Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania may not have been the critically acclaimed movie that many MCU fans were hoping for, but that’s not to say that the film doesn’t have plenty of stuff for viewers to chew on. This has been evident from the get-go as the film officially brings Kang into the MCU, who is set to become the next Thanos-level threat.
So without further ado, let’s get right into the list as these are the ten most pressing questions that we have after watching Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
***Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania Spoilers Below***
Is Kang the Conqueror Actually Dead?
In typical comic book movie tradition, the film’s main villain, Kang the Conqueror, apparently dies in the story’s climax when Ant-Man and the Wasp knock him into his chair’s power core. Yet, unlike other antagonists, death does not mean much for a character like Kang, as he has an infinite amount of versions, as was showcased in the movie’s first end-credits scene.
Nevertheless, Kang the Conqueror is undoubtedly the most prominent of his variants in the comics, so it would definitely feel weird for him not to be involved in any future movie. Perhaps getting sucked into the power core will put the Conqueror on the back burner until Secret Wars, where he comes back, assuming the role of The Beyonder; that’s the central antagonist from that storyline for those who don’t know.
It’s also quite feasible that another Kang variant will rise to become a Conqueror as well. Still, whatever the case may be, it’s inarguable that the Avengers antagonist deserves even more storytime than what he got in Ant-Man 3.
Who Are the Council of Kangs and What Do They Want?
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’s mid-credits scene features the first on-screen appearance of the MCU’s Council of Kangs, a group that was briefly mentioned in Loki Season One. The scene primarily focused on the group’s three leaders, Rama-Tat, Immortus, and the Scarlet Centurion, with the three of them, alongside the other Kang variants, clearly happy to hear of the Conqueror’s death.
Unfortunately, the end-credits scene doesn’t specify precisely who these Kang variants are and what they want. If Loki’s He Who Remains is to be believed, these variants are going to cause a war throughout the Multiverse, yet it seems that this is the very reason why the group exiled the Conqueror in the first place.
So it’ll be interesting to see if this Multiversal War between the Kang variants does indeed happen and what exactly starts the war seeing as how the different versions are seemingly working together at the moment. The next two places where we’ll likely learn more about the Council of Kangs are Loki Season Two and Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, so thankfully, the answer to this question is indeed coming relatively soon.
Why Are Loki and Mobius After Victor Timely?
Ant-Man 3’s second end-credits scene gives viewers a look into what fans can expect to see in Loki Season Two, as it seems that Loki and Mobius are searching for Victor Timely, another Kang variant. Why exactly the two are doing this remains a mystery, although given how the first season ended, it is understandable why they are after Kang.
For those who don’t remember, Loki Season One ended with Sylvie killing He Who Remains, which allowed Kang to come back to the forefront, who in turn took over the TVA and wiped all of the agents’ memories. It is worth noting that it has not been made clear yet whether or not we have met the variant that is now in charge of the TVA.
It appears that during his second season, Loki is able to convince Mobius to take him back in time and search for variants of their new boss. This search then results in the two of them encountering the Victor Timely variant, who looks to be very different from his counterparts, though it is Kang we’re talking about, so nothing is for sure.
