Marvel stars share pro vaccine messages following Evangeline Lillys idiocy

Way back in Phase One of Marvel’s Avengers, my daughter declared The Wasp was her Avenger. She had no interest in the movies, she’s just always been into bees. Now, though, she’s getting into the movies and we’re re-watching all of them with her in order they came out. Hand to God we watched Ant Man on Wednesday last week. Finally – The Wasp! And Evangeline Lilly shoots her mouth off about proudly supporting Robert Kennedy, Jr. at his Anti-Vaccination rally the next day. *shakes head* This b*tch. Fortunately, as anyone who’s watched Ant Man knows, the best part of the movie are the supporting characters. David Dastmalchian, who played Kurt, had something to say about his leading lady. As did Marvel newcomer and Shang-Chi himself, Simu Liu. Without mentioning Evangeline by name, both men tweeted they were disappointed that people with huge platforms would use them to spread erroneous information.

Marvel stars Simu Liu and David Dastmalchian have both seemingly spoken out against Ant-Man actress Evangeline Lilly following her recent comments about her attendance at an anti-vaccine mandate rally in Washington, D.C.

Dastmalchian, who plays Kurt in the Ant-Man films, tweeted, “It’s so unfortunate when people with a large platform use that platform to share irresponsible things.” He did not mention Lilly by name.

Neither did Liu, who portrays the titular role in the 2021 Marvel film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, when he tweeted about the coronavirus pandemic on the day Lilly shared her post.

“I lost my grandparents to COVID last year. They were still waiting for their vaccines,” the actor tweeted. “I’m fortunate to have been double-vaccinated and boosted when I got COVID 2 weeks ago. Felt like a cold.”

He also urged the media to stop “spotlighting opinions that are not rooted in facts or science.”

Good for them! All those bros who came out for Chris Pratt when he got his feelings hurt need to look at how they are using their voices right now. I understand there may be some Marvel code or request to tamp down criticism, but if anyone goes back and reads what Evangeline wrote, she’s spreading misinformation in her statement. It’s not a different opinion, it was incorrect and Marvel, Disney, etc. should be concerned about that. Plus she’s thumbing her nose at them because Letitia Wright was welcomed back on set after her stance on vaccinations. Evangeline is vaccinated. Since she’s met the studio requirement, she thinks she’s free to go out and poison the rest of the world. Evangeline is pro-pandemic, a term I intend to start using when appropriate, because I refuse to make these people martyrs to their misguided anti-vaxx causes. They are doing nothing but actively working to prolong the pandemic.

But thank goodness Simu and David have enough backbone to say something. I’m not bothered they didn’t mention Evangeline by name. We know who prompted their comments. I understand where Simu is coming from by saying we shouldn’t spotlight these opinions but in this case, Evangeline posted this to her own IG. She has 2.2M followers. As David pointed out, that’s a big platform for a bunch of garbage information. I’m glad the media blasted her.

And don’t worry, we’ve already told my daughter that Janet is the one true Wasp, End of.
