Hot on the heels of that new extended TV spot, Marvel Studios has now released a gallery of eye-catching character posters for this February's Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania. 

Disappointingly, there's no sign of M.O.D.O.K. (after he was showcased in the latest trailer, we'd hoped for a better look), but Kang the Conqueror is given the spotlight along with Bill Murray's Lord Krylar. It's been strongly hinted that he has a history with Janet Van Dyne, so Hank Pym may find himself dealing with an unexpected love rival in this threequel. 

The original Ant-Man and The Wasp are highlighted, while Scott Lang and Hope Van Dyne take centre stage in their own (and everybody else's) posters. Finally, there's Cassie Lang, a character who looks set to become a hero in her own right over the course of this movie. 

With Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania billed as an Avengers-level movie, it's clearly going to be hugely important to Marvel Studios' Phase 5 plans. However, this is only the beginning for Kang in the MCU!

Take a look at all seven character posters in the Tweets below. 

In Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, Super-Hero partners Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) and Hope van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) return to continue their adventures as Ant-Man and the Wasp.

Together, with Hope’s parents Janet van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer) and Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), and Scott’s daughter Cassie Lang (Kathryn Newton), the family finds themselves exploring the Quantum Realm, interacting with strange new creatures and embarking on an adventure that will push them beyond the limits of what they thought possible.

Directed by Peyton Reed, the threequel also stars Jonathan Majors as Kang, David Dastmalchian as Veb, Katy O'Brian as Jentorra, William Jackson Harper as Quaz, and Bill Murray as Lord Krylar.

Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania is set to be released in theaters on February 17.

With this being a month away. They're really upping the marketing now

@MyCoolYoung -
They made such a mistake revealing so much of the plot with the recent trailer that all this marketing feels like a reaction to that, desperately trying to throw everything at people to distract from the trailer.

One of my questions about the movie is how did Cassie Lang suddenly become so smart that she was able to create a transmitter/gateway to the Quantum realm?

Will they explain that in Quantumania.....or are we just supposed to accept it?
FireandBlood
FireandBlood - 1/17/2023, 11:38 AM
@TyrantBossMedia - She grew up? Why do we need to explain why Cassie is smart. Is the fact that she’s just smart not good enough? Why is no explanation good enough for Tony Stark or Bruce Banner, but not Cassie?

@TyrantBossMedia - If I was a teenager and my superhero father disappeared for 5 years, I'd pursue even the smallest of chances that I could find him. I would have spent my formative years putting all of my effort into finding out what happened. I'd break into the lab where he worked for that mad scientist and teach myself everything. I'd hone my mind and go over the equations incessantly, trying to determine if there was a chance I could save him. I'd risk my life to use that technology, but it could be worth it, even if I did end up losing hope by the end of it.

But a teenage girl from San Francisco doing the same thing? Noooooooooooo waayayayayay

@TyrantBossMedia - I mean...she is Scott's daughter and predestined to take up his mantle. So her trying everything to get him back with the ressources Pym probably stored somewhere she knew about makes sense in that universe.

I mean, the kids of all heroes always tend be smart and other cases even their ancestors: case in point Kang, aka. the descendand of Reed Richards.

@TyrantBossMedia - And why wouldn't she be so smart?
Vigor
Vigor - 1/17/2023, 12:12 PM
@PlusUltra - you know the reason why. It's because if it involves a minority or a woman, tyrant Casts doubt. Doubly so if it's a minority AND a woman

He's only ever defended Gina Carano because she's a nut job right wing conspiracy theorist, just like he is
TyrantBossMedia
TyrantBossMedia - 1/17/2023, 12:49 PM
@PlusUltra - She grew up in the five years during the turmoil of The Snap when the world was in disarray and after thinking she lost her father.
She didn't show any propensity for being incredibly smart when she was younger.
Pym's daughter make sense. Scott Lang was a criminal. So how could she do something that Pym and Janet could not do?

Stark they LIBERALLY showed him developing as a naturally smart kid when he was younger in his montage.
We didn't see Banner as a child. So we don't know his back story.

Cassie was a little kid. Five years later she is an older young woman. Now about three years later and she is smart.
I don't care if she is smart. I would like some structure to what happened during and after The Snap.
How did she get smart enough to communicate with the quantum realm.

She didn't even know her father was in the quantum realm in those five years. So perhaps after hearing about it when he came back it fueled her to begin research and she worked with him and the Pym family to learn more.
All we need is an explanation which I hope we get, not just...she just knows how to do what she is doing.

And anybody who has read my posts here will know FULL well that I despise the Tony Stark ex machina in the MCU. Too convenient to just know how to do everything. It's lazy.

@TheRose - I'm just going to keep cutting and pasting this, because I CLEARLY said in my OP ...will they explain that? I don't like writing fan fiction to replace bad writing.

@Blergh - Right. As least you tried to explain it unlike to two comments prior to yours where they just went on the attack.

All I am saying is that I would like to have an explanation.

It's better than the other lazy writing in the MCU, like Tony Stark magically being able to discover Time travel and develop a Time GPS because the story needed it.
TyrantBossMedia
TyrantBossMedia - 1/17/2023, 12:53 PM
@MrKeyzerSoze - Why would she? Can they explain it better to give context or substance to the story? Or is it going to be more lazy writing by Marvel?
TyrantBossMedia
TyrantBossMedia - 1/17/2023, 12:57 PM
@Vigor - See, I never ONCE mentioned that she was a woman and couldn't be smart. I simply asked for some explanation on how she learned so much.
Unlike you mind numbed lemmings I look for structure to give context to the story.

And also unlike those like you...I don't see race or gender first.
But clearly THAT is the first thing you see since you had to go out of your way to mention it.

You read a simple post about "Will they explain that in Quantumania.....or are we just supposed to accept it?"
And from THAT you saw WOMAN first...with your ingrained bias that you continually try to project toward others.

And then you bring up Carano...who I never mentioned. Just more of your bias.
You are transparent and hysterically sad.

@TyrantBossMedia - Unfortunately, I don't think you'll be satisfied. The MCU doestn't usually go into depth as to HOW characters get to be what they are. Rather, I feel like the franchise puts the bulk of that in the category of "comics are weird and fictional." We dont' see a montage of how Sam learned to defy physics to fly, how Hawkeye learned to shoot, or how War Machine was able to use an Iron Man suit without every actually piloting one before Iron Man 2. All of those could be interesting, but may be better left to the imagination (or their importance is hand-waved for the sake fo keeping the plot moving).

Since it's MCU, there will probably be a throwaway line, "Wow Cassie, they really taught you a lot at space camp," HAR-DEE-HAR. It's harmless fun and I guess I'm more concerned that we see the Quantum Realm in its full glory than I am to see a Cassie-Learns Montage.

Full transparency, my facetious write up is pretty close to what I'd like to see -- a lonely Cassie pushes herself to use every resourse available to find her father. I haven't watched the second trailer (to avoid spoilers), so I'm not aware if she tinkered the new Quantum device all on her own or if she had help. If I was writing it, I'd go for a daughter-like-father and show her stealing the technology.

But knowing the target mass appeal of these movies, I think they will likely skip it. I don't think it's "lazy" as much as looking at what could be cut for the economy of the story.

@TyrantBossMedia - because this actress is smarter than the last actress, no im jk
TyrantBossMedia
TyrantBossMedia - 1/17/2023, 1:29 PM
@TheRose - I don't even need depth, but a little bit of explanation for such a drastic character shift.
We already met Cassie as a little girl and all it would take it some expository dialogue.
"After my father disappeared for five years and he described the quantum realm to me I focused on learning everything I could about that realm," and establish with her having worked with the Pym's after they returned with Hope taking her under her wing.

Sam is already established when we meet him in Winter Soldier.
Hawkeye's ability to shoot is his super power. Those are established norms.
War Machine we can infer that since he was such good friends with Tony Stark that his buddy taught him.

But yes, we are expected to accept a lot of things.
My biggest issue was with Tony Stark magically discovering Spider-Man, and then developing a super spider suit with the ability to kill people, and giving it to a 16-year-old.
Then recruiting him to fight in a battle against his friends.
I hated that..more Stark ex machina.

And I think you're right. Instead of a tangible explanation Marvel will probably use some weak throw-away line to explain Cassie's gathering of knowledge to communicate with the Quantum realm.
TheRose
TheRose - 1/17/2023, 1:44 PM
@TyrantBossMedia - Ah, it's nice when I can find something to agree with you on! The Start Suit to Peter has never sat right with me. It was very entertaining in the moment, but just so overkill and foreign to a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.

Most of the Spider-Man presence in the MCU has been disappointing. I'm really hoping that the next iteration of the character -- whether Tom Holland or someone else entirely -- allows Peter to be the local every-man hero he has been in for the majority of his publication.

Vigor - 1/17/2023, 1:46 PM
@TyrantBossMedia - you have a pattern with your posts. I bring up these things because anybody who has been around for a while here, can see the pattern in your comments comprising thin veiled racism and misogyny.
Dog whistle blowing, if you will.

You purposefully ARENT explicit about it. Which is how you can go on your little "I never said woman or race, you did" tirades
TyrantBossMedia
TyrantBossMedia - 1/17/2023, 1:55 PM
@TheRose - Yes. That has been my biggest issue with the MCU presentation of Spider-Man.
I like Holland as Parker, but I wanted a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
We had International Spider-Man, and Space Spider-Man and after NWH it looks like we will be going back to his roots hopefully.

They have to be very careful with how they write the next movie because they already established Spider-Man on a LARGE scale. So if they go back to him being Neighborhood bound...there are going to be a lot of fans who may not like it since they are used to the Stark Spider-Man.
It won't take much to do it right Marvel just has to figure out how to avoid upping the ante on every movie.
TyrantBossMedia
TyrantBossMedia - 1/17/2023, 1:58 PM
@Vigor - "thin veiled racism and misogyny"

Even you admit that you are just projecting those things onto me.
I criticize every movie because there is no such thing as a perfect film, character, actor or filmmaker.
But you ONLY seem to notice it when it involved a minority or a female.

And there you have your own personal bias.

@TyrantBossMedia -
The MCU can only write female characters as doing apparent geniuses that are written so poorly it never feels justified. Shuri, Riri, Cassie... all of them are now the same character. It's the Rey Star Wars character type just slapped onto them.

They did Emma Fuhrmann dirty
Blergh
Blergh - 1/17/2023, 12:07 PM
@GhostDog - I don't get why they replaced her in this very well cast universe. Only major recast in this was Cheadle before but usually the MCU has a damn-well made casting-continuity flow.

Not sure if it was because of Fuhrmann or Reed
KWilly
KWilly - 1/17/2023, 12:11 PM
@GhostDog - They really did. I love me some Kathryn Newton, but I still would've rather they just kept Emma.

And the fact that they didn't tell her personally? She just found out like everybody else?

Feige absolutely wrong for that.
GhostDog
GhostDog - 1/17/2023, 12:21 PM
@Blergh
@KWilly
And normally they explain themselves to some extent and the fact that they didn’t do that here…it’s [frick]ed up. Even in her one scene with Rudd, she did damn good and you bought her as a daughter who hasn’t seen her father in so long.

And she favored the younger actress already imo. You could see her growing up to look like that.

They ought to make it right and cast her as another character down the line.
