She shared an exciting filming update in a chat with The Hollywood Reporter for her upcoming film South of Heaven and her character in the MCU got a little extra as she revealed that the filming is halfway through.

Lilly also revealed that Jonathan Majors would be the next big bad in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania wherein he would be back as Kang the Conqueror. More than that, Lilly has a heartfelt realization in this third film as while reading the script, she had a "eureka moment" that after years of portraying The Wasp, she finally understands Hope Van Dyne better than before, having a deeper connection to her character.
