It's kinda crazy to see the actors like Kathryn who grew up as fans watching the MCU are now part of the MCU now.

"It's never too late to stop being a dick." - Cassie Lang

[kokofreshful]

She's been grinding and doing so many projects over the years. So happy she's getting this big spotlight. 🙏🏾

[zoebug]

Iman Vellani, Simu Liu, Tom Holland, Kumail Nanjiani and now Kathryn? The list of kids who grew up watching these movies and were fans then actually joined the mcu just keeps getting bigger and I'm here for it!

Kathryn has such a charming personality with amazing energy! She's super quick witted too, has all her answers ready to go. I appreciate the subtle humor, she's funny but not in an overly distracting kinda way.

They really should give Ali, Brandon Davis, Sean O'Connell and Kevin McCarthy cameos because their Marvel interviews are always top notch

[trevorgolding]

I love this guy''s interviews! And Kathryn's a great guest.

[chelsey]

She’s so funny 😂 Great sense of humour. I love that she kept making the interviewer laugh. Also she does a good British accent

[susannamartina]

So happy she’s in the marvel universe! Loved her in Supernatural!

[whazee]

She's lovely.
Great accent too!

[AnnaLizzyRose]

There have been a few faces to Cassie over the years. I felt sorry for Emma Fuhrmann who wasn't offered to pick up the role after Endgame.

[BPBeckford]

“Don’t be a dick Darren” 😭😭

I can’t remember the rest…

[hiravparekh]

Like the rest of the interview she remained honest until the very end and Described the Brits very correctly without worrying about getting any hate comments from Brits

[AlexanderDanvers]

I would buy all the “DON’T BE A DICK” hats

[morrisho]

Kathryn is actually a great actress especially her role in Freaky. The writing and script did her dirty in Ant Man and The Wasp: Quantamania.

[danielhilgeman]

Kathryn is beautiful and a amazing person and actress so thrilled she is finally in the mcu congrats can't wait to see the movie

[BridgetHearts_Edits]

I love Kathryn Newton as Cassie Lang new superhero Stinger is beautiful and strength!

[tylerjames]

3:48, they literally told her to run behind a green screen and say a line without telling her what the scene is about. Typical marvel

[kadosho]

Yay so happy for Kathryn 🥳🎉🎉
What an adventure

She totally deserves to be in more of the MCU

Ali, cameo? Deadpool 3? Yes. More films. Also yes
