Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania was supposed to kick Phase 5 off in style, but the Quantum Realm proved to be far less exciting to explore than we anticipated.
Much of that can be blamed on The Volume and an overreliance on visual effects, though there were definitely some redeeming qualities. Unfortunately, most of those were a result of Kang the Conqueror actor Jonathan Majors' stellar performance, and with all signs pointing to his time in the MCU nearing its end amid ongoing legal issues, that doesn't leave us with much to praise!
Today, a slightly more exciting take on the threequel has been teased by Marvel Studios' Director of Visual Development, Andy Park, with new concept art that shows the Ant-Man family decked out in very cool Quantum suits.
Those were clearly meant to protect them in the MCU's Microverse, but the idea was likely dropped early in the pre-production process.
In other news, Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania now has a place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's timeline. According to the Disney+ app, it's set in 2026.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law take place in 2025, with The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special playing out that same year. Cassie Lang's birthday is in July, so the events of the latest Ant-Man movie must be happening in the first half of the following year. What significance, if any, this will have remains to be seen, of course.
