Actress Kathryn Newton is about to get a lot more famous. As Cassie Lang in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, she has a role with huge MCU implications. Before she was a superhero, she was the star of the 2020 streaming hit Freaky, and now there’s talk of her reprising that role in a fun crossover.
Freaky is a twist on the body-switching Freaky Friday, except instead of trading bodies with a mom, it’s the body of a serial killer. Despite being released during the height of the pandemic, it got a lot of buzz and solid reviews. This brings us to Happy Death Day and its sequel, Happy Death Day 2U. Like Freaky, Happy Death Day centers around a young female protagonist, this time played by Jessica Rothe, and was also a hit, making $125.5 million on a budget of $4.8 million. All three movies were directed by Christopher Landon, and for a while, there was serious talk about a crossover between the two franchises. Unfortunately, that got mired in production issues and pandemic delays before it fizzled out.
