ANT-MAN AND THE WASP: QUANTUMANIA Star Paul Rudd Praises Jonathan Majors as Kang

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is going to explore some interesting things in the multiverse and the quantum realm. We don’t know exactly what the story will entail, but with how the main villain was set up in Loki, with Kang the Conqueror, it’s exciting to think about the possibilities.

Jonathan Majors reprises his role as Kang in the movie, but he will be playing a very different version of the character. When talking about Majors’ performance in the role, Paul Rudd had nothing but praise. During an interview with Variety, he said:

"I've loved everything he's done, and I see what he's doing in this, and I'm knocked out by it. It is really fun to bring new people into the fold, and the enthusiasm that people have is palpable."

Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly are set to return and reprise their roles as Scott Lang and Hope Van Dyne. They will also be joined by Michael Douglas and Michelle Pfeiffer, who will be back as Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne. On top of that, Kathryn Newton will make her MCU debut as Scott Lang's daughter, Cassie Lang.

When previously talking about the third chapter in the Ant-Man franchise, director Peyton Reed teased what we can expect from the film in terms of its size, and explained that this next sequel is going to be much bigger than the first two films:

“There are some really exciting things in store, none of which I can speak to about right now. As is the Marvel way!

“I think the third Ant-Man movie is going to be…a much bigger, more sprawling movie than the first two. It’s going to have a very, very different visual template. And that’s all I will say.”

I’m excited to see what Marvel is planning for the story and how exactly it’s going to fit in with the events of the Loki series. It’s also going to be cool to see how it will progress the overall MCU phase 4 story arc.

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania opens in theaters on February 17, 2023.
