ANT-MAN 3 Star Kathryn Newton On Cassie Lang's MCU Future And Potential YOUNG AVENGERS Movie

In a new interview, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania actress Kathryn Newton comments on Cassie Lang's MCU future and the "Young Avengers" tease from the final scene of The Marvels...

After previously being played by both Abby Ryder Fortson in the first two Ant-Man movies and Emma Fuhrmann in Avengers: Endgame, Kathryn Newton (Freaky) took over as Scott Lang's daughter, Cassie, in the recent Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.

In Peyton Reed's threequel, Cassie donned an "Ant-Man" suit of her own, fighting alongside her father as Stature (though she doesn't officially take the name in the movie). Then, in The Marvels' pre-credits scene, we see Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) recruiting Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld) for a new team.

After (presumably) convincing the archer to join the "Young Avengers," Khan implies that Cassie is next on her list with, "did you know Ant-Man has a daughter?"

The Young Avengers (assuming that's the name they go with) project still hasn't been officially announced, but The Marvels ending clearly suggests that something is in the works. While chatting to Screen Rant at the Sundance Film Festival, Newton was asked about her character's MCU future. She remained tight-lipped about any potential Young Avengers plans, but did say she would like to see Cassie "on a team."

"I’d like to see her on a team. I feel like for me when I was in high school on my golf team, championship ring right here, I was obsessed with being number one. I wanted to be the team captain, and my coach was like, No captain, that’s not how we do it here. We’re all equal, and be on a team and win and lose together. So I feel like that’s something that everyone can relate to, is having to be together on the team on the rise and be together in trenches. So, I’d like to see some more of that."

Newton has several movies on the horizon, including Lisa Frankenstein, Winner, and Abigail, which you can check out the trailer for below.

Super-Hero partners Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) and Hope van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) return to continue their adventures as Ant-Man and the Wasp. Together, with Hope’s parents Janet van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer) and Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), and Scott’s daughter Cassie Lang (Kathryn Newton), the family finds themselves exploring the Quantum Realm, interacting with strange new creatures and embarking on an adventure that will push them beyond the limits of what they thought possible.

Directed by Peyton Reed and produced by Kevin Feige and Stephen Broussard, Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania also stars Jonathan Majors as Kang, David Dastmalchian as Veb, Katy O'Brian as Jentorra, William Jackson Harper as Quaz and Bill Murray as Lord Krylar.

The MCU threequel is now available to stream on Disney+.

I dont think she is going to be in many Marvel films, at least in big roles, since Marvel has noticed that it's smarter to try and do films about characters that people care about. I am sure if "The Marvels" wouldn't have been a giant bomb,there might had been more chances for this character.

@Beer85 - her and Kamala will probably be relegated to Hawkeye type roles. They might try to still Push Kamala since Iman fun to watch

@Beer85 - bare minimum she's got another movie coming.

This young Avengers movies better be a Disney+ show or movie, or else it ain't making money. You can bet on that

@bobevanz -
I'm not sure it'd work as a Disney+ show as we don't really have development of a majority of the characters prior so it's likely few would tune in, though it'd definitely lose them less money if they had it on Disney+ instead of a film.

I'd rather have Strange Academy than Young Avengers

Yes, I can't wait to see another movie with her b!tching to characters we actually care about that saved the universe since they "haven't done enough" since then 🙄

A painfully boring performance she gave

Self righteous Cassie was a head scratcher and easily the worst part of the movie

Good actress, awful in Ant-Man 3... but then so was everyone (Michelle Pfeiffer innocent).

@MarkCassidy - Actualy felt Majors did a decent job with what he was given but otherwise, yeh, even actors I normaly consider good were meh so if down to just a bad script/direction with a good one she could still do well with the role. Needs a strong script and solid storyline obviously but writing off a character when the issues are not of the actors making is oft questionable although can impact the BO draw for their next appearance.

@MarkCassidy - Majors was good and I don't see how Rudd was any different from his other portrayals as Ant-Man.

Kathryn, I love ya but you easily could have dodged out of playing Cassie. However, I'm glad she's going all in with horror roles (Lisa Frankenstein, Abagail).

She was great in Freaky... not so much in Antman 3. Man, what a disappointment that movie was for me... i had high hopes

@MotherGooseUPus - Honestly with the amount of horror roles she's known for, they severely miscasted her. Like unironically, she should have been Lilith or Satana.

I didn't iked her in Antman 3. Boring character.

So far, the best Young Avenger character I like is Kate Bishop.

"The Young Avengers" Earth's Most Powerful, Smartest, Most Unflawed Group Of Superheroes.

This movie will break box office records!

I imagine she'll show up in Avengers 5, 6, 7 and probably in Young Avengers if that happens. I don't think we'll get an Ant-Man 4 and I think they'll reboot rather than explore her through another film or series.

She gave a boring performance in a forgettable movie that was a box office bomb.

Bring Emma Fuhrmann back! That was totally unnecessary re-casting and it didn't work out.

I don't know why they gave this role to her over the previous actress. I honestly don't understand Kathryn Newton's marketability at all. She really is not good and not enjoyable to watch in anything.

Another annoying teenage girl who knows everything.Stick them all in a movie together so they can praise each other how great they are.

We will maybe see her in a few scenes in Avengers 5 & 6, there will be no Avengers 7.
There will also not be a Young Avengers movie or show, there is not enough interest for this.

No... just no... Her rubbish acting + corny lines made Quantumania is groan-fest for me.
