It seems American actress Kathryn Newton found the process of making Abigail much more challenging than co-starring in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania as Scott Lang's daughter, Cassie Lang.

In a new international interview with CinePOP, Newton stated that playing Cassie in Quantumania was, "the easiest role of her life.'

When asked which film was easier to make, Newton explained, "I think the Marvel movie, actually. But I don't know... This was, physically, actually harder than Ant-Man. Ant-Man was the easiest job of my life. It was really fun... And this one was just as fun, but it was different."

"We had a real set, we had real props, real people. So whatever inspiration you get is from what's happening right in front of you and I didn't have to make it up, there was no green screen. And that was much more freeing than I was prepared for."

In Abigail, Newton plays a wealthy hacker named Sammy, who's been lured into participating in a kidnapping that goes horribly wrong when it's revealed that their target is actually a vampire.

While another Ant-Man movie seems unlikely given the box office performance of Quantumania, it seems the MCU has been gearing up for a Young Avengers/Avengers Academy film for quite some time.

However, who knows if those teases will ever have a payoff in the wake of Disney CEO Bob Iger's recent comments that the company would be reducing its Marvel (and Star Wars) output and only focusing on the IPs that are popular.

It's likely that Cassie will show up in the next Avengers film if the focus is still on Kang the Conqueror in the wake of Marvel's firing of Jonathan Majors. There are conflicting reports that Kang will be replaced as the 'big bad' of the Multiverse Saga or that the role will simply be recast.

Stay tuned for future updates as Marvel's decision on how to handle the Kang controversy will likely impact the next time we see the Lang family and how big of a role they'll play in the next two-part Avengers film.

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania Synopsis: In the film, which officially kicks off phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, 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 Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) and Janet Van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer), 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 was possible. Jonathan Majors joins the adventure as Kang. Director Peyton Reed returns to direct the film; Kevin Feige and Stephen Broussard produce.

I know some didn’t like her performance in Quantumania but I thought she did well with the material & direction she had…

Then again , I found the movie itself to be decent so maybe it’s just me lol (though there was definitely potential for a better one there).

Interested to see her interact with fellow Young Avengers in the future if/when that happens especially the likes of Kamala or Kate.

@TheVisionary25 - yeah, I think she held up well as the second lead in this movie. Think they should've titled it Ant-Man and The Stinger or Stature though

TheVisionary25 - 4/22/2024, 4:15 PM
@bkmeijer1 - yeah

Shouldn’t have been Ant Man & The Wasp

Ploys I think here coming back to save her dad would have been stronger then Hope.

@TheVisionary25 - "Then again , I found the movie itself to be decent so maybe it’s just me lol (though there was definitely potential for a better one there)." Nope it wasn't just you. I basically felt the same way about the film. No doubt definitely room for improvement, but I enjoyed it for what it was.

Just stand in front of a screen and backgrounds are added later. Very easy.

Even she is over the MCU I hope this is the all time low

Oh for sure! I mean she puts zero effort delivering her lines, it sounded like a high school dialogue reading or something. One of the worst parts about Quantumania.

Quantumania is not the worst and not the best in MCU. But probably suffered for not bring any new elements to the table in the middle of a superhero fatigue...

@cadunovaes01 - comments from people desperate to defend the MCU have stopped being funny, now they are just very sad

@JuanRGuijarro - I think its pretty obvious that MCU dropped hard the ball in their last projects. But sometimes, in my opinion, I think that some people overreacted too much about it

Well yeah.. all she had to do was act around tennis balls and green screen in Quantumania lol

Best parts of Antman 1 & 2 was Scotts chemistry with Cassie, after they aged her up it hasnt been the same..

They should have kept Emma Fuhrmann who showed more range and emotion in one scene than Kathryn Newton showed that entire film.

When you have a team of stunt doubles along with green screen and CGI, it's obvious which one would be easier!
