Last year a casting call went out for Marvel's Ant-Man that indicated they were looking for a young girl to play a pretty important supporting role in the film. This lead many to assume that the movie was going to focus on Scott Lang and his daughter Cassie instead of Hank Pym as the first Ant-Man. Well, a year later and we have our Scott Lang in Paul Rudd with Michael Douglas playing Hank Pym. But what about Cassie Lang?
Director Peyton Reed (who has taken over for director Edgar Wright) reveals to ScreenRant that Cassie Lang will indeed be in his film stating at this years Comic-Con. "in the comics Scott Lang has a daughter, and that's part of the movie too." Which makes sense given you can't have a Scott Lang origin story without Cassie.
Now that production on Ant-Man begun earlier this week Marvel released the remaining cast online and revealed that up-and-coming actress Abby Ryder Fortson (Above) has also joined the cast. It would lead many to assume her secret role could indeed end up being a young Cassie Lang.
