The primary two Ant-Man films have been each breaks from the epic motion of the remainder of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Ant-Man 1 was like a bit of epilogue to Avengers: Age of Ultron. Ant-Man and the Wasp was like a bit of ellipsis within the area between Avengers: Infinity Warfare and Avengers: Endgame. These films have been the intermezzo between main programs of the meal that’s the MCU.
However Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is completely different. As an alternative of the coda after a section, it’s the official kickoff of Part 5 of the MCU, and the formal introduction of Jonathan Majors’ Kang the Conqueror, who would be the key villain within the subsequent a number of years of Marvel films and exhibits. The selection to introduce Kang within the usually small-stakes world of Ant-Man was a deliberate selection, in keeping with Marvel’s Kevin Feige in a brand new Quantumania featurette.
“We at all times love doing the surprising with Scott Lang,” Feige says. “Ant-Man is arguably the character that’s the most underestimated. Ant-Man turned the important thing to saving the universe in Avengers: Endgame. So, carrying that custom, we thought, ‘Let’s use this movie to kick off Part 5.’”
Watch the complete video beneath:
It’s a little jarring to see Ant-Man, the man who shrinks to steal stuff (and infrequently grows massive to punch Falcon within the face) now squaring off with Kang, one of many deadliest villains within the historical past of Marvel. That doesn’t look like a very reasonable combat. However maybe that’s the purpose. Don’t you wish to see how Ant-Man beats this man? Or at the very least survives to combat one other day in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars?
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is scheduled to open completely in theaters on February 17.
