Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania trailer introduces Kang

Ever since he moved out of HBO’s Lovecraft Country, Jonathan Majors has been having a moment. He’s clearly one of the emerging stars in Hollywood with starring turns in the upcoming Devotion and Creed III. And Majors has already made his Marvel Studios debut as He Who Remains, a variant of Kang the Conqueror who appeared in the first-season finale of Loki. Next year, Kang gets his close-up in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania as a warm-up to his showdown with the Avengers in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. Consequently, Majors has a very memorable appearance in the first trailer for Quantumania. He may even be Scott Lang’s only hope of getting home.

Paul Rudd is once again reprising his role as Scott/Ant-Man, and Marvel’s littlest hero may be getting a big head. While it’s true that Scott helped restore half the universe in Avengers: Endgame, he seems happy to ride that glory for as long as possible, much to the annoyance of his family. Unfortunately for the extended Lang and Pym clans, that means they are on a one-way trip to the Quantum Realm itself.

Michelle Pfeiffer’s Janet van Dyne was rescued from the Quantum Realm in Ant-Man and the Wasp, and that experience will surely come in handy here. But Kang isn’t the only threat awaiting this family of superheroes. And that’s why Scott may be seriously considering Kang’s offer, no matter what it costs him.

Evangeline Lilly is also reprising her role as Hope van Dyne, the second Wasp, alongside Michael Douglas as her onscreen father, Hank Pym, the original Ant-Man. Kathryn Newton is taking over the role Scott’s daughter, Cassie Lang, while Randall Park is back as FBI agent Jimmy Woo.

Peyton Reed is directing the third film in the franchise, which was written by Jeff Loveness. Marvel will release Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania on Friday, February 17, 2023.

Everything you need to know about Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
Miles Morales in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.

The genesis of Miles Morales can be traced to a fan casting suggestion that called for Donald Glover to be the next Spider-Man on the big screen. While Andrew Garfield was ultimately cast as Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man, comic book writer Brian Michael Bendis was inspired by the fan-driven Glover campaign to make a new Spider-Man. In 2011, Bendis and artist Sara Pichelli created Miles Morales, a biracial teenager who was both African American and Puerto Rican. Although Miles was created for Marvel's Ultimate line, his popularity led to his inclusion alongside Peter Parker in Marvel's regular comics. And after a starring role in 2018's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Miles became a true pop culture sensation.

This summer, Miles is back on the big screen with Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Almost every Spider-Hero from the first film is also returning, alongside an astonishing group of Spider-Men and Spider-Women from all over the multiverse. Even comic book fans can be overwhelmed when there are so many variations to keep track of in a single movie. Not to worry, though. We've got you covered with everything you need to know about Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.

Brie Larson in The Marvels.

As established in Captain Marvel, Brie Larson's Carol Danvers was one of the few superheroes who was active between Captain America's disappearance in the '40s and Iron Man's emergence in 2008. Although Carol is apparently immortal, the general public on Earth had no idea who she was until after Avengers: Endgame. Carol's actions in that movie won her the undying adulation of Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani), the heroine known as Ms. Marvel. And in the first trailer for The Marvels, Carol and Kamala suddenly find themselves inexplicably linked in a way that they can't understand.
