Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania will feature Jonathan Majors as another Kang Variant, though we currently have no idea which one! It's obvious the villain is about to become a recurring presence in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and we could meet The Conqueror, the Scarlet Centurion, Nathaniel Richards, Rama-Tut, or any number of variations.
That's a well-kept secret, but Corey Stoll's return as Darren Cross/Yellowjacket is not. Evangeline Lilly seemingly spilled the beans in a social media post when production started, while Loki even teased the villain's return after a giant version of his helmet was spotted in The Void.
Yellowjacket's apparent demise may have looked definitive on the surface, but so did Janet Van Dyne's, and it seems likely Cross ended up in the Quantum Realm or elsewhere in the timestream.
Inverse recently caught up with Stoll to discuss his role in The Many Saints of Newark, and the actor certainly didn't deny his Marvel Cinematic Universe return! "I just can't answer, sorry," he said when asked about his rumoured role in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. "There's just no percentage of me answering any of that."
Yeah, he'll be back alright.
Only time will tell what sort of role Yellowjacket will play in the threequel, but this character definitely still has some potential. Peyton Reed is back to helm the action, but Rick and Morty scribe Jeff Loveness penned the screenplay, so we're anticipating this being quite an improvement over the first two movies.
Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania is set to be released on February 17, 2023.
