We are just some months away from the subsequent huge title in the MCU, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and it guarantees to rock the Marvel universe. We have been launched to the movie’s villain, Kang the Conqueror, performed by Jonathan Majors, at the finish of season 1 of the Disney+ sequence Loki. We will actually get to see what he’s able to in Ant-Man 3, and he might be Marvel’s greatest nemesis since Thanos, as his reign will final by way of the two upcoming epic Marvel motion pictures, Avengers: Secret Wars and Avengers: Kang Dynasty.
Ant-Man franchise director Peyton Reed sat down to speak about the villain and his “profound impact on the MCU” with Empire, saying:
“I think it has a profound impact on the MCU. Jeff Loveness, who wrote this movie, is writing The Kang Dynasty as well, so there’s been a lot of discussion about the impact that this appearance of Kang The Conqueror makes. There are big things in store.”
For audiences, it’ll be an opportunity to see what Majors can deliver to Kang’s alternate selves. It’s mentioned that he’ll deliver a very totally different power from what we noticed in Loki. Reed teased:
“Kang The Conqueror in our movie is a very different character. He’s someone who has dominion over time, and he’s a warrior and a strategist.”
Given that Ant-Man’s earlier villains have been lower-level threats like Yellowjacket and Ghost, in addition to Walton Goggins’ Sonny Burch, this was a possibility to have him face, as Reed calls it, “an all-timer antagonist,” a villain as big as they arrive.
“That’s interesting to me: to take the tiniest, and in some people’s minds weakest, Avenger, and put them up against this absolute force of nature.”
I really like Ant-Man. He didn’t get the credit score he deserved for the function he performed in Avengers: Endgame, and I do know he’s able to holding his personal, at the very least with the assist of his Avenger associates. I’m stoked for this subsequent part, and I stay up for seeing what Kang will deliver our manner.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is ready to hit theaters on July 28, 2023.
