Image via Marvel Studios Warning: this article contains massive spoilers for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Marvel Studios has opened up to using comic books as reference for their characters — it is based on Marvel Comics, after all. However, it seems like someone in the writers’ room may have watched too much Star Wars when working on the script for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Is M.O.D.O.K. the MCU’s one-off Darth Vader? Reddit user u/TrpTrp26 noticed similarities when it came to the backstory on…

Jonathan Majors as Kang, or should we say Kangs?Image: Marvel StudiosNo matter what you may have thought of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, you have to admit the first end-credit scene, in particular, was awesome. It beautifully put into motion not just the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but tied up a few loose ends that had been set up in the film itself. When both of those things happen, Marvel’s end credits scenes are at their very best.However, the scene certainly created some... challenges, let’s say, in…

Image: Marvel StudiosRight now, if you want to know about Kang’s future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the person to talk to is Jeff Loveness. Loveness, best known for his work on Rick & Morty, not only wrote Marvel’s current hit Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, he’s also writing Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, the fifth Avengers film currently set for release May 2, 2025. And since that script is still being worked on, technically Loveness probably knows just a tiny bit more about it than even the man who hired him,…

It’s time for more Marvel Cinematic Universe, more special effects, more families in danger and more sinister baddies, with a bigger role for Kang the Conqueror – the big cross-movie threat, a la Thanos – played by Jonathan Majors. Alas, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania suffers from too many special effects, sadly. It uses Industrial Light and Magic's (ILM) StageCraft technology (AKA “the Volume”), which came to prominence in Star Wars series The Mandalorian. It’s a series of enormous LED walls that can display real-time…

Early on in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, our hero Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) and his daughter Cassie (Kathryn Newton) are warped into a quantum-level universe. It’s filled with alien biology and vistas that wouldn't be out of place on distant planets. But while that sounds like the perfect setup for a fun sci-fi romp, I never bought it. And, unfortunately, the actors didn't appear to buy it either. The backgrounds looked like psychedelic screensavers, and, similar to the Star Wars prequels, there was an uncanny…

We finally have our first hint at what Loki season 2 is about, and unsurprisingly, it’s Kang. The first real teaser for the new season arrived as the final post-credits scene for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and it teased a few possible futures for the Disney Plus series. Here’s everything that happens in the Loki teaser from Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and what it could mean for the show’s next season. In the post-credits scene, we see what appears to be a Victorian-era scientific presentation given by…

Photo via Marvel Studios With a franchise as robust as the Marvel Cinematic Universe, differing opinions are about the only thing it can confidently count on. While one person may like Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, the other may hate it. One person could adore Thor: Love and Thunder, but the next person could absolutely despise it. One person could easily appreciate Eternals, but another fan could — who are we kidding? Everyone hates Eternals.  Nevertheless, Marvel fans’ divided opinions were put on full…

Ant-Man and The Wasp - Post credits scenesAt the end of Ant-Man and the Wasp, before they’re dusted, Scott goes into the Quantum Realm to get materials so that Ghost can survive. Hank, Janet, and Hope are observing. Janet even gives him some tips! Everything seems fine until, you know, Thanos. But if Janet was so scared of the Quantum Realm and Kang, why let Scott go down there at all? The answer here depends on how literal you want to get. The real answer, most certainly, is that the Marvel Studios team hadn’t conceived…
