ANT-MAN AND THE WASP: QUANTUMANIA Star Kathryn Newton Says Cassie Lang Is "Kind of a Mess"
Marvel sequel Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is headed our way, and one big change to the roster is newcomer Kathryn Newton, who is playing a teenaged version of Scott Lang/Ant-Man (Paul Rudd)’s daughter, Cassie Lang.
Cassie has always been a curious and smart kid, and we could tell from the first trailer for the movie that she has jumped right in to the family business of quantum science and crime-fighting. Now she is a teenager on top of all the complications of their unique position, and Newton has talked a bit about her take on the character.
In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Newton explained:
"That I'm really not perfect and I'm super impatient and I want to be a hero but I have no idea what I'm doing and I think Cassie Lang is like that. She's just trying to figure out how to be a good person and you know making a lot of mistakes. She's kind of a mess really, yeah, and so am I. You're definitely gonna see some of that. Oh, my good heart."
It certainly looks as though Cassie is going to cause some trouble in this upcoming movie as her dad jumps in after her when she accidentally gets sucked into the quantum realm.
The heroes of the story, which also includes Hope van Dyne's Wasp (Evangeline Lilly), Janet Pym (Michelle Pfeiffer), and Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) will be facing off with an extremely dangerous villain, Kang the Conqueror (Jonathan Majors).
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is currently scheduled to be released on February 17, 2023.
