The Marvel Cinematic Universe's oldest WandaVision are just a few examples of how the young heroes have become to populate the MCU. A Young Avengers movie or show might not be officially announced at this point, but Marvel Studios is finally on the precipice of paying off their oldest tease of the new Avengers team.
Years before Hailee Steinfeld's Kate Bishop and others ed the MCU, first Ant-Man 3 trailer confirmed that the movie will finally give Cassie a chance to become a superhero, likely either Stinger or Stature, and wear a purple suit. She is one of the earliest Young Avengers in the comics and will certainly be part of the MCU's lineup. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania making her a superhero pays off a tease of this transformation over seven years after her introduction.
Every Way The MCU Has Set Up Cassie Lang’s Superhero Future
Cassie Lang's superhero upgrade in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania has been a long time coming, as Marvel has been laying the groundwork for this transformation for years. The most direct tease of Ant-Man and the Wasp when she talked to Scott about needing a partner. While Scott mistook the line to be about Hope van Dyne, Cassie clarified that she wants to be her father's crime-fighting partner, so they can do good together. It was a direct tease by Marvel that Cassie Lang would be a superhero and one day begin her path to ing the Young Avengers.
Marvel further set up Cassie Lang to become a Marvel superhero once it was announced that Kathryn Newton was taking over the role for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. After casting Emma Fuhrmann in Avengers: Endgame, many were surprised to see Marvel recast Cassie Lang again. Kathryn Newton is a much more established actress and rising star thanks to roles in Freaky and Pokémon: Detective Pikachu. Marvel's interest in casting a bigger name in the role was a clear sign of Cassie Lang's superhero transformation. Now, Kathryn Newton could help lead a future Young Avengers project.
Will The Young Avengers Assemble In Ant-Man 3?
Cassie Lang's prominent role in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania creates the possibility for the Young Avengers to form. The movie featuring Kang the Conqueror (Jonathan Majors) as the villain might this possibility, as Kang is one of the team's earliest villains in the comics. This is due to a younger Nathanial Richards becoming Iron Lad and helping create the Young Avengers, which is not certain to happen in the MCU. It is most likely that the Young Avengers will not be in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, but the movie could possibly include Cassie Lang meeting Kate Bishop or another future member to tease that possibility.
