While Marvel has already cast Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas in Ant-Man, Evangeline Lilly is reportedly being considered for the female lead.

Evangeline Lilly is currently in the running to star alongside Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas in director Edgar Wright’s Ant-Man adaptation.

The actress was most recently seen in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug as Tauriel, but her biggest fan base comes from her role in the highly popular TV show Lost.

Variety reports that Lilly is in early talks to star in the film, but there are currently no details for which character, which is due mostly to the plot still being under wraps.

Rumors suggest she could be playing Paul Rudd’s love interest in the film, which is most likely a fair guess considering her star power is on the rise after her recent outing as an elven beauty.

The best case scenario for fans would be if she played the character Wasp, who has the ability to shrink like Ant-Man, with the additional ability of flight. There’s no evidence of this so far, but this could be the perfect opportunity to introduce a great female superhero.

Director Edgar Wright’s Ant-Man film was set to hit theaters on July 31, 2015, but it has been moved up to July 17. The date recently opened up when Superman Vs Batman was delayed by 10 months, pushing its release date into 2016.

Ant-Man has been gaining steam as of late with Paul Rudd being cast as Ant-Man and Michael Douglas joining the film as Hank Pym.

Ant-Man will begin production this April and hit theaters mid 2015. We look forward to hearing more about Evangeline Lilly’s Ant-Man character as more details emerge about her possible involvement.
