The title already makes it clear that he will be the great adversary of the Avengers in “Avengers 5: The Kang Dynasty”. But in “Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania” Kang first introduces himself – as seen in the first trailer:
Jonathan Majors was already involved in “Loki” – there he appeared under the name “He Who Remains”. Whether this is exactly the same person we see in the trailer for “Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania” is doubtful. With his clearly visible scar, Kang is already visually very different from the character from “Loki”.
MCU fans are now eagerly awaiting how Kang will leave his mark on the big Marvel universe in the cinema – because he certainly will as the new big antagonist. But the trailer for “Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania” shows us much more to the sounds of Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”.
We get our first look at MCU newcomer Bill Murray and, most importantly, we learn why “Ant-Man” Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) and co. travel deep into the Quantum Realm. Lang’s daughter Cassie (Kathryn Newton), who we also see in her superhero suit for the first time in the course of the preview, has developed a device with which one can communicate with the quantum realm. Janet Van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer) can only just warn that this is not a good idea. Her previous experiences in this world and what secrets she has kept from there will probably also play a big part.
It also remains to be seen how everyone gets out of the mess with the help of Hope (Evangeline Lilly) and Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) – perhaps bringing Kang into our world with them? We won’t find out until next year in the cinema.
“Ant-Man: And The Wasp Quantumania” from director Peyton Reed opens on 15 February 2023. The film will open the so-called fifth phase in the MCU. Here is also the new poster released with the trailer, which is meant to further illustrate the power of villain Kang:
