Evangeline Lilly was more than impressed with Marvel’s adaptation of “Ant-Man” and how much work the studio put into the production.
During an interview with Comic Vine, the actress admitted her expectations for working with Marvel weren’t very high; she believed the crew members wouldn’t listen to her ideas and she wouldn’t get to know people on such a big set.
However, Lilly acknowledged how wrong she was about Marvel and expressed how much fun she had on set.
"Honestly, it’s easy for me to talk about it,” Lilly told Comic Vine. “I’ve had such a wonderful experience. Marvel Studios has shocked the pants off me. I really expected to be walking into a great big machine that would be so well oiled and anybody new with new ideas or new contributions would just be a pain in the butt.
“Marvel could not have been more opposite to those expectations. They’ve been collaborative in a way that makes me feel like—and I know you’re going to say this is bullcrap but it’s totally true—in a way that makes me feel like I was working on a little indie project. I mean, it was that intimate and that collaborative. I just had a wonderful experience."
“Ant-Man,” starring Lilly, Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas will be released to theaters on July 17, 2015. For those unfamiliar with the production, check out Marvel’s synopsis below:
