Evangeline Lilly claims a “Lost” stunt coordinator punished her for wanting to do her own stunts on set.
The actress, 38, who starred on the hit series from 2004 to 2010, sat down with the Stuntwomen in Hollywood panel in Los Angeles Friday morning with her stunt double, Ingrid Kleinig, for the upcoming Marvel flick “Ant-Man and the Wasp”.

Lilly said the coordinator got angry with her after she insisted on doing her own stunts in lieu of hiring a stuntwoman.
“I felt it was him saying, ‘I’m going to put you in your place for standing up to me,’” she said. “It was either cow to his power or hurt myself. I was in my 20s then. Now, I would probably back down.”
Lilly said she asked to have moleskin – a light fabric used to prevent cuts and scrapes – wrapped around her forearms, but the coordinator refused.

“There were open wounds, pus-y and oozing,” she told an audience during the Fox panel. “I looked like a mutant. My mom said, ‘You’ll never be able to wear an evening gown again.'”
“Ant-Man and the Wasp” hits theatres July 15.
