Emma Fuhrmann’s acting here is phenomenal; she really looks like she feels as if she’s seeing a ghost. She does so much in such a little scene. She should never have been replaced.
I one hundred percent agree with you, in fact I've been saying since this movie came out that Cassie's actress in Endgame showed genuine grief, pain, and relief with only a few seconds, one word and a look. She is great and I was excited to see her return in the future but for some asinine reason they choose to replace her and with an actress who I just don't believe hits that mark as Cassie. Nothing against the Girl in Quantumania I just would have preferred Emma Fuhrmann
one of the reasons i dislike the girl from quantumania is that she resembles amber herd so much and i just cant stand her. but even if they didnt look alike, the quantumania girl is just not convincing to me.
@@andyshepard4309 No, it really is that bad. For starters, it barely made any sense and drastically altered most of the characters and their motivations; or contradicts them in the same movie multiple times.
2:06 - 2:29 no exaggeration, this is some of paul rudd's best acting. the relief that she's okay, the confusion that she's grown up, the realization that more time passed for her than for him, and the dismay that despite everything he did he still missed seeing her grow up
That and the way Rudd delivers the line, “You’re so big…” A lot of parents say that at least once in their lifetime, but as you mentioned before, he doesn’t get to see her grow up. Therefore, while he still says something a lot of parents say, he doesn’t get to witness the reason he would say, “You’re so big.” That’s what broke my heart watching this moment in theaters, and if I’m being honest, my heart still breaks a little rewatching this moment.
This scene is one of my favorites in the movie. Even the kid on the bike, you can see his face curl in disgust and his eyes narrow and you can tell exactly what ran through his head.
@@Evilevilmonkeyy no, outside the Marvel franchise, the child actor who passed by Scott on the bike played a character called ‘Spider’, in the second Avatar film.
@@user-jd5no5ij6tI agree that Kathryn is a talented actress. Her performance in the movie Freaky was phenomenal. But she was not a good fit for Cassie. Throughout the whole Quantummania movie, it was so distracting because you could clearly tell that wasn’t the same actress we saw in this movie
I’m not exaggerating when I say this is the most emotionally devastating scene in a movie that also has Iron Man’s death, the portals scene, Thor’s trauma, and Steve’s final act.
@@DivinePearl yeah, that one hit me pretty hard too because you knew exactly what was going to happen and just had to sit and wait for the tragedy to unfold.
I believe marvel made a mistake not going with Emma Fuhrmann as Cassie lang. she was already established and she went from shocked to disbelief to actually belief and happiness all in the span of 3 seconds. That’s the makings of a good actor there.
A neat detail: if you watch Paul Rudd’s reflection in the windows of the door, you can see the confusion on his face and his head track downwards slightly as Cassie appears, because this young woman can’t be Cassie because Cassie was a little girl when last he saw her. It’s just phenomenal acting on Paul’s part.
Still wished they kept Emma Fuhrmann in Quantumania... Edit: 1:19 love Scott's reaction when he saw his name instead of Cassie's on the Wall of the Vanished...
Honestly, Emma looks so much more like a teenage Cassie than Kathryn. I think that recasting her was a Terrible Idea. Plus, I was hoping for in an upcoming Ant-Man movie where she and Harley Keener from Iron Man 3 (Ty Simpkins) become a Couple. !!!
Not really. Kathryn looks more like a teenager. She could’ve been Cassie in this scene. And then they could’ve recasted her with Emma in Quantumania. But, I don’t question the MCU. Not anymore now that Deadpool has come to save it.
Yeah, it's still despicable that they recast her for no reason and didn't even tell her (she literally found out on social media), but in a way a blessing that she wasn't forced to try and salvage her character after being butchered in the script. What we see in Ant Man 3 isn't Cassie. It's the anti Cassie.
1:55 - 2:30 love the wordless storytelling. relief she's okay, confusion she's grown up, sorrow you missed seeing her grow up and joy that you're together in the end
Cassie is better in this one scene than she was in the entirety of that abortion Quantumania. Should’ve kept Emma. And what’s worse is she found out from online she wasn’t coming back. Dick move Marvel
I don’t know why they replaced her. The only explanation I can think of is that, as usual in Hollywood, they just wanted a big name actor playing Cassie
Say what you want about DC, but at least James Gunn don't fire actors online instead he has meeting and addresses the situation and wants to move forward with other directions
@@adammilette3076 no but as far as I know they usually don’t recast this scummy way tho. Like they seriously couldn’t tell her themselves that she wasn’t coming back? She had to find out on social media? That’s awful
One of Rudd's best pieces of acting. Such a range of emotions, with no words, in seconds. I'm the father of daughters, and the look on his face when he realizes that his daughter is alive, but that he's missed 5 years of her life that he'll never get back, is like a dagger.
Every time a scene from Endgame or Winter Soldier or Civil War or Infinity War gets posted, it just reminds you how great these films are and how far the MCU has fallen.
which is what is wrong with the MCU now. they need to go back to casting the right person for the role like they did when the MCU was first starting out instead of just giving the role to a bigger name like they do now.
Dudes first proper sentence he said to his daughter was a witty comment. I like to imagine he made it for 1, he was trying to bring a sense of levity to the shocking revelation and 2, to prove to his daughter that it is him and he is actually back.
This scene is one of the best Endgame brought to the world. Sure, she looks a little older than what I would have expected Cassie to be after five years, but the actress was actually young enough to match the role. The writing and acting here are amazing.
Still haven't seen the movie, but that reunion was a big tearful one for me. No matter what others would say, Cassie loved her Dad and he loved his daughter. This was a good embrace for them. I really liked it. ❤
That's probably one of my favorite scenes in this movie, for how father and daughter reunite. Cassie thought Scott was dead like the others who got snapped away, but then here he is, standing in front of her door. Next, we see her in the end with her dad and the now restored Hope.
@@andyshepard4309He also wasn't an inconsistent dick. Compared to her, he was barely even a slightly rebellious teen. And the current Spider-Man incarnation WAS a really good kid right from the get go, so even in the MCU that argument doesn't hold any water.
Are you afraid that she's gonna turn into some kind of criminal? Quit worrying about her, okay? Something's different. She'll figure it out. Stop lecturing her, please.
The pain on the kid's face was just a STUNNINGLY GOOD acting job! Wow. I saw more pain in his face, no words needed to be spoken. And then he rode away. This entire scene was STELLAR!
They really did Emma Fuhrmann dirty. Not only did they unnecessarily replace her for seemingly no other reason than to hire a slightly more recognisable actress (because it definitely wasn't about acting ability) but they didn't even inform her. She found out through social media with everyone else. That's despicable. On the other hand, you could argue she dodged a bullet laced with every disease known to man, by not returning to the role, because of how they butchered her in the script. Her scene in Endgame is one of the few genuinely touching moments in the film, largely due to her performance, despite the fact that she has less than a minute of screen-time and utters no more than a single word of dialogue, in a near 3 hour film. So I suppose it's ultimately a blessing that we didn't have to see her forced to play the anti Cassie in Ant Man 3, even if the way they recast her was reprehensible. I genuinely hope she gets better offers.
"Hey, kid! What the hell happened here?" The look on that kid's face didn't tell you exactly what happened, but it definitely told you how bad it was. That kid had *seen some shit.*
Imagine the infinite emotions racing through your mind when you realise your daughter is not only alive, but that you've been suspended from the space-time-continuum for years and that she's grown up without you.
I looked it up and when Ant-Man was stuck in the quantum dimension, Cassie would've been 10, when he left so 5 years later, she is now 15 years old when he comes back.
No, it’s true. No one thought it was possible. Tony Stark (the one guy that could) didn’t even consider it until Scott showed up. Scott’s return proved in one fell swoop that time could be manipulated. It could be traveled. Not only that, but with the Pym family gone, Scott was the ONLY one who had any idea that it could be done and had any working knowledge of the tech required to do it. Sure, Tony could have figured it out eventually, but the one Quantum Tunnel in existence was in the back of a crappy van in San Francisco, and I guarantee you Tony didn’t know about it or he would have yanked it out of storage himself. Scott Lang was THE guy with the tech and skills needed to do it.
Obviously they brought back everyone who was Snapped, but can you imagine the untold death and destruction from half of all life disappearing from the Earth? Vehicles of all kinds crashing, technology suddenly losing it's technicians and breaking down, captive animals escaping. They kind of show it in WandaVision when Monica has her flashback of being Snapped and the hospital is going nuts but still
As much as I love Emma Fuhrmann's brief performance here, I'm glad they replaced her for Ant Man 3 (but hear me out as to why). Imagine you, the viewer, trying to reconcile this lovely, loving Cassie with the obnoxious wannabe girlboss she was turned into in Quantumania. It would've soured me on her character and on Fuhrmann as an actress.
Antman's idea to get the stones from the past was the first domino in a long line of dominoes to defeating Thanos and undoing what he had done. But his daughter seeing him alive was the most emotional moment in the movie.
I was trying so hard to keep my comments and reactions in this movie to a minimum because I have a problem with exactly that. This was the moment I knew I was in trouble.
No offence to the blonde girl in Quantumania but I really hated they recast Emma Fuhrmann. She was so great and did so much with the little she was given. The intensity of her eyes worked so well here
In all seriousness memes aside when he asks "what the hell happened here?" to that kid, and he only gives a look of pure despair, and bikes away without a word tells you everything you need to know on how the snap affected the rest of the remaining population. Amazing 'show don't tell.' I really wish the Russo brothers stuck around longer for phase 4 him
The most unrealistic thing about this entire movie is that San Francisco was able to build a memorial in less than five years. One mile of high-speed rail has taken 20 years.
Please I ask , don' t hate Kathryn Newton . she did what she could , yes , Emma looked better but it was Marvel 's decision to remove her and unfortunately you have to accept it
