Evangeline Lilly, known for her roles in ‘Lost’ and as the Wasp in the ‘Ant-Man’ movies, has announced she’s taking a break from acting for the foreseeable future.

Actress Evangeline Lilly, known for playing the superhero Hope van Dyne in several Marvel movies, recently revealed in a post on Substack that she collapsed and hit a rock while at the beach. She explained she’s experienced similar blackouts before, but doctors haven’t been able to find a cause.

Okay, so the actress just posted a video, and honestly, it was a surprisingly vulnerable moment. She joked—but also seemed genuinely concerned—that her recent forgetfulness isn’t just due to the changes she’s going through with peri-menopause. It’s a relief to know there’s a reason, but she also admitted it’s a little scary realizing how much work it’s going to take to get her brain back on track. It’s a really honest look at dealing with cognitive issues, and I appreciated her willingness to share that.

Lilly explained in a video that she’s working with doctors to understand a health issue and then focus on recovery, which she anticipates will be challenging, as she feels she’s constantly working hard. She expressed deep gratitude for the chance to continue living and playing on Earth, and thanked everyone for their support.
