The following accommodates spoilers for the movement image Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and its mid- and post-credits scenes.
Phase 5 of the MCU has formally launched with the theatrical launch of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which yanked Scott Lang aka Ant-Man (performed by Paul Rudd) & Co. again into the Quantum Realm. There, it was revealed that in Janet’s (Michelle Pfeiffer) many years within the Quantum Realm, she befriended Kang (Jonathan Majors) and helped attempt to restore his ship. But as soon as the ability core had been restored and Janet laid fingers on the engine that’s managed by Kang’s thoughts, she noticed his recollections and realized that he was a ruthless conqueror of worlds. A conqueror who had been exiled to the Quantum Realm by “them,” with a sabotaged ship.
Janet acted quick and used Pym Particle Discs to super-duper-size the ability core, making it ineffective and thus maintaining Kang from visiting/vanquishing extra worlds. Alas, when Janet was unexpectedly rescued from the Quantum Realm (in Ant-Man and the Wasp), it meant she left Kang behind to journey roughshod over the civilizations there. As such, when Janet, Hank, Hope, Scott and his daughter Cassie discovered themselves again within the Quantum Realm, they needed to fend off irked natives, get a bit TMI from Bill Murray, keep away from Kang (and not assist the tyrant shrink again down the ability core), all whereas looking for their manner again residence.
In the tip, although Scott had been strong-armed into restoring the ability core to its precise measurement, he and his household, together with the rebellious locals and a big military of bleeding-edge ants, defeated Kang’s empire. Kang himself, in the meantime, wound up getting shoved into the ability core simply because it was being made sub-sub-sub-subbbbb-atomic, leaving his destiny a little bit of a thriller that kinda sorta bothered Scott as soon as he was again residence and narrating one among his jovial walks via city.
THE MID-CREDITS SCENE revolved round alllllllllll of the opposite Kang variants gathering inside a large area upon studying that the one they exiled had been killed. They didn’t weep for him, however now are led to fret that an excessive amount of has been discovered about them and the multiverse which the conqueror had been navigating….
THE POST-CREDITS SCENE — BTW, wow a lot of digital artists labored on this film! — tied in immediately with the Disney+ collection Loki, which in fact is the place Majors performed his first Kang variant, He Who Remains. The scene was set within the late 1800s/early 1900s, at a small exhibition being led by one Victor Timely, a Kang variant. In the viewers, we noticed a wide-eyed, horrified Loki (performed by MCU vet Tom Hiddleston) sitting subsequent to TVA Agent Mobius (Owen Wilson). With a hushed voice, Loki assured Mobius that the scientist on stage was “him,” however Mobius couldn’t see how the folksy Victor Timely could possibly be the highly effective villain they’re apparently on the lookout for.
WHAT DOES THE POST-CREDITS SCENE MEAN FOR LOKI SEASON 2, STREAMING THIS SUMMER?
As detailed for y’all as a helpful reminder forward of Quantumania‘s release, the Loki finale revolved around Loki and Sylvie meeting He Who Remains inside the Citadel at the End of Time. He Who Remains shared an origin story, for him and his variants, that aligns with what Kang said in Quantumania. Also like the movie’s Kang, He Who Remains warned that if he have been to be killed, infinite variants of him would seem and a multiversal conflict would absolutely begin. And all of us what finally occurred: Sylvie up and killed the Kang variant, leaving Loki inside a TVA the place now no person, Mobius included, acknowledged him. And the place a large statue of Kang now overlooks the atrium.
Meaning that in that Quantumania post-credits scene, Loki is clearly on some form of time-hopping mission to get Mobius reacquainted with him and to seek out variants of He Who Remains. Mobius, although skeptical of Victor Timely being any sort of Big Bad, appears willingly alongside for the journey. But when Loki Season 2 opens, will the estranged allies already be on this mission? Or will we rewind a bit and see Loki, now a stranger to Mobius, persuade the TVA agent of what he and Sylvie discovered from the Citadel?
Did the occasions of Quantumania make you much more excited for Loki Season 2, streaming someday this summer time?
