Of the many Marvel Studios projects presented during Saturday’s Hall H presentation at San Diego Comic-Con, Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania was one to make quite the impression, giving those in attendance their first look at Jonathon Majors as Kang the Conqueror. Alongside Kang, however, was the first look at Kathryn Newton as Cassie Lang, making her Marvel Cinematic Universe debut.
The first footage shown to attendees in Hall H revealed that Newton’s Cassie Lang isn’t in the Quantum Realm. She’s actually in Jail. Of course, not much context was given as the film isn’t out until next year. But Newton did comment on the scene when Variety caught up with her after the panel.
She was in jail, I can’t believe that they showed that. I love that that was the intro to Cassie, first of all, that experience was so fun for me. I couldn’t even see anybody but I could feel everybody there, I could feel you all out there and I hoped you liked Cassie Lang a little bit, the little bit that you saw. Yeah, she’s in jail, she’s not up to no good, she’s up to good, okay.

Ahead of the Marvel Studios Hall H presentation, we got our first look at Cassie Lang suited up alongside her father and Hope Van Dyne, all sporting new outfits in what looked to be a Quantum Realm-esque background with our first look at Jonathan Majors as Kang the Conqueror looming over.
Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania is set to hit theaters on February 17th, 2023
