The Wasp suits up s in on the action in Marvel's Ant-Man & the Wasp, but both superheroes become fugitives in the process. This places Evangeline Lilly, who plays Hope Van Dyne, a.k.a. the Wasp, in familiar territory, since she began her career playing another famous wanted outlaw: Kate Austen on Lost.
TheMichelle Pfeiffer) from the Quantum Realm. As a result, Scott, Hope, and Hank all become fugitives from the law.

When Screen Rant visited the set of Ant-Man & the Wasp, Lilly further explained why Hope is on the run with Scott and her father while noting the irony that her Marvel superhero persona now echoes her star-making television role:
Hope and Hank at this point, because of Civil War... with Captain America... they're a little bit on the run. They're on the lam. We have technology that would be considered a superpower in the Marvel-verse. At that point in time, you're not allowed to have that independently. So yeah, our life has dramatically changed; not for the better in our opinion. In a weird twist of fate, I'm like a convict on the run again. For anyone that is a Lost fan, that might ring familiar. But I like it. It's fun.
It seems the actress is referring to the Quantum Realm.
Meanwhile, Hope's predicament does amusingly place Evangeline Lilly in a role very familiar to longtime fans of Lost. The actress rose to fame portraying Kate, one of the survivors of Oceanic 815 who crashed on the mysterious island. Kate was a fugitive traveling under the custody of a U.S. Marshal, who finally captured her after she went on the run for killing her abusive father. While Hope's crimes aren't as severe as Kate's, it's still ironic that the straight-laced Hope ends up ing Scott Lang, who has been incarcerated twice for burglary and for violating the Sokovia Accords, on the lam.
It seems the actress has come full-circle. However, since Hope is actually breaking the law to rescue her missing mother, even Kate Austen would probably approve of Hope Van Dyne's actions in Ant-Man & the Wasp.
