A CHILD star who featured in one of the highest-grossing superhero origin movies of all time thanks to a chance meeting has secured two more film roles for 2018.

Lilly Aspell, from Richmond, starred alongside Gal Gadot and Chris Pine as a young Wonder Woman in the blockbuster film released in June.

She has secured two more acting roles in 2018 in mystery tale Holmes and Watson and sci-fi thriller Extinction.

Lilly has returned from a two-month acting stint in Serbia for the latter, and is now getting job offers from America.

She said: “The best bit about filming has been working with other people and travelling the world with my mum.

“My friends have been very supportive. At first they didn’t believe me and it wasn’t until the film came out they took notice.”

Lilly was crowd spotted for her part as the eight-year-old Wonder Woman when she was having a day shopping with her family.

Her mother Donna said: “We were on Oxford Street in London when she was asked to audition for the role.

“It was amazing. The funny thing is she had no acting history apart from playing Mary in the nativity.

“I was sceptical at first. I didn’t know whether it was going to be legitimate and one year did pass before we knew that she got it.”

For Wonder Woman, they spent two months filming in London before moving to Italy for four months.

Mrs Aspell added: “Her filming schedule was very busy. It included dialect coaching, sword training alongside having a personal tutor to keep up with her schooling.”

Lilly is looking forward to the release of two films next year in which she makes an appearance.

Holmes and Watson is based on Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic mystery, where Will Ferrell plays Holmes and John C. Reilly stars as Watson.

Extinction details the tale of a planet being invaded and stars Lizzy Caplan and Mike Colter.

After taking up such an exciting lifestyle, Lilly wants to peruse a career in acting and has the full backing of her family.

“I have been open-minded because she is so desperate to do it,” said Mrs Aspell.

“It’s great to see her so happy. Both me and her father will continue to let her do whatever she wants.”
