LOKI Fans Believe They've Uncovered A Miss Minutes Easter Egg In ANT-MAN AND THE WASP: QUANTUMANIA

The first season of Loki introduced us to the Time Variance Authority's mascot, Miss Minutes. There was something that felt a little sinister about the character, but it wasn't until the finale we learned she was secretly loyal to He Who Remains. 

Season 2 has confirmed that he created her as an A.I. to play chess with, only for his creation to gain sentience and later serve as his eyes and ears within the TVA. Miss Minutes also fell in love with her master, something which played out in a supremely creepy conversation between her and Victor Timely. 

After being taken offline, she was rebooted by OB in the TVA and now looks set to take on a heroic role within the organisation...for the time being, at least. 

Now, one eagle-eyed fan has pointed out that Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania appears to feature a nod to Miss Minutes when Kang the Conqueror creates a shield around his Time Chair. This may be just a visual nod to the character or a suggestion he has his own Miss Minutes-like A.I. 

Either way, we don't expect it to be particularly important moving forward. 

While we may well see Kang's Variants making use of similar A.I. systems (potentially serving him the same way J.A.R.V.I.S. helped Iron Man), "Miss Minutes" was created specifically for the TVA. There are, of course, those who believe Kang the Conqueror and He Who Remains are one and the same which, technically, given the complicated nature of time travel and the Multiverse, may be the case.

However, He Who Remains is no more after the Loki season 2 finale, and Miss Minutes...well, if she doesn't cross paths with Deadpool next summer, what a missed opportunity that will be! 

"Despite being an example of why a movie shouldn’t be shot almost entirely in The Volume," we explained in our review of the movie, "every time Jonathan Majors steps on screen as Kang, Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania is an epic tale to astonish and a monumental chapter in the Multiverse Saga."

Do you think Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania included a sneaky reference to Miss Minutes?

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 now available wherever you watch movies.
