Due to Avengers: Endgame's five-year time-jump, Ant-Man and Ant-Man and The Wasp star Abby Ryder Fortson was replaced as Cassie Lang by Chicago Fire's Emma Fuhrmann.
Her role was a minor one, but the actress must have been riding high after starring in the biggest movie of all-time. It was clear that there were plans in place for an Ant-Man 3 - now titled Ant-Man: Quantumania - so Fuhrmann was no doubt excited to continue playing Cassie moving forward.
Surprisingly, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige confirmed that Detective Pikachu star Kathryn Newton will play Scott Lang's daughter in Peyton Reed's threequel. That shocked fans as it meant Fuhrmann had been replaced, and the actress has now reacted to that decision on social media.
"Just wanted to come on here & say that I see all your kind messages," she says. "Thank you for all your support. It has meant the world to me. I was as sad as you all were to hear the news Thursday. I can only hope that this means there is something else for me in the future of the MCU."
"I will always be grateful to have been a part of the MCU & the biggest movie of all time. Being an actress is still my #1 passion & I look forward to what the future holds."
Do you think Marvel Studios made the right choice by recasting Cassie Lang/Stature?

cosplayers with better costumes than the movies!
Emma Frost made her big screen debut in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but was given a leading role in X-Men: First Class. January Jones was certainly as scantily clad as her comic book counterpart in Matthew Vaughn's movie, but her costume...well, it wasn't really one, if we're being honest!
This take on the psychic's "Marvel NOW!" outfit will definitely be appreciated by some fans, though, and is way more in line with what they're used to seeing Emma wear in the comics. Whether it will ever make it to the big screen is another matter, but it definitely fits the former villain's personality.
Well, who would have guessed the Unstoppable Juggernaut could be brought to life with purely practical effects? Fox (unsuccessfully) tried that with X-Men: The Last Stand, and Vinnie Jones looked ridiculous. Deadpool 2, on the other hand, went the CGI route and the villain looked...okay.
The red colour scheme here is definitely appreciated, and it's easy to imagine this Juggernaut battling everyone from Spider-Man to Colossus on the big screen. You have to believe Kevin Feige will have some plans for this iconic baddie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but time will tell on that front.
Rogue was a focal point of the original X-Men trilogy, and was later cut from X-Men: Days of Future Past (don't worry, those scenes can still be found in the movie's "Rogue Cut"). As one of the world's most powerful mutants, her potential was never fully explored on screen, and that's a real shame.
When she does inevitably return, then we certainly hope Rogue is decked out in a costume as comic accurate as this one. Perfectly paying homage to the green and yellow colour scheme many fans feel is "classic" Rogue, it's not remotely unfair to say this is a million times better than what Fox did.
It's been a long time since Batgirl has been seen in live-action, and while Warner Bros. is supposedly developing some sort of feature film starring the character, who knows what's going on with that (the last real update we heard was that Michael Keaton's Batman would serve as a mentor to her).
When the character does return to the big screen, here's hoping that she dons an awesome, colourful costume like this. Perfectly paying homage to the source material, it perfectly suits a hero like Barbara Gordon, and is way better than what we saw all those years ago in Batman & Robin!
Of course, it's entirely possible that Warner Bros. plans to stick to the same aesthetic introduced in movies like Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. If that's the case, when Robin finally makes his DC Extended Universe debut, a costume like this would definitely work in live-action.
If there's even a slim chance that we'll get to see Robin's death at the hands of Jared Leto's Joker in Zack Snyder's Justice League, it would be beyond amazing to see him donning a suit like this one. There's some colour in there, but it's easy to picture him fighting crime alongside Ben Affleck's Batman.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 introduced "Felicia," and well, she never got a costume (making this impressive effort automatically better). At this stage, there's no indication that Black Cat is set to appear in Spider-Man 3 or even her own solo outing after the Silver & Black fell apart.
When it does happen, it would be incredible seeing a costume as good as this one. While we would definitely anticipate some practical changes, keeping it simple and sticking to the comic books would be the smartest possible move, as this incredible cosplay most definitely proves to the case.
Captain Marvel's costumes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe have been fine, but they're a little busy (and oddly "armoured" looking for one of this shared world's most powerful characters). This simplified, slightly more colourful, version is a big improvement and more in line with the comics.
The sash is obviously appreciated, and it's not hard to imagine a look like this one perfectly suiting Brie Larson. While some fans remain fixated on that classic Ms. Marvel costume, Captain Marvel is here to say, and we definitely wouldn't be against something along these lines making it into the sequel.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe's version of Spider-Man looks spectacular for the most part, and if Tom Holland does eventually get to don his black suit, then it will hopefully be an improvement on Spider-Man 3. That effort definitely underwhelmed, and simply didn't do the source material justice.
This version, however, looks phenomenal. Interestingly, it looks more like a practical suit than a "symbiote," but remember that Peter Parker has donned a regular version of his black costume on countless occasions since then. If and when that happens, it will struggle to be as good as this take!
Elektra has made two big screen appearances (in Daredevil and her own solo movie), and later joined the rest of Marvel Television's Defenders on Netflix. Unfortunately, the character never really looked how fans hoped, despite both versions paying homage to the comic books to at least an extent.
This cosplay, however, is truly out of this world. It literally looks like Elektra has been torn out of the pages of the comics and brought directly into our world. It's unclear whether Kevin Feige has any interest in this assassin - or the Man Without Fear - but it will take a lot of work to top this epic effort.
Halle Berry and Alexandra Shipp did the best they could with the material they were given in their respective X-Men movies, but neither version of Storm ever really resonated with fans of the character. At least part of that was because of the bland, uninspired costumes she so often wore on screen.
Well, this cosplay proves that what we've seen on the page could work because this is a pitch perfect take on Ororo Monroe that makes it clear she's both a powerhouse, and X-Men royalty. This character is almost certainly a priority for Marvel Studios, but time will tell how soon we get to see her in action...
