Ant-Man Quantumania

These are the most high stakes post-credits scenes Marvel has had in awhile. Here's what they tease for Phase 5 going forward.

In Quantumania, the Council of Kangs looks to be governed by three distinctive versions of Kang: Rama-Tut (the Egyptian Pharaoh), Immortus (the older, bearded version), and the Scarlet Centurion. Part of that involves creating the Council of Kangs to determine which variants of Kang were too dangerous to exist. In fact, the final image in the movie is a direct recreation of We then cut to a stadium full of gathered Kangs for the MCU’s debut introduction of the Council of Kangs. The first stinger opens in an undisclosed location as we see a gathered triumvirate of Kang variants discussing the fallout of Kang the Conqueror's demise. The previous two Ant-Man movies arrived( in 2015 and 2018 respectively) as digestifs to substantial MCU entries—the first film released after Age of Ultron and the sequel hit after Infinity War.

How does Paul Rudd's new Marvel movie set up Kang, MODOK and phase 5 of the MCU?

In the meantime, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. And indeed, it turns out Kang the exile may have been the one person who stood against the combined might of his multiple selves. Hope spent most of the movie trailing around after Janet trying to get her mom to explain this whole quantum realm deal, and aside from a bit of fighting is criminally under-used. That led to a showdown with Scott in Cassie's bedroom when the poor kid was just six. In the real world, of course, foreign policy decisions about "regime change" in other lands are rarely so straightforward. He and Kang throw down in a brutal final punch-up that leaves Scott bloodied and bruised. To stop him, Cassie gives an impassioned speech to the downtrodden people of the quantum realm, who rise up against Kang. So she's none too happy when the whole family is sucked in and shrunk down, lost in the quantum realm and facing the chillingly soft-spoken dictator Kang (Jonathan Majors). Janet is horrified when her husband Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) helps Cassie sends a signal to the quantum realm, a plane of reality teenier than an atom.

This is the Marvel way: The studio recruits actors and directors for their distinctive qualities, but over time the thing that stuck out about them gets filed down, until they're just part of the machine. This is the face of a man who has stared into the yawning maw of the infinite. If you don't know your Juggernauts from your Jokers that may not mean much, but all you really need to know is we'll be seeing a lot more of Majors, and that's a good thing. [first appeared in Ant-Man back in 2015](https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/ant-man-starring-paul-rudd-a-refreshingly-simple-superhero-tale-1.3155127), Rudd's real super power was his irreverence. In the post-Endgame era of Marvel movies it often feels we're still chasing the same high from the previous films as the magic ebbs away. Suddenly, the story has clearly defined stakes and something to push against. When their research project goes awry, all three of them, along with Hank's wife and daughter, Janet and Hope van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer and Evangeline Lilly, respectively), are pulled into the microverse. There's a sad kindness in his gaze before the inevitable energy bolts appear. Then Jonathan Majors strides on screen and rescues it from the morass of mediocrity.
