Evangeline Lilly on South of Heaven, Real Steel, and the Ant-Man 3 Script

With director Aharon Keshales’ (Big Bad Wolves) South of Heaven now playing in selected theaters and available On-Demand and digitally, I recently spoke with Evangeline Lilly to talk about being part of the indie crime thriller where she stars opposite Jason Sudeikis. If you’re not familiar with the movie, South of Heaven features Sudeikis as Jimmy, a man who receives early parole after being in prison for twelve years and promises to give his dying girlfriend Annie (Lilly) a great last year. However, Sudeikis’ honest plans take a turn when his parole officer (Shea Whigham) forces him into running an errand or end up back in jail. The film also stars Mike Colter as a local crime boss.

During the interview, Lilly talked about what drew her to playing this character, why she wanted to work with Aharon Keshales, how she prepared for playing someone dying from lung cancer, how she influenced the script and a specific scene, what she remembers about being an extra in Freddy vs. Jason, why she loves when people want to talk to her about Real Steel, and more. In addition, with Lilly currently filming Peyton Reed’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania in London, she talked about Jeff Loveness’ script, why it has the chance to be the best Ant-Man yet, and why she loved both WandaVision and Loki.
