HANNAH JOHN-KAMEN

Meet the Ant-Man and Thunderbolts star.

BY DAVID CROW

1 Born in 1989 in Yorkshire, England to Norwegian and Nigerian parents, Hannah JohnKamen plays Ava Starr, aka Ghost, in the MCU. Her character in Ant-Man and the Wasp developed the power to turn intangible in a quantum accident that also killed both of her parents.

2 She’s best known on TV for playing space bounty hunter Dutch on Canadian sci-fi series Killjoys, and appeared in two installments of Black Mirror. She played singer Selma Telse in “Fifteen Million Credits,” and journalist Sonja in gaming horror episode “Play Test.”

3 Speaking of Sonja, John-Kamen vacated the lead role in troubled sword-andsorcery reboot Red Sonja last year. Up next, she’s starring as a pregnant woman who’s plagued by “Redcaps” (nasty folkloric goblins) in horror film Unwelcome.

4 A trained singer and dancer, she has no regrets about her lead role in 2012’s Spice Girls jukebox musical Viva Forever!, one of London theater’s biggest flops. The show was panned and closed after just six months, but left the actor with plenty of fond memories.

5 After roles in film versions of Tomb Raider and Resident Evil, as well as Spielberg’s Ready Player One, JohnKamen may have carved out a niche in the gaming world, but she’s more a fan of classic Hollywood fare such as Some Like It Hot.
