We mean no disrespect after we say that Scott Lang’s tale till “Avengers: Endgame” was once lovely inconsequential. His standalone adventures had been simply heat-up acts to the principle match, than anything else, with the primary movie main into “Captain The united states: Civil Struggle” (aka Avengers 2.5) whilst “Ant-Guy and the Wasp” principally simply sucked him into the Quantum Zone so he may just save the day in “Avengers: Endgame.”
On the other hand, in November 2022, director Peyton Reed confident Leisure Weekly that Scott’s subsequent journey was once greater than a “palate cleanser.” Up to now, what we have observed of “Ant-Guy and the Wasp: Quantumania” obviously helps that remark. Now not best will the movie be throwing Scott, Hope (Evangeline Lilly), and the remainder of the ant-fam right into a enormous journey, however it is going to additionally extra correctly introduce the following giant risk to the Wonder fold at huge — Kang the Conqueror (Jonathan Majors). Some distance from the D-tier goons Ant-Guy confronted in prior motion pictures, this man goes to quickly threaten each and every particular person within the multiverse. He is the type of thorn you would be expecting to see caught within the facet of Stephen Unusual or the overdue Tony Stark, now not a former Baskin-Robbins worker.
With that during thoughts, why would Scott Lang — of the entire heroes — be the primary on Kang’s hit listing? After all, an ant has no quarrel with a boot, particularly one as difficult as this. Until, perhaps, that is the level.
