Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is now out in theaters and of course it has not one, but two post-credits scenes that tease what’s to come in the MCU. Here’s what you need to know.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is in theaters now! It’s not even summer and we have a new Marvel movie in theaters. Leave it to Scott Lang to defy our expectations! And, wow, does Quantumania ever defy our expectations. This is another one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s wild rides, taking us all the way into the unexplored Quantum Realm and introducing us to the MCU’s next major threat: Kang (Jonathan Majors)
Well, okay, the movie introduces us to a more proactive and conquer-y version of this threat. We actually met a version of Kang played by Majors back in the Loki Season 1 finale in 2021. And if you know anything about the comics, you know that Majors is gonna play way more than just two iterations of this guy. Things are about to get confusing in the mighty Marvel manner.
But back to Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania: what happens in the film’s post-credits scenes? Do those scenes have any ties to future Marvel TV shows? Here’s what we can tell you — spoilers ahead.
Does an ant have six legs? Yes. And this movie has two post-credits scenes, so make sure you stick around until the very end.
If you want to know more about the scenes in question, keep on reading. Spoilers ahead, obviously.
Ready for spoilers? Here we go. The mid-credits and post-credits scene have one major thing in common: Jonathan Majors. Both of the scenes in question spotlight his new Marvel villain Kang — rather, they introduce a whole lot of variants of Kang.
First up is the mid-credits scene. It features a scheming trio of Kang variants, none of which are Kang Kang but all three of which are played by Jonathan Majors. Sound confusing? Then Marvel is doing its job. Kang is maybe the most confusing character in all of Marvel, and the MCU is treating him as such. These characters are Rama-Tut, the Scarlet Centurion, and Immortus. They’re all variants of Kang — more on them in a bit (keep scrolling).
Anway — the death of Kang the Conqueror (that’s what we’ll call the primary villain of Quantumania, played by Jonathan Majors) at the end of the film has triggered exactly what Kang the Conqueror warned against. Y’see, Kang the Conqueror was exiled to the Quantum Realm because he was too much of a war-mongering handful and way too into destroying entire timelines. The Council of Kangs (as they’re known in the comics) were monitoring the Conqueror’s imprisonment in the Quantum Realm and they were alerted to his death at the hands of [checks notes] the Avenger who talks to ants. This acts as a warning to the council that the heroes of Earth are starting to trifle in matters of the Multiverse, which is the dominion of Kang.
