With Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania set to premiere in a week, fans are especially excited to see Kathryn Newton’s Cassie Lang. The film will mark the first time that a teenage Cassie has appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in a lead role, as well as the first time she will officially suit up as her alter-ego, Stature. In previous installments in the Ant-Man film series, Lang has appeared as a 6-to-8-year-old, portrayed by Abby Ryder Fortson. A teenage version of Cassie did appear in Avengers: Endgame, but only as a cameo played by Emma Furhmann.

So, it is quite exciting that Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania will finally see Cassie up front and center, as a teenage version of the character who delves into the world of heroism with her father. Many are hoping that the film is building up to explore some of Cassie’s adventures as the hero Stature with the Young Avengers. While she is certainly known for being Ant-Man’s daughter in Marvel Comics, she does lead most of her superhero life apart from her father. Her childhood also plays out a bit differently from what we’ve seen so far. She also actually has a very interesting connection with Kang the Conqueror in the comics.
