-ass", but said that being raised by two superheroes resulted in Hope being "a pretty screwed up human being [...] and the clear message sent by my name is that I'm not a big fan of my father and so I took my mother's name."[14]She added that Van Dyne's "arc in the movie is trying to find a relationship" with Pym, which in turn brings Hope closer to becoming a hero.[15][16]Kevin Feigenoted that Van Dyne was the more obvious choice to take up the mantle of Ant-Man, being "infinitely more capable of actually being a superhero" than Lang, and that the reason she does not is because Pym is afraid of losing her, rather than sexism.[13]Despite this, at the end of the film during amid-credits scene,Van Dyne is offered a prototype for a new suit from her father in which she notes that it's "about damn time".[17]

In 2016, Feige revealed that Lilly was to appear as the Wasp in an original draft of the filmCaptain America: Civil War(2016), but her scenes were cut out of the final script because "there were so many characters inCivil Warthat [they] didn't want to do her a disservice ".[18]Peyton Reednoted that "Scott almost did call Hope" but "the Russo brothers, along with their screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, felt that there was too much story riding on the backs of too many characters to do justice to Wasp".[19]

Lilly reprised her role and made her debut as the Wasp inAnt-Man and the Wasp(2018).[20][21]In the film, Van Dyne takes on the mantle to help find her mother who is presumed lost in theQuantum Realm.[21]The writers were excited to properly introduce the character as the Wasp, showing her "power set, how she fights, and what are the injustices that matter to her".[22]Lilly felt the character had "incredible satisfaction" in becoming the Wasp, "something that she has been waiting for her whole life" noting that it "is essentially an affirmation from her father".[23]Her relationship with Lang is more complicated as she was angry at his involvement inCaptain America: Civil Warbut more angry that he did not ask her to help him fight the Avengers withSteve Rogersand his allies, stating that he would not have gotten caught if she was there.[24][25][26]In her fight sequences, Lilly stated that she wanted to move away from masculine styles of fighting such asMuay Thaiand themixed martial artsshe learned for the first film, noting that Van Dyne moves differently than a man, so her fights should have "elegance, grace and femininity" with "a signature style" young girls could enjoy and emulate.[27]Lilly worked with the writers to help ensure Van Dyne represented a modern woman without becoming a stereotyped motherly figure.[27]Additionally,Madeleine McGrawportrayed a younger version of Van Dyne in the film.[28]

In late 2016, two new Avengers films were announced to arrive in 2018 and 2019.[29]Lilly confirmed that Van Dyne would appear in the second Avengers film (eventually titledAvengers: Endgame) saying that her character would not appear in the 2018 instalment (Avengers: Infinity War) in order to preserve her reveal as the Wasp inAnt-Man and the Waspwhich was released the same year.[29]The Wasp eventually appeared duringthe final battleofAvengers: Endgame(2019).[30]In 2021, Lilly voiced an alternate version (variant) of Van Dyne in thefirst seasonofWhat If...?,in the episode "What If... Zombies?!"where her mother brought back a quantum virus and infected theUnited States.[31][32]Another version of Wasp was originally set to appear in the first draft ofDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessas a part of theIlluminatiwith head writer,Michael Waldron,revealing that theScarlet Witch"clapped her hands and smushed the Wasp".[33][34]

Lilly reprised her role as titular superhero inAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumaniawhich was released in the United States on February 17, 2023.[35][36][37]On her role in the final instalment of theAnt-Mantrilogy, Lilly noted that she was "really excited to have a chance to show a side of [Van Dyne] where she would make mistakes, she would be fragile, and she wouldn't always have the right answer".[32]In the film, Van Dyne is shown to be in a good place in which Lilly noted "that she's been trying to get to for a long time", having healed her relationship with her father, succeeded in saving her mother, fallen in love with Scott and is now a step-mother to Cassie.[32]With her relationship with Cassie, Van Dyne "sees her as a little girl who needs coddling or protecting".[32]Contrastingly, her relationship with her own mother at the beginning of the film is the polar opposite where Janet tires to protect Van Dyne by not letting her in.[32]After the film's release, in an interview withThe Hollywood Reporter,Lilly noted that Hope didn't "change a lot in [Quantumania] "adding that" there wasn't somewhere [Van Dyne] needed to get to or go other than just to repair a little wound in her relationship with her mom ".[38]Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumaniawriter,Jeff Loveness,explained that there was a scene in the film which showed Van Dyne having a son which "would've come in the 'probability storm' scene" but was cut because it "didn't fit in the flow".[39]

In December 2023, Van Dyne appeared in two episodes of thesecond seasonofWhat If...?.[40][41]Voiced by McGraw, a younger version of Van Dyne appears in "What If... Peter Quill Attacked Earth's Mightiest Heroes?" acting as "Hank's conscience".[42]She also appears in a non-speaking role in "What If... Captain Carter Fought the Hydra Stomper?" where she followsCaptain Carter's lead as a founding member of theAvengers.[41]Head writer,A. C. Bradley,noted that "Since Peggy Carter wasn't around to found S.H.I.E.L.D., that responsibility fell to Hope's parents, Hank and Janet [...] All this lead to Hope taking on the Wasp mantle earlier".[43]

Wasp suit and costume design

edit
Van Dyne (pictured) in her upgraded suit as depicted inAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania(2023)

An unfinished version of Van Dyne's Wasp suit made its first appearance in theAnt-Man(2015) mid-credit scene.[17]It was navy blue with golden and red strips of colour around, and was not seen in full until the film's sequel in 2018.[21]The suit features "Wasp stinger" blasters,[44]and was based on drawings by concept artistAndy Park,designed by British costume designer Louise Frogley and "required a four-month period of research and development before filmmakers arrived at a satisfactory result".[45]

The suit was called a "significant upgrade" from Lang's Ant-Man suit as it can shrink Van Dyne while also additionally having wings which can retract into the back of her suit — in comparison to Ant-Man who utilises ants for aerial transport.[44]In Lang's autobiography,Look Out for the Little Guy,the character noted that his suit is more manual while Van Dyne has a more intuitive control system and "can simply think about what size she wants to be and the suit obeys".[46]In an interview withScreen Rant,Lilly noted that Van Dyne's suit is an upgrade from Lang's suit due to the fact his suit was Hank Pym's from the 1960s.[44]Lilly also compared the suit toIron Man's armour because both do not need buttons to activate the suit.[44][47]

Throughout the films, Van Dyne's hairstyle has seen three different changes including abob cut,aponytailand apixie cut.[48]For the first film, Joanna Robinson ofVanity Faircriticised the use of Van Dyne's hairstyle saying "the most extreme thing Hope wears is that severe haircut".[17]Her ponytail, which made its debut in the second film, received critical acclaim withMashablewriter, Angie Han, noting that it was not a "fancysci-fiupdo or anything "but rather a" plain old messy ponytail, the likes of which you've seen on every long-haired woman at the gym ".[48]She added,

It may not sound like a big deal but that one detail speaks volumes about who Hope is [...] The MCU movies' first true leading lady isn't a literal goddess, or a mysterious spy, or a space assassin – She's a down-to-earth lady who's just like us. And that means she pulls her hair back when she beats up bad guys.[48]

InAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,Van Dyne's suit received an ugrade.[49]Paying homage to the originalJanet van Dynecostume, Van Dyne's suit was more "comic-accurate" being "bug-like and brightly colored" with black and yellow colours.[49]Her hairstyle was in a pixie cut for the film as Lilly had shaved her head four years prior and the call was made to do "another callback to the original Wasp in the comics" as she "often had a little short, dark pixie cut".[50]The hairstyle received generally mixed reviews.[51][52][53]

Reception

edit

Critical response

edit
Evangeline Lilly (pictured at the premiere forAnt-Man and the Wasp) received generally positive reception for her role as the Wasp

For her role in the firstAnt-ManfilmThe A.V. Clubwriter, Sam Barsanti noted that, "Hope is much more well-suited [...] to be a superhero than Paul Rudd's Scott Lang" but she didn't "get to do nearly as much stuff".[70]Contrarily, forAnt-Man and the Wasp,Stephanie Zacharek,writing forTime,felt that "the focus on Lilly as a better hero than Rudd was just checking off boxes in the name of gender equality".[71]Amon Warmann ofYahoo! Newspraised Lilly's voice role as Van Dyne in the fifth episode ofWhat If...?,"What If... Zombies?!",feeling that she" gave the episode's strongest performance "and that" Hope's final act of going giant size for the first time in the MCU was beautifully played ".[72]

Van Dyne's role inAnt-Man and the Waspwas often received with higher praise than compared to the first film withInsiderwriter, Kirsten Acuna, noting that, "Wasp is even more enjoyable to watch on screen".[73]She added that "not only can she build great tech, but she's also an expert at hand-to-hand combat" and that her and Lang "are pretty great to see working side by side".[73]Voxwriter, Alex Abad-Santos. agreed saying that in the sequel, "Lilly's Hope van Dyne was the smarter, tougher, better-trained character" and that "the movie fully acknowledges that Hope is the more adept superhero by letting her lead the way in these sequences".[74]

On Lilly's role inQuantumania,ScreenGeekwriter, Mark Salcido, noted that Van Dyne was "stilted" and sidelined to Rudd's Lang, but added that she had a few "rare touching moments between her andPfeiffer".[75]Conversely,The Hollywood Reporterwriter, Frank Scheck, found "Lilly's Wasp has plenty of moments to shine" but noted that it was "frustrating to see the main characters separated into various groups for long stretches of the film".[76]In a review for the film,IGNwriter, Joshua Yehl, noted Lilly's small role, saying that it "feels strange for a character who's mentioned in the title".[77]TheWrapwriter, Alonso Duralde, also wrote that Van Dyne felt "admittedly lost among all [the] characters" and that "despite the Wasp's inclusion in the title", the "superhero comes off as a bit of an afterthought once all is said and done".[78]Daily Bruinwriter, Francis Moon, also felt that "Lilly takes a backseat with no development of her character Hope or her alter-ego, the Wasp" in the film.[79]

Legacy and cultural impact

edit

In 2018, after appearing inAnt-Man and the Wasp,Van Dyne became the first superheroine to be a titular character in aMarvel Cinematic Universefilm, precedingCarol DanversinCaptain Marvel,Natasha RomanoffinBlack WidowandShuriinBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever.[80][11]Amelia Rayne Kim ofScreen Rantnoted that Van Dyne becoming the Wasp "not only made sense for the narrative but it prevented her from being simply a supporting character or a love interest".[80]Kim added that her titular introduction "broke down another barrier to the women of this universe achieving equal footing with its men".[80]On including the Wasp in the film's title forAnt-Man and the Wasp,Peyton Reed called it "organic" for both characters, and noted the Wasp's final line inAnt-Man—'It's about damn time'—as "very much about her specific character and arc in that movie, but it is absolutely about a larger thing. It's about damn time: We're going to have a fully realized, veryverycomplicated hero in the next movie who happens to be a woman. "[81]Reed would also push to ensure the Wasp received equal publicity and merchandise for the film.[82]

In an article comparing Van Dyne's humanitarian efforts to Thanos'infamous snap,Screen Rantwriter Derek Stauffer wrote that Van Dyne succeeded where Thanos failed.[64]He noted that Van Dyne's Pym van Dyne Foundation "managed to provide for a planet already in a state of overpopulation" rather than "eradicate life, as Thanos wanted".[64]To promoteAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania(2023),ZipRecruiterfeatured the company in an advertising skit showcasing "an engineer who landed her dream job working alongside [...] the Wasp".[83]
