Evangeline Lilly Has Already Been Fitted for a Wasp Costume
Apparently, Marvel is planning to make good on Ant-Man's teasing post-credits Wasp scene.
In a Facebook Q&A with Evangeline Lilly, the Hope van Dyne actress revealed she had previously been fitted for the famous Wasp costume at Marvel. Since that time, she explains, she's been pregnant and unable to try it on. Still, the fitting has taken place, and she's ready to put it on as soon as possible.
"Let's hope I fit it again!" She joked.
Fans asked Lilly a wide number of questions, ranging from her take on Hope's wardrobe to whether or not Hope would return as Wasp in future Marvel Cinematic Universe films.

Rainbow Six Siege Delayed
Ubisoft has announced Rainbow Six Siege has been delayed to December 1.
The upcoming title was originally due to release worldwide on October 13, with today's delay pinned on adjustment and improvements across all game modes.
"We’ve decided to push the release date of Rainbow Six Siege to December 1, 2015 for all regions," explains a post. "This wasn’t an easy decision, but based on the feedback we’ve received, and based on our own internal tests, we felt there are adjustments and improvements we can make, including improving the co-op experience across all game modes, weapon and gadget balancing, as well as menu and interface navigation. We’re taking a little more time to make these changes, and we think it’s the right call.
Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime Coming Soon
Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime will launch on Xbox One and Steam on September 9.
The 1-2 player co-op game has you frantically switching back and forth between the various systems of a spaceship.

If you still don't know what Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is, IGN has a better answer for you. Back in October, it was also one of our 5 best indie games you haven't heard of yet.
Creative Director Leaves Warhammer 40K MMO
David Ghozland, Creative Director on the upcoming MMO Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade, has announced that he is leaving developer Behaviour Games.
"I am telling you with a heavy heart that today I am leaving Warhammer 40,000: Eternal crusade. I have been honored to be your creative director for the last 2 years," Ghozland wrote on the official Eternal Crusade forums.
This news follows a string of other departures from the studio earlier this year, which included the lead programmer, lead level designer, and studio head.
We first learned about Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade over two years ago. Last June, a semi-crowdfunding effort was announced to bring more content to the game. A closed beta is coming soon to those who backed it, with the official launch planned to be in 2016.
Iceman Wants Ghost Rider Role
Shawn Ashmore says he would love to make a standalone Iceman movie, and also intimated that he’d be keen to play Ghost Rider should the opportunity arise.
We spoke with the X-Men star while he was promoting Quantum Break at GamesCom, and asked if he’d like to see he most famous character take centre stage in a spin-off.
“An Iceman solo movie? If Fox would make it then I would do it. I love that character, I love the Marvel universe, especially the last couple of films. I was so excited about Days of Future Past when I heard about that – reading the script, realising the script – it was so exciting for me, so if that was ever an opportunity? Absolutely.”
However, Ashmore says he’s very aware that standalone movies might not be right for the series. “The other thing about the X-Men is I think is that they work best as a team” he explained. “What I always loved about the X-Men is that it wasn’t about solo characters. I think that the characters really come to life when you put them in the context of the school with Xavier, with the team – that’s what I always loved about the X-Men. So I’m not sure if that would ever happen. It would be exciting if it did, but there is something to be said about the team.”
