Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania inducts a new hero into the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the form of Kathryn Newton’s Cassie Lang, who follows in Ant-Man’s footsteps with her own size-changing costume. Newton can be among the new stars of the MCUbut she’s certainly confident enough in a sport to challenge fellow countryman Tom Holland.
Newton has been playing tournament golf since she was eight years old and even made it to the US Women’s Open qualifier in 2012, but she decided to become an actress rather than a professional. So when IMDB asked her to compare her skills to those of her The ant Man co-stars, she had this to say:
Certainly the best golfer in the cast. Absolutely. I may be the best golfer in the MCU. I’m talking to you, Tom Holland.
Holland is also an avid golfer. The actor even practiced the sport in his Spider-Man costume and shared in the past that he is “obsessed” with sports because it is the only one he can play without dangerously injuring himself. He can consider himself challenged by Kathryn Newton, who also said this:
I heard he was a very good golfer, so I say that lightly and humbly, but I’m pretty good, so we’ll have to see.
Looks like she’s ready to test who the best golfer in the MCU is with Tom Holland to prove her point. I would personally put my money on Newton, who could have turned pro if she had decided to. Then again, Tom Holland keeps his life a lot more low-key, and who knows, maybe he’s as amazing in swingers clubs as Spider-Man is in swingers webs.
Golf isn’t the only thing the two MCU actors have in common. Apparently Paul Rudd said Newton was like Tom Holland because she’s not the best at keeping spoilers to herself. We haven’t yet heard of any leaks from the actress, but it’s something to note. All in all, it looks like Kathryn Newton and Tom Holland would be a good match in a next marvel movie, at least to determine who the MCU’s ultimate best golfer is. Still, I’m sure there are other secretly great golfers among the franchise’s massive roster of actors. Marvel should host some sort of MCU open to charity.
Tom Holland is currently taking a hiatus from the MCU after delivering an entire trilogy of Spider Man movies and appearances in a few other Marvel movies. He will star in the next live-action Spider Man movie, but the latest is Marvel writers ‘just put pen to paper’ about history. Holland better brush up on his golf skills in the meantime, because it looks like he’s been challenged to find out who could be the best golfer in the MCU!
