Evangeline Lilly

Evangeline Lilly is at the top of her game right now, and it seems as though she can do no wrong. She’s played Hope Van Dyne/The Wasp in the Antman series, and she’s even played Tauriel in The Hobbit series. Of course, she didn’t just magically make her way into the Marvel Cinematic Universe or just pop on a plane to Hobbiton. Evangeline had to work her way up, and in 2003 she took on an uncredited role as a police officer in The Lizzie McGuire Movie.
