The Marvel Cinematic Universe is slowly approaching its next big break. crossoverone who follows Infinity War D end of the game in size and relevance. We mean of course Avengers: Kang Dynastythe premiere of which is scheduled for May 2, 2025. Now, before his arrival, Marvel needs to lay the groundwork for the story ahead of time.and here he comes on stage Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Mania.
third film about ant-manIn addition to opening the curtain on Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it aims to introduce a character who will take Thanos’ place as the new great enemy to defeat. star shape Kang the Conqueror will happen in Avengers: Kang Dynasty.
In an interview with EmpirePeyton Reid, director Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Maniasaid Marvel’s intention is to create a direct connection with Avengers: Kang Dynasty. To achieve this without inconsistencies, they ensured that Jeff Loveness was the screenwriter for both feature films.. A very wise decision, no doubt:
“I think it has a profound effect [Ant-Man y la Avispa: Quantumania] in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Jeff Loveness, who wrote this film, is also writing Kang Dynasty, so there has been a lot of discussion about the influence of Kang the Conqueror’s appearance. Great things are coming.“
Peyton Reed.
As seen in the first trailer Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Mania, Kang the Conqueror won’t reveal all his facets as a villainbut their intentions for the future. Intentions that, by the way, will force the superheroes to once again join forces against a threat that, at least in the comics, was more dangerous and scary than Thanos himself.
In that sense, Reed himself has hinted that Kang the Conqueror, like Thanos in his time, will have a narrative development before unleashing all of his evil. So in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Mania you can expect to see a measured and strategic version of Kang. We must not forget that this character is extremely smart, which will make it more difficult to defeat him.
“Kang the Conqueror in our film [Quantumania]He is a completely different character. He is the one who owns time, a warrior and a strategist,” said the director.
Does the above mean that there will be no confrontation between Ant-Man and Kang? Not really. It’s a fact that both characters will have some kind of competitionbut don’t expect something the size of crossover which Avengers: Kang Dynasty and, a year later, Avengers: Secret Wars.
Despite the above, for Reed, the approach of his film is still interesting, since basically we will see two completely different characters collide with each other. On the one hand, Scott Lang, whom many considered fandom as the weakest of the current superheroes. And, on the other hand, Kang the Conqueror, regarded as the greatest threat in many universes.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Mania will be released on February 17, 2023. Avengers: Kang Dynasty D Avengers: Secret WarsFor their part, they will be released on May 2, 2025 and May 1, 2026, respectively. Yes, it’s still a long way off…
