Ant-Man Faces Down Kang the Conqueror in New Still from Quantumania

Jonathan Majors may have played his part a tad goofy in the Loki finale, but he’s set to be the more serious variant of Kang in the upcoming Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Just in, we have a new still courtesy of Empire with Scott Lang facing down the main baddie of the next Avengers film.

Check this out:

With Kang being the next villain that will face the Avengers, it’s curious what kind of impact we can expect from him in Ant-Man and the Wasp. Director Peyton Reed tells Empire:

“I think [the movie] 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.”

We don’t know exactly how Marvel plans to utilize Kang, but if ‘He Who Remains’ is to be believed, it’s possible the Avengers could be taking on a whole multitude of Kangs—each with their own different level of ruthlessness and power. Even if Ant-Man does end up defeating the Kang in this film, it’s possible he’s only one of a thousand that could be coming for the reality of the MCU.

For all of the ‘evil’ Kangs we get though, there are also some who are aligned to be good, just like Iron Lad of the Young Avengers. Until the movie comes out, all we can really do is guess.

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is set to hit theaters on Feb. 17, 2023.
