Evangeline Lilly Drops Clue About Hugh Jackman's Return as Wolverine in 'Avengers'
Hugh Jackman has done his best to sidestep the topic of whether his beloved superhero Wolverine will be in either Avengers: Doomsday or Avengers: Secret Wars. Unfortunately for Jackman, the secretive approach to Wolverine's fate hasn't slowed down speculation about him appearing in at least one of the two upcoming Avengers films. Now, thanks to another face in the Marvel universe, that speculation intensified even more ahead of the holiday weekend. Evangeline Lilly, who plays Hope van Dyne, aka the Wasp in Ant-Man, responded to a comment about her and Jackman's character getting "screen time together" in Avengers: Secret Wars with just one cryptic emoji, as Avengers Updates detailed. It's an extremely interesting response from Lilly. However, there are a few big questions to answer before reading too far into it. While Lilly has played the role of the Wasp in three Ant-Man films, along with Avengers: Endgame, there's an obvious reason to buy into the hype on this, at least at first glance. There is one big asterisk to put next to this, though. As Variety highlighted back in June 2024, Lilly announced she was "stepping away" from acting on Instagram. Assuming there are no plans for a comeback on the horizon, that'd throw a big wrench in this theory, at least regarding the hopes of fans who are pushing for Wolverine to star in one of the upcoming Avengers movies. Unfortunately, for the time being, it will remain speculation and buzz until Marvel provides clarity. For good measure, Jackman did address the topic of Wolverine in Avengers: Doomsday back in May during an interview on The View. But in perfect Marvel superhero fashion, the actor stated that he "can't say much." "I can't say much," Jackman said. "...I really have nothing to add, and if I did, I would find a really cool way to not say it, but I actually have nothing to add." Here's to hoping Lilly knows something fans don't, because Avengers: Secret Wars isn't slated to hit the big screen until Dec. 17, 2027, so it's bound to be a long waiting Lilly Drops Clue About Hugh Jackman's Return as Wolverine in 'Avengers' first appeared on Men's Journal on Jul 5, 2025

Marvel's Evangeline Lilly says she had ‘hole punctured into face' after fainting
Marvel star Evangeline Lilly has said she had a 'hole punctured into my face' after she fainted and 'fell face first into a boulder'. The Canadian actress and author, who is known for her roles in TV series Lost and Marvel films Ant-Man (2015) and Avengers: Endgame (2019), shared photos online that showed a scab above her top lip and marks on her nose and chin. Advertisement In an Instagram post, she said: 'I fainted at the beach. And fell face first into a boulder. 'At the hospital, the nurses and doctor went straight into action, more determined to find the cause of my blackout than to stitch up the hole punctured into my face by the rock.' The 45-year-old said in a Substack post that she had had fainting spells 'since I was a little girl' which had been put down to hypoglycemia, also known as low blood sugar. She also said that she had 'blacked out' on the way to the hospital, as well as on the beach. Advertisement Lilly has also starred in films including comedy White Chicks and two Hobbit films – The Desolation Of Smaug (2013) and The Battle Of The Five Armies (2014).

'Lost' star Evangeline Lilly suffers injury from fainting on beach
Evangeline Lilly's trip to the beach took an unexpected turn when she landed in the hospital. The Marvel actress took to social media to share photos of her bloodied face after she fainted and suffered injuries to her face. "I fainted at the beach. And fell face first into a boulder," Lilly, 45, wrote on her Substack. "At the hospital, the nurses and doctor went straight into action, more determined to find the cause of my blackout than to stitch up the hole punctured into my face by the rock." In a photo she posted to Instagram, the "Lost" actress was seen with dried blood around her nose. In a second picture, she slightly lifted her head and opened her mouth to show her swollen lip with a few injuries on her chin. Lilly appeared to be in good spirits as she found some humor in her hospital visit. She explained that when doctors examined her, she said, "I smiled wryly at them. 'You won't find anything.' I said with a woozy voice..." The "Ant-Man" actress detailed more of her health history, revealing that she's had "absent" and "fainting spells" since childhood. "The doctors checked me for epilepsy when I was young and then settled on the idea of hypoglycemia (without doing any testing)," she wrote. After numerous trips to the doctor's office as well as multiple blood tests, Lilly said that the doctors couldn't determine her diagnosis. "What was interesting was how, even after a 12-hour fast, even after blacking out, my glucose levels never came back as low. Hypoglycemia, it seemed, was being ruled out." However, Lilly has been told by medical professionals these blackout episodes may be common. "I am not the only person who has blackout episodes that are not explained. The nurse who was tending me in the hospital told me that most patients with this issue are never given a medical answer as to why they blackout. Not with heart monitors, glucose monitors nor blood tests. They just have to live in the mystery of not knowing." She added that her partner had addressed his concerns and described his reaction when she had unexplained "blackout episodes." "My partner says that when I black out, I look like I die. He gets very afraid. My eyes roll back in my head and all life leaves my body. He is constantly checking my nose and mouth for breath. This time was no exception. He wasn't with me at the beach, but on the way to the hospital I blacked out again." The Hollywood actress concluded her post and wondered if there's a spiritual purpose to her out-of-body experiences. "Do you think a soul can leave a body and return? Do you think we have a soul?" Lilly's injury comes after her decision to step away from Hollywood. Last June, Lilly shared on Instagram that "I am so filled with joy and contentment today as I live out my vision. Praise God, I feel so grateful for my blessings. "Stepping away from what seems like the obvious choice (wealth and fame) can feel scary at times, but stepping into your dharma replaces the fear with fulfillment. I might return to Hollywood one day, but, for now, this is where I belong. A new season has arrived, and I AM READY... and I AM HAPPY." Lilly had previously thought about leaving Hollywood for good. Following her time on "Lost," she said that director Peter Jackson had to lure her into playing Tauriel in "The Hobbit."

Evangeline Lilly, 45, shares shocking photos of her facial injuries after horror fall at the beach
Evangeline Lilly has shared shocking photos of her facial injuries after suffering a horror fall at the beach. The Ant-Man star, 45, took to her Instagram page on Friday and posted a series of snaps looking bloodied and bruised. The star revealed that she had fainted at the beach and ended up falling face first into a boulder, which led to her being rushed to hospital. She penned: 'At the hospital, the nurses and doctor went straight into action, more determined to find the cause of my blackout than to stitch up the hole punctured into my face by the rock. I smiled wryly at them. '"You won't find anything." I said with a woozy voice...' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. It comes after Evangeline, who shot to fame as Kate Austen in the ABC drama series Lost, announced she is retiring from acting after 20 years on screen. Last June, the Hollywood veteran remarked on Instagram about her departure from showbusiness. 'I am so filled with joy and contentment today as I live out my vision,' wrote Evangeline. 'Praise God, I feel so grateful for my blessings. Stepping away from what seems like the obvious choice (wealth and fame) can feel scary at times, but stepping into your dharma replaces the fear with fulfillment.' Dharma is regarded in Hinduism as a cosmic law underlying right behavior and social order. She then added she may come back to acting, but not at the moment: 'I might return to Hollywood one day, but, for now, this is where I belong. A new season has arrived, and I AM I AM HAPPY.' Prior to this, Evangeline said she wanted a standalone Marvel movie. The star was reprising her role as Hope van Dyne/ Wasp in the Marvel Cinematic Universe blockbuster Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania when she said she plans to make it clear that she wants the character to be the subject of her own picture. Speaking to Variety at the world premiere of the film in Los Angeles in February 2023, Evangeline said: 'Well, I'm going to make a pitch that I think it might be time for Hope spin-off... for a Wasp standalone film. 'Do we agree? Anybody? Going once... going twice.' The actress has been in the MCU since the 2015 movie Ant-Man and feels established as a member of the superhero franchise. Evangeline said: 'When we first came into the universe, it was so established with Black Widow, Iron Man, Captain America, and all the original gangsters. And we were just like these new kids on the block who were trying to earn our stripes. 'And now all of a sudden we're in the centre at the launching point of Phase 5, and it feels really cool.' The actress previously revealed how she had plenty of input into the movie's script. She said: 'I have a lot of opinions and I'd love to share them and I'd love to give you my thoughts on all of this. 'And to do it with confidence and to do it with clarity, instead of, before I even speak, already... brushing my own ideas under the carpet, which is an old habit of mine. Like, 'Yeah, this probably isn't a very good idea, but...' or, 'You don't have to use this, I'm just going to tell you what it is.''

Hidden realities: 7 Behind the scenes secrets that could have changed the MCU forever
Ant Man The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has become a cultural phenomenon, weaving intricate storylines and introducing iconic characters that have captivated audiences worldwide. However behind the scenes, numerous creative decisions and near-misses could have dramatically altered the trajectory of this cinematic juggernaut. Here are seven lesser-known behind-the-scenes facts that shed light on the MCU's evolution. Iron man's almost cameo in Sam Raimi's Spiderman 2 In the early 2000s, Marvel contemplated integrating Tony Stark into Sam Raimi's Spider-Man universe. Plans were in motion for Stark to assist Dr. Otto Octavius in developing his mechanical arms in 'Spider-Man 2.' However, this crossover was ultimately shelved possibly due to the lukewarm reception of Spider-Man 3. This decision delayed Iron Man's cinematic debut until 2008, when Robert Downey Jr. donned the suit in a film that would launch the MCU. Gal Gadot's near role as Nebula Before Karen Gillan's portrayal of Nebula in 'Guardians of the Galaxy,' the role was offered to Gal Gadot. Scheduling conflicts and budgetary constraints led Gadot to decline, paving the way for her iconic role as Wonder Woman in the 'DC Extended Universe.' Interestingly, Jason Momoa was also considered for the role of Drax, suggesting a potential MCU lineup reminiscent of the Justice League. Wasp's intended introduction in 'The Avengers' Joss Whedon initially planned to introduce Janet van Dyne, the original Wasp, in 2012's 'The Avengers.' Concerns over Scarlett Johansson's availability as Black Widow prompted Whedon to consider Wasp as a replacement. Ultimately, Johansson reprised her role and Wasp's introduction was postponed until Ant-Man and the Wasp in 2018. A week that shaped the MCU A fascinating detail from the MCU timeline reveals that the events of 'Iron Man 2,' 'The Incredible Hulk' and 'Thor' all transpire within the same week. This convergence of storylines underscores the interconnectedness of the MCU and sets the stage for the formation of the Avengers. Benedict Cumberbatch's dual role in 'Doctor Strange' In 'Doctor Strange,' Benedict Cumberbatch not only portrayed the titular character but also lent his voice and motion capture performance to the film's antagonist, Dormammu. This dual role showcases Cumberbatch's versatility and adds a unique layer to the film's production. Tom Hiddleston's brief turn as Captain America During the filming of 'Thor: The Dark World,' Tom Hiddleston donned Captain America's costume for a scene where Loki impersonates the superhero. While Chris Evans ultimately portrayed the scene in the final cut, Hiddleston's version remains a testament to the playful dynamics on set. Captain America's early cameo in 'The Incredible Hulk' A deleted scene from 'The Incredible Hulk' features a glimpse of Captain America's frozen body, predating his official introduction in 'Captain America: The First Avenger.' This early nod to the character highlights Marvel's long-term vision for its interconnected universe. These behind the scenes revelations offer a glimpse into the complex decision-making processes that have shaped the MCU. Each choice from casting decisions to storyline adjustments has contributed to the rich tapestry that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
