After the disappointing run of Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase Four, fans were a little sceptical about the upcoming Phase. Starting with Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Marvel was expected to focus more on quality than quantity like it did in Phase 4.
With the release of the new trailer for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, fans saw a ray of hope in the MCU’s future. The trailer features possibly the biggest and baddest villain the MCU superheroes have ever seen – Kang the Conqueror. How exploring the Quantum Realm will affect Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang aka Ant-Man is yet to be seen, although, it does not seem pretty. While fans have nothing but praise for the trailer, they are definitely worried about having to say goodbye to Ant-Man.

While fans had lost all hope in the MCU, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’s recently released trailer awoke the sleeping fan in them, once again. It looks like Phase Five is headed towards a phenomenal start with an Ant-Man vs. Kang the Conqueror duel. The comments under the trailer have been flooded with positive reviews and fans cannot contain their excitement as the movie is coming to the theatres next month.
Judging the trailer, fans had another issue on their hands. Will Ant-Man be able to survive the battle with Jonathan Majors’ Kang the Conqueror on his own? After all, it did take an army of Avengers and then some to defeat Thanos in Avengers: End Game.
Is Ant-Man Fighting his Last Fight?
The trailer does put a dark and gloomy cloud over Scott’s head. Anyone would agree that Ant-Man does not fit into the usual mould of what a superhero is. He’s more light-hearted and fun which makes him all the more lovable. Paul Rudd might have some hand in that, too.
Ant-Man recently rose a few spots up in the list of everyone’s favourite superheroes thanks to his contribution in bringing back the MCU superheroes from Thanos’ snap in Avengers: Endgame. As mentioned above, defeating Thanos alone took a huge toll on the Avengers as they ended up losing two of their main team members, Iron Man and Black Widow. Since the MCU is moving forward it’s only fair to assume that Kang the Conqueror is an even bigger threat to the world.
When the battle took almost the entire MCU to defeat Thanos, putting up Ant-Man against Kang seems downright terrifying. He is the first superhero Kang will be facing off against and everyone knows that is not an easy fight to fight. It’s quite obvious that Kang is not a villain that will be defeated easily, especially in the first movie he shows up in. He has to tread further into the MCU; however, the same cannot be said with confidence for Scott.
To top it all off, Scott’s “I don’t have to win, we both just have to lose” dialogue does nothing but further the worries of the fans. It looks like Ant-Man is in extreme danger and we can do nothing but wait for the events to unfold.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is releasing in theatres on February 17, 2023.
