On Tuesday, the 44-year-old Hollywood veteran commented on Instagram about her departure from show business.
“I’m so full of joy and fulfillment today as I live out my vision,” wrote the brunette star, who opened up about her Ant-Man co-star Michael Douglas earlier this year.

Evangeline said: “When we first came into the universe, it was set with Black Widow, Iron Man, Captain America and all the original gangsters. And we were like these new kids on the block trying to earn our stripes.

Lilly previously revealed that she had a lot of input into the film’s script.
She said: ‘I have a lot of opinions and I would love to share them and I would love to give you my opinion on all of this.
