Hayley Lovitt Cast as 'Janet van Dyne' in 'ANT-MAN'

Although its been reported we don't actually see Janet van Dyne's face in the film, virtually unknown actress Hayley Lovitt revealed on Twitter that she portrayed Janet in the film. It's also been revealed that Janet may not be dead in the film, and may retain her youthfulness if she's stuck in the Quantum Realm. Lovitt may have signed a multi-picture deal which would be exciting to see Janet explored more in upcoming movie releases.
 

Lovitt posted the information last night on her facebook, in regards to what her role entailed: "Well, I've had to keep my mouth shut about this for a number of months now. The official release date is tomorrow, but a lot of theaters have it today! I play The Wasp (the original Avenger! The one who NAMED the Avengers!), Janet Van Dyne, in Ant-Man. I believe Marvel has since decided to give Janet a much bigger role in the MCU of film (my own belief/speculation, you know how Marvel keeps things secret), with many speculating on who might play her. Because of this you miiiiight not recognize me in the film, as I am in FULL Wasp attire including helmet with yellow tinted eye glass. And my lines were cut to conceal my voice. But I'm still in this super awesome film! With this amazingly iconic Marvel credit and a really cool scene I got to shoot w Michael Douglas. And a little photo shoot that shows at the end of the film. I have seen this film, and it is SERIOUSLY FUNNY. If you aren't a comic fan, trust me, you will still enjoy this one. ‪#‎Antman‬ ‪#‎marvel‬ ‪#‎janetvandyne‬ ‪#‎MCU‬ ‪#‎iamjanet‬"
