Evangeline Lilly may be facing some major struggles heading into 2026. The Ant-Man actress gives fans a shocking update on her health following an accident.
Evangeline Lilly was out of the limelight for most of 2025. This was primarily because the actress announced that she would be retiring from acting back in 2024 following the release of Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania to focus on her humanitarian work, leaving her mostly outside of the usual entertainment news cycle.
The actress did briefly reappear in the news last May. Evangeline Lilly has previously been open about her frequent fainting spells. During a trip to Hawaii last year, she passed out, causing her to hit her head on a boulder. While at the time she managed to walk away only with a concussion and a few physical injuries, it seems things have only gotten worse with time.

In her statement, Evangeline Lilly did not reveal details about any future career plans following this health update. It’s more likely than not that the actress remains in retirement following her role in the Ant-Man franchise, continuing her humanitarian work as she consults with doctors for the next steps following her diagnosis.
