Where You Know The Cast Of Griffin In Summer From

Griffin in Summer’s strong cast is led by the young actor Everett Blunck. Blunck is 14 years old and therefore has the fewest film credits among the main cast, but has been in a surprising string of western movies and shows. Blunck appeared in Bring on the Dancing Horses, Murder at Yellowstone City, This Old Way, Blood for Dust, and Outlaw Posse, and is part of the cast of the upcoming mini-series Man is the Devil.

The rest of the movie’s primary cast has an impressive string of roles under their collective belts. Owen Teague starred in Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes as the ape Noa, and was also a key cast member on Bloodline. Melanie Lynskey may be recognizable because of her leading role on Yellowjackets, but also had a powerful turn as Kathleen in The Last of Us HBO series.

The movie’s other two leads, Abby Ryder Fortson and Kathryn Newton, have an interesting connection in that both of them played Cassie Lang in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Fortson originally played Cassie in Ant-Man (2015) and again in Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018), and Newton took over the role for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (with Emma Fuhrmann playing the character in Avengers: Endgame). Outside of the MCU, Fortson starred in Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. and Newton played the titular character in Lisa Frankenstein.
