1. Cassandra Lang
Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe are already familiar with the 10-year old actress, Abby Ryder Fortson, who plays Cassie. In the first Ant-Man, Cassie was just was an ancillary albeit important character. While in Ant-Man and Wasp, we got see Forston in a more evolved role. Still, she’s not quite the Cassandra Lang from the comics.
In the pages of Marvel Comics, Cassandra steals Pym Particles after the death of her family in an effort to take on the mantle. She ran away from home, wanting to join the Young Avengers. During on her journey, Cassie discovers that her ability to grow and shrink is dictated by her emotions. Cassie’s miniseries could be more of a coming-of-age story.
There’s a little bit of everything from romance to heartache to growth. And, it could set up the introduction of the Young Avengers. They’ll have to recast Forston with someone about five years older like Emma Fuhrmann (who is rumored to play the role in Avengers 4) in order to make the time jump organic. Nevertheless, Cassandra Lang’s adventures would make for a great miniseries that could take fans on a trip to the future MCU.
Disney has major plans for its streaming service. Loki and Scarlet Witch are proof of that. And, with plans for even more series, these heroes should be considered. But, which MCU characters would you like to see get their own series? Leave a comment below.
