Most fans probably didn't know this but there was a time when Hope van Dyne was supposed to be a part of Captain America: Civil War. Interestingly, Evangeline Lilly has revealed why Marvel decided to leave the Wasp out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe flick.
Lilly was one of the several stars who was interviewed for the book Marvel Studios: The First Ten Years (via ComicBook.com). The Ant-Man and the Wasp actress shared how Hope was initially considered to join Scott Lang in the fight against Iron Man, an idea she didn't like.
Luckily, the studio decided that Hope deserved better. However, they were concerned that Lilly would be disappointed about not being in the Captain America sequel.
It's a good thing that Marvel Studios decided that Hope should have a better debut. Her first amazing action sequence in Ant-Man and the Wasp confirmed that a female superhero can truly dominate a comic book movie.
Marvel Studios: The First Ten Years is published by Titan and will be available starting November 20.
