Avengers: Endgame, now an 18-year-old trying to help those in need, while her father, Scott (Paul Rudd), enjoys life as a famous Avenger. However, the entire Ant-Family finds themselves in the Quantum Realm, giving Cassie the perfect opportunity to show off her suit in the MCU.
In Ant-Man and the Wasp: QuantumaniaCassie builds a device capable of sending signals to the quantum world, only for him to create a portal that inadvertently drops the entire Ant Family into the subatomic universe. Confronting the forces of Invader Kang in Exile, it is revealed that Cassie already has a purple suit that uses Pym particles (Hope and Hank may have helped create it).

Thanos and the five-year-old Blip. So Cassie is in a heroic frame of mind with a strong desire to help those who can’t help themselves before the film begins. Likewise, he confirms that he already has his suit. It was when he put the two together and the MCU had a young hero ready to follow in his dad’s footsteps.

In the original comics, when he was old enough to become his own hero, Cassie took the name Boy, Stinger and Ant-Girl at various times.
