Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania director Peyton Reed has revealed Cassie Lang aka Stature’s age in the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe threequel. In a recent interview, Reed confirmed that Scott Lang’s (Paul Rudd) daughter Cassie (Kathryn Newton) will be 18 years old in the film.

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania director opens up on Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang and Kathryn Newton’s Cassie Lang

In a chat with Nerdbunker, Reed was asked about his experience directing the Ant-Man movies and witnessing Paul Rudd’s character go through the changes that he does. Responding to this, he said that it was ‘gratifying’ to see how the audience is accepting Ant-Man’s journey. He further added that according to him, they relate to Scott because he is just another normal person, who finds himself caught up in the midst of fantastical adventures.

He was quoted saying, “But I think we've all grown and what we want to do with the movies and how we see the character, the family dynamics, to us, after the events of [Avengers: Infinity War] and Endgame, it really occurred to us, obviously, 'Well, Cassie's going to be 18 in this movie, that's great.'" The filmmaker also shared that the prevailing theme in the film is time, and how much time Scott has missed with his daughter. Scott’s main motivation, Reed shared, is just “’I want time with my daughter.’” He added, “And now he's coming into contact with a villain in this movie, Kang the Conqueror, who has dominion over time, and what does that mean to them?"

Kathryn Newton describes Cassie Lang as ‘a mess’

Apart from director Peyton Reed, Kathryn Newton, who will be seen playing Cassandra Lang in the upcoming Marvel Studios film also discussed her character in the recent past. While talking to Entertainment Tonight on a red-carpet event, Kathryn delved into the similarities she finds between her and her character. She shared that just like her Cassie is imperfect, impatient, and wants to be a hero even if she has no idea what she is doing. She further explained, “She's just trying to figure out how to be a good person and you know making a lot of mistakes. She's kind of a mess really, yeah, and so am I.”

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is the third film in the Ant-Man series following the 2015 movie Ant-Man and the 2018 release Ant-Man and the Wasp. It will kick off Phase 5 of the MCU.
