Avengers 4 is hidden behind a veil of secrecy. That’s hardly surprising given that the Avengers: Infinity War directors were handing out fake scripts, but, occasionally, a crack begins to emerge and some tantalising information falls into our lap. That was the case with a seemingly innocuous Avengers 4 casting announcement – and it could be our biggest clue yet as to what the movie is about.
The Hashtag Show has confirmed, via their sources, that actress Emma Fuhrmann will play an older version of Cassie Lang, Scott Lang’s daughter. Having been seen as a young child, played by Abby Ryder Fortson, in Ant-Man and, latterly, due to appear in Ant-Man and the Wasp, the character seems to age six years (going by the actresses’ ages) between movies. Hmm…
However, there have been rumours aplenty about time travel, Time Stones, and alternate dimensions. It wouldn’t be beyond the realms of possibility for a much older Cassie Lang to appear in a different timeline where Thanos hasn’t, y’know, killed half the planet, nor would it be a shock to have someone travel through time and come across Cassie Lang (or have Cassie jump back in time).
Cassie Lang, if you know the comics, was one of the key members of the Young Avengers so, at the very least, this could be setting up that by casting an older actress. But it could also be one of the main reasons Avengers 4 hasn’t had its title revealed yet.
If we’re getting a massive time jump, lots of time travel, Young Avengers, or a sprinkling of alternate dimensions, then that would be a helluva lot to take in before Infinity War is here. This casting could be nothing... or it could be everything; that’s what makes it so exciting.
