After completion of phase 4 with Black Panther: Wakanda ForeverPhase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will begin with Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Mania. This is one of the films that can be most relevant to what has been developed in this stage and the next. Everything starting with the key name: Kang the conqueror.
A variant of this character was introduced in the first season. Loki. He entered the Marvel Cinematic Universe as “The One Who Remained”, the version in charge of the passage of time. This character, played by Jonathan Majors, explained that he was simply one of the best versions to have existed in different timelines.
This opened the door to multiple interpretations, as The One Who Remains also noted that other variations of it can be ruthless in many ways. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Mania It’s amazing because this will be the first movie to officially feature one of these versions of Kang the Conqueror. Judging by the preview, it is very powerful. But, as it turned out recently, the one that needs Scott Lang’s helpwhich has been played by Paul Rudd since 2015.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Mania
and a key plot detail
In the first preview Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Mania, there is a moment when Kang the Conqueror approaches Paul Rudd and tells him that he needs his help. To? Both are in the Quantum World, a world with its own rules and codes. Film director Payton Reed offered an explanation for this.
This is an important detail because it makes us wonder how relevant the relationship between Paul Rudd and Kang the Conqueror can be during Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Mania. Reid told the magazine Empire what Kang the Conqueror wants to get out of the quantum world because he is locked in it.. That’s why he’s offering Paul Rudd the chance to help him… if he can lend a helping hand too.
In addition to this information, the director explained the differences between Kang El Conquistador and the version presented in Locai, defined as “He who remains”:
“He’s a very different character (compared to ‘The One Who Remains’). He is the one who controls time. He is a warrior and strategist. I’m interested in taking the smallest and weakest Avenger – in the minds of some people – and pitting him against this absolute force of nature.”
Kang the Conqueror will be the main villain of the fifth and sixth phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It is assumed that this will not be the only variant of the character to become part of the franchise. Premiere Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Mania scheduled for February 17, 2023.
