John-Kamen plays Ava, also known as the antagonist Ghost, who is looking for a cure to a disease caused in a scientific experiment gone wrong years earlier. When Michelle Pfeiffer’s Janet Van Dyne returns from the Quantum Realm after being lost for 30 years, instead of fighting Ava, she attempts to assuage her pain. For the younger actor, that scene was a landmark moment, as she grew up watching Pfieffer’s movies.
“She just gives so much. So much, that it was so easy to get there, to get to that place,” she tells Heat Vision of shooting that moment. “And that connection is really there. There’s a roar in her eyes, in my eyes. It was just kind of telepathic. It was definitely this presence that she carries when she comes on the set and when she’s in the role.”
