Any casting ideas for Cassie Lang?

I'm sure there are plenty of Disney actresses who would work. Depends on how old they want Cassie to be though.

>she can easily play Van Dyne in the 60s

Nope, since THR/Variety she is up for the lead actress role and Scott Lang's love interest/Pym's daughter. So she will definitely be a modern day character

or Scott will have a golden girls fetish. and i am not going to post what came up when i typed that into google search.

I suspect that they'll simply make Janet Hank Pym's daughter in the MCU.
1. It gets around the age issue.
2. It still gives Janet a close connection to Hank.
3. It still gives Hank a valid motivation to give her powers.

So FOX & MCU been talking to each other about casting

I say no to Disney Channel actresses :P

you're just dumping all over my dreams of a Miley Cyrus Squirrel Girl.

 

[terry78]

Hey, a lot of decent actors started in Disney.

 

[The Ironstar]

She can't be Pym's daughter,that would make her @ 45-5? yrs. old

Evangeline Lilly was born in 1979. Michael Douglas was 35 at that time.

Michael Douglas' first son was born in 1978.

The stars align perfectly here.

If they're going to father-daughter route, maybe Janet could be Hank's foster daughter instead of biological? Maybe something where Vernon Van Dye was an old friend of Hank who somehow died and Hank adopted a young Janet afterwards. Maybe Vernon's death could be the reason why Hank quite being Ant-Man in the MCU?

I would be good with that.

That's not a bad idea.

I was just thinking this earlier today too. Sounds like a plan to me.

I like that idea

Vernon Van Dyne could of been in the same explosion that killed Pym's father in-law and wife, this way you can have it like the comics in which Hank and Janet found comfort in each other after their loss with Pym adopting Janet. Janet grows up wanting to avenge her fathers death like in the comics and uses her adoptive fathers technology and pym particles to become wasp.

The villain who blew up the Dyne/Pym family could be one of Pym's old enemies who could now be working with the other villain they mentioned.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

I have a question. Who currently holds the rights to "The Microverse/Micronauts"? Is that in anyway with Marvel?

Do you mean film rights or comic rights?

Blue Marvel mentioned the Microverse/Micronauts in the latest Mighty Avengers issue so I think Marvel still own the comic rights.

from wiki...
Film[edit]

In November 2009, Hasbro announced that director J.J. Abrams was negotiating to produce a film based on the Micronauts.[6] In a March 2013 IGN interview, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick said they were working on a screenplay and the film was on Paramount's list of possible productions.[7

From the late 1990s the characters Marionette, Arcturus Rann and Bug (all Marvel properties) have appeared in various Marvel titles (without referencing the Micronauts label). Bug has appeared in a solo one-shot[3] and together with cosmic hero Star-Lord,[4] as part of a new incarnation of the Guardians of the Galaxy.[5]

Films[edit]

After Hasbro acquired the rights to the Micronauts toyline, it was announced in 2009 that J. J. Abrams was in negotiations to develop a movie version of the franchise.[32] However, the planned project has made no progress since then.

I own all the Tales To Astonish Ant-Man/Giant-Man/Wasp they are a fun read. The comics are very of their time.

 

[TheVileOne]

What if Scott Lang is Hank Pym's illegitimate son from Janet Van Dyne?

 

[chamber-music]

No offence but I'm not sure what the point is of making Scott Lang Hank Pym's son

 

[Sockie]

What if Scott Lang is Hank Pym's illegitimate son from Janet Van Dyne?

What would even be the point? Lang doesn't need to be related to Pym.

Hollywood does love unnecessary drama
