Kathryn Newton said she “always wanted to be a Marvel superhero.”
At the official press conference for Quantumania, moderator Randall Park (who stars as Agent Jimmy Woo in the MCU) asked Kathryn how long she’s craved playing a superhero, to which she replied, “Since the first time I saw a Marvel movie, I always wanted to be a Marvel superhero.”
“I really wanted to be part of this, because it made me dream. I went with my dad to the theaters, and I just wanted to be a superhero,” Kathryn added. “And it’s funny because I told myself that I always wanted to be the biggest Marvel superhero of all time. And I think it’s ironic that Cassie Lang grows 40 feet. So I’m proof that your dreams come true, ’cause mine did.”

When asked by Rachel Leishman of The Mary Sue what her favorite part of bringing Cassie’s morals and desire to help people to life was, Kathryn responded, “she has a really good heart and that’s my favorite thing about Cassie. She definitely leads with her heart.” She added that even though Cassie is incredibly smart, “I don’t think she thinks too much about what she’s doing. She just wants to do the right thing. And it makes her really impatient and a lot like me.”
“And that makes her kind of a mess and make mistakes. But she just wants to be like her dad, you know? She thinks her dad’s the greatest. But she will never tell him that, obviously,” Kathryn continued. “So, it was great to try and exercise both of those. And my favorite thing is that she’s a regular person just like her dad. She’s still figuring it out, just like me.”
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is now in theaters.
