However, Cassie Lang was recast yet again for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Released in 2023, Quantumania introduced Kathryn Newton as an 18-year-old Cassie Lang. Considering the character has been recast multiple times, it could have ramifications for the MCU moving forward.
Subtly explaining the recast, Reed noted that he wanted someone "who could really hang with Paul Rudd and sort of not be left in the dust," mentioning that whoever performed as Cassie needed to be "sharp, and quick, and funny." He also praised Newton's athletic ability, referencing her world-class golfing and reasoning ...
Significantly, Kang does not win at the end of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Marvel Studios did the unexpected and killed off Kang the Conqueror, for now. Fueled by his love for Cassie and the anger from Kang threatening her, Paul Rudd's Scott Lang was able to ensure their mutual defeat.
Cassie was one of the 50% of people who survived the Blip by Thanos' snap. In the five years following the Blip, she grew up under the assumption that her father had also fallen victim to the snap, not knowing that he had been trapped in the Quantum Realm.
Summary. Kang the Conqueror was exiled to the MCU Quantum Realm by his own variants in the Council of Kangs due to his attempts to eradicate them and become the sole Kang in the multiverse.
Kang's noble tendencies, even though he was a merciless killer, have consistently forced him into a losing position. His first loss in Quantumania came from the dynasty when he was exiled to the Quantum Realm. He was too open with his actions and beliefs because the needs of the many outweighed the needs of the few.
Why is Cassie different in endgame and Quantumania?
Marvel Studios recast Cassie Lang for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, choosing Kathryn Newton for a bigger and more recognizable star in the role. The decision to recast Cassie Lang was not unusual, as Marvel has recast other characters in the past, such as Bruce Banner and James Rhodey.
Cassandra "Cassie" Lang appears in films set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). She first appears as a child in the films Ant-Man (2015) and Ant-Man and the Wasp, portrayed by Abby Ryder Fortson. She later appears as a teenager in Avengers: Endgame, portrayed by Emma Fuhrmann.
Prior to his appearance in Quantumania, though, Majors made his MCU debut in the Season 1 finale of Loki, playing one (of many) variants of his villain Kang the Conqueror named He Who Remains.
The Quantumania end-credits scene introducing Immortus, Rama-Tut and Scarlet Centurion also effectively reveals the Council of Kangs, though that name is never used. In the comics, the Council of Kangs is led by Prime Kang, who tricked Immortus into eliminating all other variants of Kang across the multiverse.
In the final fight, Kang says that he knows how the multiverse ends and if he does not reach the surface world, something terrible will happen. He vaguely alludes to the other Kang variants doing something bad.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe introduced audiences to Scott Lang and his daughter, Cassie Lang, in 2015's Ant-Man. Abby Ryder Fortson was the original Cassie Lang, being eight years old in the film.
Pym Particles: Cassie was born as a normal human without any superpowers, but through intentional, repeated exposure to Pym Particles, she gained the following abilities: Size Reduction: Cassie possessed the power to reduce herself to the size of an ant, approximately one-half inch in height.
While it's unknown what happened to Luis, Dave, and Kurt after Thanos' snap at the end of Avengers: Infinity War, Luis' van did survive intact. The van, which was outfitted with Hank Pym's quantum tunnel, was also significant in Avengers: Endgame.
There are touches added in—like Cassie calling Hank "Grandpa"—that help to illustrate how close this family has grown in the time since we last met them.
Granted, Hope (Lilly) isn't referred to as Cassie's (Kathryn Newton) stepmom, and Hope and Scott (Paul Rudd) aren't officially married, as far as we know.
Cassie Lang's DOB is in July 2007. in Ant-Man, she is, 2015 - 2007 = 8 years old in Ant-Man and the Wasp, she is, 2018 - 2007 = 10 to 11 years old. in Avengers: Endgame, she is, 2023 - 2007 = 16 years old. Adding to that, 10 in Ant-Man and the Wasp, specifically said and it's before her birthday in 2018.
Evangeline Lilly portrays a different version of the character, Hope van Dyne, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Ant-Man (2015) and appears as the successor of the Wasp in the films Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018), Avengers: Endgame (2019), and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023).
MODOK (also written as M.O.D.O.K.; an acronym for Mental / Mobile / Mechanized Organism Designed Only for Killing) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
They did in fact try to play MODOK off as pure comic relief in the film, dramatically altering his origin story so he's a Kang-rescued version of Yellowjacket from the first Ant-Man film, and his arms and legs (and butt, as the movie shows) were shrunk as he descended into the Quantum Realm, but his face remained large ...
Disabling his suit could potentially strip him of his technological powers and weaken him. Ant-Man has already shown the ability to sabotage technologically-advanced suits like he did with Falcon and Iron Man in previous movies. This could be a key advantage in defeating Kang.
Formerly Darren Cross (Corey Stoll), MODOK worked for Kang during his time in the Quantum Realm, but was convinced to betray the conqueror by Cassie Lang. In his heroic redemption, MODOK helped orchestrate Kang's fall from power, but was mortally injured in the process.
