Learn the true story of Kang as we discover it in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Qutunmania”.
In “Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania,” it’s revealed why Kang the Conqueror was exiled to the MCU’s Quantum Realm and who sent him there. In his attempt to destroy them and become the only one in the universe, he was exiled by his own variants in the Council of Kings. This council, led by powerful variants such as the Immortals and Rama-Tut, allied with the villain after being defeated by Ant-Man, Wasp, and Casey Lang in the Quantum Realm.
Although Kang died in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania”, his existence was hinted at, and his return is more likely due to the events of “Loki” season 2, which shows the reversal of fate and the change of nature. Plural. In the film, it is revealed that Janet Van Dyne and Kang have a past in the MCU’s Quantum Realm. Although Janet helps him rebuild his multipurpose travel ship, after learning of his dark past she steals his power core to ensure he can’t leave.
The role of the Council of Kings
The Council of Kangs exiled this version to the Quantum Realm in an attempt to destroy them in an attempt to become the only one in the Multiverse. Although he looked like a gang of corrupt criminals, the council united against him. This council is led by powerful figures, including Immortus, the Egyptian pharaoh Rama-Tut, and a version of the Scarlet Centurion.
Kang’s exile to the Quantum Realm makes sense, as he has used his powers to try and wipe out worlds and entire timelines from existence. The quantum realm is the only place where time and space can no longer be affected or affected by them.
As for how he could escape the Quantum Realm despite being presumed dead, director Peyton Reed suggested that he might not be dead since his body was never seen. Some theories suggest that he was swept up in the wave of opportunity seen during “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” allowing him to return to the MCU project in the future.
Loki’s involvement in Kang’s story
“Loki” season 2 supports the idea that Kang may soon return to the MCU, showing ways to reverse certain fates and changing the character of the multiverse itself. Having two of the three main character variations on Return of the Dead definitely suggests that this is more than possible, especially since Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania already dropped it.
The scene where he is immersed in the vortex of the Multiversal Engine – which was previously used to travel through space and time – may indicate that he was transported to another place rather than dying. This is doubly compelling as the current expansion of the nature of multiple contraries opens up a range of possibilities.
Given his pivotal role in the MCU and the universe’s penchant for reviving characters, it’s highly likely that Kang will return in future Marvel movies. With Avengers: Kang Dynasty on the horizon, it’s reasonable to expect this new supervillain from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with his cunning and time-manipulating abilities, to play a central role. Furthermore, the multifaceted nature of the villain opens the door to many interpretations and character variations.
This can lead to dramatic scenes and surprising narrative twists, especially if more is explored about the Council of Kangs and their internal dynamics. His ability to navigate and control multiple rooms makes him a formidable opponent who can challenge the heroes in unexpected and complex ways. His return is not only a possibility, but promises to be a big part of the next chapter of the MCU.
