Marvel star Evangeline Lilly calls COVID-19 vaccine mandates 'not safe' and reveals she attended a protest to 'support bodily sovereignty' in DC

• Evangeline Lilly called COVID-19 vaccine mandates "not safe" and "not healthy" in an Instagram post.
• The "Ant-Man" actress also attended a protest to "support bodily sovereignty" in Washington DC.

Evangeline Lilly called the push for COVID-19 vaccine mandates "not safe" and revealed she went to Washington DC to attend a protest to "support bodily sovereignty" in an Instagram post.

"I believe nobody should ever be forced to inject their body with anything, against their will ... under any threat whatsoever," the "Ant-Man and the Wasp" actress wrote.

"This is not the way. This is not safe. This is not healthy. This is not love. I understand the world is in fear, but I don't believe that answering fear with force will fix our problems," she continued.

"I was pro-choice before COVID and I am still pro-choice today," she said.

Lilly, who is known for playing Kate Austen in the hit early 2000s series "Lost" and now plays Marvel character Hope Van Dyne, aka Wasp, in the "Ant-Man" movies, made headlines in March 2020 when she announced she would not be social distancing at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Entertainment Tonight reported at the time.

Days later she posted an apology.

"I want to offer my sincere and heartfelt apology for the insensitivity I showed in my previous post to the very real suffering and fear that has gripped the world through COVID19," Lilly wrote, in part. " Grandparents, parents, children, sisters and brothers are dying, the world is rallying to find a way to stop this very real threat, and my ensuing silence has sent a dismissive, arrogant and cryptic message... When I wrote that post 10 days ago, I thought I was infusing calm into the hysteria. I can see now that I was projecting my own fears into an already fearful and traumatic situation."

Lilly is not the only Marvel actor who has spoken out about their anti-vaxxination views.

In December, "Black Panther" star Letitia Wright shared a YouTube video via her Twitter account that questioned the safety of a potential COVID-19 vaccine.

She followed up with a tweet saying she was not trying to "hurt anyone" and posted the video because it raised her "concerns with what the vaccine contains and what we are putting in our bodies."

Wright has since deactivated her Twitter and Instagram accounts.
