We’ve had quite a few teasers at Evangeline Lilly’s Wasp costume for the upcoming “Ant-Man and The Wasp”, but on the late Jack Kirby’s 100th birthday, Lilly has given us a full look at the costume. Kirby was/is a Marvel comic book artist and legend, and collaborated with Stan Lee with the creation of the original Wasp, Janet Van Dyne (mother of Hope) in 1963.
“Ant-Man and the Wasp” is currently filming, and Lilly revealed a picture of her full costume on set of the film on her Twitter:
I am honoured to be on set today playing #TheWasp on what would be Jack Kirby’s 100th birthday.
