She was in the first, but her role is greatly expanded in this one.

If you had said "wasp" instead of "Evangeline Lilly", you'd have been correct.

Greatly expanded? She had a ton of screen time in the first one. She's just moving into a Super Hero role for this one. She may have more screen time in this one, but she still had a lot of screen time in the first one.

Dude, you're nitpicking. I saw the first, i know she was in it, I know how much she was in it. I'm just giving the other poster a little bit of a break.

She's a title character now, she's involved in likely the majority of action fight sequences. Heck, she's more heavily involved in the marketing, and the promos leading up to the movie. It's greatly expanded. I love what people latch onto on the internet.

All I'm saying is that calling her role in this one, "Greatly," expanded is greatly exaggerated.

Yes, I'm sure she'll have a little more screen time in this one, but her role was pivotal in the first one. It's not like she had a small cameo role. She had probably the 2nd most screen time out of the entire cast in that movie!

Enjoy your Sunday spent googling screen time numbers.

The first time I saw it for some reason I didn't care for it. Rented it last week and really liked it the second time. I wasn't really excited for this until I saw the first one again. Agree it really is good and can't wait for this one. I may just go buy the blu.

AV Club also gave it a positive B rating noting it is a good catch your breath type film coming after Black Panther and Avengers: IW.

I just wish it was opening on the 4th of July but I will have to console myself with buying an advance ticket for the Saturday am XD showing (I wonder if I can once again choose the exact same seat, making it three movies in a row where I sat in the same seat).
