And through that trust I was able to just let go, and just fly, and create this Cassie that I really hope that the fans love. Peyton Reed believed in me to be Cassie, and that’s all you need. You can’t be worried that you look stupid, or that you’re overacting or something. I really trusted Peyton because he would say, I’m acting with nothing, or you’re looking at something, “it’s a giant thing, it’s coming at you and you have to be scared.” So you have to trust that you’re in the correct movie, or have the correct tone, because you can’t hold back. The biggest one is that you have to trust. What did it take for you to orient yourself within this world? You obviously had done things that involved CGI, but this is on another level. Taught by Jonathan Majors - and Kevin Feige, because I think he’s the only one who understands it. Maybe there’s like a quantum physics class. I’m not creating a quantum portal into another realm or anything… but I think I could. But I’m not a brilliant scientist by any means. I recently took a physics class just for fun, at UCLA Extension, just because I was out of work. I don’t know who it was, but somebody said, “It’s her turn.” And I’ve got to thank Brie Larson for telling me to keep patient because it was really good advice.Īre you scientifically inclined like Cassie is in the film? It might have been Sarah Finn, it might have been Peyton, might have been Lou, Kevin, Paul. And then a week later I got a call and Lou called me and was like, “We’d love for you to be our Cassie Lang.” So, it just takes one person. I thought, “Wow, whoever gets this role of Cassie Lang is going to really be different afterwards.” And I definitely am different after. And Peyton and I met, he told me an amazing story of what the movie was going to be. Okay, I’m ready.” I was just really ready. And then I just got a call one day and they were like, “Hey, Peyton Reed wants to meet you for ‘Ant-Man’.” And I was like, “Oh my God. So Sarah Finn saw something in me, I think she’s the one who recommended me for the role. This is really weird that I’m meeting you.” And she’s like, “If I can say anything to you, it’s be patient.” And I did wait awhile - and I just got a random call with an offer. I met Brie Larson one time and I hope it’s okay I’m saying it, but I looked at her and I’m like, “Listen, I’m up for this Marvel role. And when this came around… It’s kind of funny. And through that audition, I think I was just in her mind, and she kind of held onto me. I mean, my life changed after “Three Billboards” and “Pokémon.” Every project you do changes you, but there’s some that just open the door to people seeing you in a new light. She cast me in “Pokémon Detective Pikachu” and “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.” It only takes one person to see you, and she’s one of those people who did. I’m really lucky that I’ve been doing this a really long time and I got to work with Sarah Finn, the casting director, on other projects. How might that have prepared you for taking on Cassie in “Quantumania?” You auditioned for a Marvel role before you got this one.
