Cassie Lang will return in “Avengers: Doomsday.”

Kathryn Newton announced on Instagram on Friday that she is one of the, let’s face it, half of SAG-AFTRA’s membership who will be in Marvel’s next big superhero extravaganza. The actress, last seen in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” is back to help the MCU gang save the world from Doctor Doom (Robert Downey Jr. in villain mode). Newton revealed her return in a tongue-in-cheek fashion on social media, unpacking a box that had a director’s chair with her name on the back of it and the film’s logo on front. It’s a sly nod to the way that Marvel announced all of the heroes and villains who will be returning for the hotly anticipated sequel.
