What Is Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania About? The third film in the Ant-Man franchise will see Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) and the Wasp (Evangeline Lilly) exploring the Quantum Realm, interacting with strange new creatures, and embarking on an adventure that pushes them beyond the limits of what they thought was possible.

“Ultimately, 'Quantumania' does a middling job of both. But in the process, it commits the worst sin a movie can make: it's boring,” she said. The film's biggest problem, Bui posits, is that “Quantumania” is not a movie, but a building block for the future of the MCU.

Turns out… nope, critics are right this time, sorry fans. Quantumania, despite a standout performance from one character in particular, is just not very good. I was always middling on the first two Ant-Man movies, which I thought were okay, but certainly in the bottom half of MCU fare.

As Scott Lang balances being both a superhero and a father, Hope van Dyne and Dr. Hank Pym present an urgent new mission that finds the Ant-Man fighting alongside The Wasp to uncover secrets from their past.

First of all, all of team Ant-Man survives the film, including Scott, Hope, Cassie, Hank and Janet. Kang is the only major player to die – well so does MODOK, but we'll talk about MODOK in a sec. But Quantumania is the true start of the MCU's Multiverse Saga.

Kang the Conqueror It's not a twist that Kang the Conqueror is the villain of Quantumania. He was named as such when the film was first announced, and he's been all over the marketing and pre-release narrative regarding his overall importance to the MCU's ongoing Multiverse Saga.

It's never specifically stated but our best guess is that Janet simply felt guilty about choosing her family over all of the people she left subjugated to Kang in the Quantum Realm. If she actually acknowledged it, that would've meant having to deal with it, and she just wanted to ignore it.

Some of the issues that the film is plagued by include the lack of an emotional arc despite trying to establish Scott and Cassie Lang's relationship. The scarcity of humor hasn't also been well-received. Perhaps it would have been better for the film if it stuck with everything the sub-franchise was doing before.

The original Ant-Man was Biophysicist and Security Operations Center expert Dr. Henry "Hank" Pym who decided to be a superhero after the death of his first wife Maria Trovaya who had been a political dissident in Hungary.

Kang the Conqueror (Nathaniel Richards) is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the character first appeared in The Avengers #8 (September 1964).

The story of the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) is a chapter from World War II nearly forgotten for over 30 years. The first American women trained to fly military aircraft, the WASP logged over 60 million miles between 1942 and 1944 ferrying planes, towing targets, testing planes and training pilots.

Scott Lang was a thief who decided to be the second Ant-Man after stealing the Ant-Man suit to save his daughter Cassandra "Cassie" Lang from a heart condition. Reforming from his life of crime, Lang soon took on a full-time career as Ant-Man with the encouragement of Hank Pym.
