Kathryn Newton has joined the ever-growing Marvel family!
The 23-year-old Big Little Lies actress will star in the upcoming third Ant-Man film, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
Kathryn will play Cassie Lang, who according to Deadline, is “the daughter of Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang and she has the same powers as her father: the ability to shrink and grow in size. She did get her powers long after her first exposure to Pym Particles. She has the superhero alias Stature.”
Her casting was announced during the 2020 The Walt Disney Company Investor Day, and she joins returning cast members Paul, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Douglas, and Michelle Pfeiffer, as well as well as fellow new cast member Jonathan Majors as Kang the Conqueror.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania will be directed by Peyton Reed, who also directed the first two Ant-Man films.
