Cassie Lang took another step towards a heroic destiny in Hank Pym), Cassie has helped protect the world ever since.
The character made her MCU debut in Ant-Man and The Wasp. The latter, however, culminated with Scott trapped in the Quantum Realm. It would be five years before he was able to make a miraculous escape and return to the world. Scott wasted little time in discovering that he was believed dead but that his daughter had been one of the few to survive. As Scott was reunited with her, she had understandably been aged up and was played by Emma Fuhrmann. The move seemed to serve as another piece in the puzzle towards assembling the popular Young Avengers team in Phase 4.
That fact would indeed make sense. After all, Fortson's iteration repeatedly expressed an interest in Scott's seeming death.
The surprising development could be ed by the fact that nothing is known about Cassie's life between survive the snap, her grief over Scott alone could've seen her grow more rebellious and further alienated from them — to similar consequences. And she could've done so under her other comic book name: the more villainous-sounding Stinger.
It would certainly be a more interesting angle than merely following through on her being a straight-forward hero. A father having to reckon with his daughter's choices in his absence would be a rich metaphor to explore through a superhero lens. It would also add some serious personal stakes, as he battles to bring her back from the brink and anything she's gotten mixed up in. It would certainly tie her into the MCU villains of recent years being more understandable and even sympathetic. Equally, it would make any eventual turn into Stature even more meaningful — with Cassie, like Scott and others, having something from the past to make up for. As such, there is a wealth of potential set up in Avengers: Endgame that could be paid of in Ant-Man 3. By making her a villain, they would have an interesting story and potentially make Cassie Lang a more nuanced hero.
