We Could Have Sworn Evangeline Lilly Has Been in More Movies Than This

To this day, Lost has a cult following thanks to characters like Kate Austen, played by Lilly. The series, in case you somehow missed it (seriously, how?), follows the survivors of a plane crash who are forced to work together in order to survive on a tropical island.

The little-seen drama Afterwards tells the story of Nathan (Romain Duris) and his recently divorced wife, Claire (Lilly). Nathan is approached by a doctor who calls himself a "Messenger" (John Malkovich), who can sense when people are going to die.

Apart from some scenes in Lost, Lilly's first foray into the world of onscreen action-adventure came with her role in Real Steel. She starred opposite Hugh Jackman in the film, in which robot boxing is a top sport.

Lilly famously played the elf Tauriel in both The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and its sequel, The Battle of the Five Armies.

In 2015, Lilly leaped onto the big screen again for Marvel's Ant-Man. Starring as Hope van Dyne, Lilly gives Paul Rudd (aka Ant-Man) a run for his money in the wit department. More on her later.

When Samantha (Lilly) and Gary (Adam Scott) get married, everything is great. Samantha is the women of his dreams, and he's so excited to become a dad to her young son. But Gary soon finds out that Samantha's son may be the Antichrist . . . and Samantha has no idea.

Whereas Hope van Dyne doesn't get to have too much fun in the first Ant-Man, she transitions to full-on hero in the new sequel. As The Wasp, she partners up with Ant-Man to fight crime — and unlike her compatriot, she can fly.
