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 ...
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.
She's now in her teenage years and following in her father's footsteps by harnessing size-changing technology and becoming a member of Ant-Man's superhero team, along with Scott Lang himself and Hope Van Dyne as the Wasp.
Abby probably became best known for her comically touching scene stealing performances as Cassie Lang opposite Paul Rudd , AntMan's daughter in the Marvel's blockbuster films, Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018) and Ant-Man (2015) directed by Peyton Reed .

Is Hope Ant-Man's Daughter?
Hope's relationship with her father Hank Pym became distant after her mother Janet van Dyne was lost in a subatomic spacial void called the Quantum Realm. Instead of comforting his seven year old daughter, Pym became lost in his own grief and sent her away to boarding school.
By the time of 2019's Avengers: Endgame, which followed a five-year gap in the MCU timeline, Cassie was played by Emma Fuhrmann as a teenager. 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.
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.
The fact that Cassie Lang is 18 years old in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania further explains some of her life. There is no appearance by her mother or stepfather, so it is possible that Cassie has now moved out - even though she mentions that no one can afford rent right now.
As Quantumania continues, Kang confirms he was exiled to the Quantum Realm by none other than himself - variants of Kang whom the film's Conqueror claims feared him and chose to imprison him in the subatomic universe outside of time and space.
Ant-Man. Margaret Lang is the former wife of Scott Lang, they both have a daughter named Cassie. After VistaCorp incident and the subsequent arrest of Lang, Maggie decided to divorce him to give a quieter life to her daughter. While Lang was serving his sentence, she engaged with a police officer, Jim Paxton.
In Quantumania, Cassie will finally become a superhero, gaining her abilities as Stature and joining Scott, Hope, and the rest in their battle against Kang.
Throughout the many years that her father worked with the Fantastic Four and the Avengers, Cassie Lang was subjecting herself to massive amounts of Pym Particle radiation. The radiation slowly gave her the powers that Hank Pym, Janet Van Dyne, and even her own father, Scott Lang, used a suit to perform.
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).
Each character has a main color and style that is associated with them. For instance, Cassie wears baby blue and pink signifying how she has a naive innocence about her, while Kat changed from simple denim to a red leather dominatrix as she tries to break away from being the quiet, shy pushover.
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.
Cassie Lang was born to Maggie and Scott Lang in July 2008. Her father was a petty thief who vowed to quit his life of crime when his daughter was born.
Throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Janet van Dyne is portrayed by Michelle Pfeiffer and is introduced as the wife of Hank Pym and mother to Van Dyne in Ant-Man (2015) and was presumed dead after she shrunk to subatomic level to stop a nuclear missile, becoming trapped in the Quantum Realm.
Since Scott had used Hank's complex technology, the Pym particles, Hank and Hope were held responsible for Scott's actions and became fugitives on the run. Both were angry at his betrayal, and Hope was particularly angry that Scott didn't ask her to help, stating that he wouldn't have gotten caught if she was there.
After being exposed to chemicals in a laboratory accident, he has a mental breakdown. He adopts the alias Yellowjacket and, exhibiting an uncharacteristic boldness, proposes marriage to van Dyne. The two promptly marry.
You've also got to drink his ooze to understand what everyone's saying down there, naturally. And while he might be a little oozy pink blob of a being, if Veb sounds familiar it's because he's actually played by a long-time member of the Ant-Man films, David Dastmalchian.
Specifically, it looks like Disney made the decision to have gay imagery removed from Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania in an effort to keep the film from getting banned in Kuwait.
Summary. The Council of Kangs, introduced in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, is likely connected to Loki season 2 and will play a key role in upcoming crossover events. The death of He Who Remains in Loki season 1 triggered chaos in the multiverse, leading to the creation of the Council of Kangs.
