Will Ant-Man pass away in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania? was the first post to appear on Ready, Steady, Cut.
In Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, will Ant-Man pass away? We talk about the highly anticipated MCU movie and whether the protagonist will pass away.
For Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Marvel has given fans an incredible trailer that gives Kanga a more evil edge than the one that was previously published a few months ago. Additionally, it offers viewers their first look at M.O.D.O.K. in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), in both its regular form and its combat-focused form. Phase Five of the MCU will begin with this movie, but it will have far-reaching effects.
One of those significant repercussions relates to Ant-Man himself. He spends the majority of the trailer being brutally thrashed by Kang. Fans are speculating about the possibility of seeing Ant-Man in the future again and whether or not he would get splattered like an ant by the time traveler.
Will Ant-Man die in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania?
Due in large part to the absurdity of his moniker, Ant-Man is frequently seen as one of the underwhelming Avengers. However, Paul Rudd’s rendition of the character has increased people’s admiration and appreciation for it. The movies play off the concept’s silliness, but Quantumania appears to have a far more somber tone.
This is due to the film’s monumental burden of introducing Kang, the next main villain, and setting up the MCU’s next two phases.
Quantumania must convince viewers that he poses an Avengers-level threat rather than merely being a nobody who Ant-Man can defeat.
If Kang not only killed Ant-Man but also defeated him, it would be incredibly shocking. A comparable sequence that Marvel might wish to duplicate for Kang is when Thanos kills Loki in his first major scene in Avengers: Infinity War. While Kang may inform Ant-Man that he has murdered Avengers in other universes, just explaining to the audience why he poses a threat is insufficient. If Kang were to kill an Avenger on screen, it would have a profound impact.
Ant-name, Man’s Scott Lang, has previously passed away in comic books. Jack of Hearts explodes in the first issue of the Avengers Disassembled comics storyline, killing Lang. Although Lang’s passing won’t take place in exactly the same way in the MCU, it has established the precedent that Ant-Man has passed away earlier, and it’s at this time that the Avengers’ fortunes begin to deteriorate. If the other Avengers experience a similar slide after his death in the MCU, Kang may be able to seize control.
Ant-Man Death Theories
The MCU might also kill off Ant-Man in order to inspire his daughter Cassie.
- In the latest trailer, there are several shots of Kang beating Ant-Man to a pulp, smashing his helmet with his foot, and causing Ant-Man several facial injuries. It’s possible that Kang might simply beat Ant-Man to death, though that would be a violent and brutal end to a hero that’s typically used for comic relief.
- The final shot of the trailer shows Kang unleashing beams of energy at something, possibly Ant-Man. Again, this would be something that shows Kang’s superior equipment and power, establishing his threat. It would also be less violent than Kang pummelling Ant-Man to death.
- Some theories have suggested that Ant-Man might go crazy and get trapped in the Quantum Realm, something that nearly happened to Hank Pym in Ant-Man and the Wasp. This is unlikely though, as Ant-Man has already spent extended periods of time there, and has come out unscathed. While this might leave the door open for a possible return, it doesn’t quite show off the power of Kang in the same way.
Who Will Be the Villain in Quantumania?
In the comic books, Cassie is inspired by Scott’s passing to become a hero of her own. Cassie Lang eventually joins the Young Avengers when he passes away, a storyline that could appear in the MCU. The Young Avengers are already in attendance, and it has been established that Cassie will play the role of the movie’s hero.
Kang the Conqueror will enter the MCU in the right way thanks to Quantum. Jonathan Majors has played He Who Remains, a Kang clone, in the Disney+ series Loki before, but Quantumania is the first time he will play the part prominently. He has been a recurring bad guy since 1963 and possesses the ability to travel through time. For their upcoming slate of movies, Kang will be Marvel’s next major antagonist, and Majors will portray several iterations of the character.
Nathaniel Richards, the father of Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four, is Kang’s real name. He may only be a man, but his tools and his desire to rule other worlds make him dangerous.
Is Quantumania the last Ant-Man Movie?
Another bad guy, known as Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing (M.O.D.O.K. ), has been around since 1967. He is depicted as having a little body and small arms and legs, but he is quite lethal. He has superhuman intelligence, which enables him to make rapid work of tasks that are incredibly challenging. He can focus his unrivaled intelligence into a lethal laser thanks to the headband he wears. He needs an exoskeleton and a hoverchair with a variety of missiles and lasers to get around because his legs are short in comparison to his head.
George Tarleton, a former A.I.M (Advanced Idea Mechanics) scientist who was forcibly mutated into M.O.D.O.K. by the firm, is M.O.D.O.K. in the comics. Although A.I.M made an appearance in Iron Man 3, it is unclear if they or Tarleton will be involved in the story of M.O.D.O.K.’s beginnings in the MCU. Kang will appear in subsequent movies, but it’s not known if M.O.D.O.K will.
Paul Rudd’s sixth MCU movie, Quantum of Solace, raises the possibility of his future involvement in the series. Rudd signed a three-plus-plus contract with the studio, according to information provided by Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige in 2015. While the actual meaning of that is unclear, Rudd may be acting recklessly.
