Earlier this week, Marvel Studios released a new trailer for Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, and in production notes for the threequel, we've uncovered some intriguing new details about two characters.
With it now confirmed that Ghostbusters icon Bill Murray will play Lord Krylar, an official character description reveals that he's governor of Axia, a bizarre and cushy community within the Quantum Realm.
Call him cowardly or self-centred, Krylar unapologetically enjoys the high life his status grants him - expensive meals, exotic cocktails and top-notch transportation aboard his huge pleasure yacht. It seems he and Janet are old acquaintances - but the details are vague, and she’d like to keep it that way.
Krylar is a character from the comic books, but with only a single appearance to his name in an issue of The Incredible Hulk, it's clear he's being reinvented for the MCU.
Another relatively obscure character being pulled from the Jade Giant's quirkier adventures is Jentorra. In Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, she's the strong and respected leader of the Freedom Fighters - a group of displaced inhabitants in the Quantum Realm whose lives were turned upside down by Kang.
She doesn’t have time for Scott, Cassie and their problems - and worse, their presence alone puts Jentorra’s crew in grave danger. Katy O’Brian, who worked with director Peyton Reed on The Mandalorian, was tapped to portray the powerful and unrelenting warrior who’s among the first Quantum Realm residents we'll meet.
Jentorra is the sister of Jarella, a Hulk love interest who hailed from the sub-atomic kingdom of K'ai. The movie is clearly going to take a deep dive into Marvel Comics lore, borrowing characters from other Quantum Realm-like realities in order to flesh out a dimension that's only really been teased thus far.
Whether this means we can expect to see some Negative Zone denizens as well remains to be seen, but not creating a link to that universe would be a real missed opportunity, especially with Fantastic Four on the way.
Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania arrives in theaters on February 17.
