He was, then Infinity War and: End game, the biggest baddie in the MCU so far. But how Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania kicking off Phase 5 and taking the Multiverse Saga to the next level comes a villain whose serious smarts, evil goals, and multiple alternate selves will make defeating the big purple guy a walk in the park. His name is Kang the Conqueror, and he wants nothing less than dominion over absolutely everything, over all realities. Because he doesn’t exist in just one universe. He is in every branch of the Multiverse, at war not only with others, but with all other versions of himself. Blymi.
“He’s the obvious choice because you’re dealing with the Multiverse,” says MCU boss Kevin Feige. empire unique in the world Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania release “Kang gave us a new kind of Big Bad.

Then Peyton came and we talked about the film,” he says empire. “He gave me some references to Alexander the Great, things like that.” And it seems Majors’ unexpected take on the aloof, theatrical, erratic He Who Remains was just the beginning. “Kang adds tonal variety, real conflict and real friction,” he promises. “Introducing you to a new vibe in the MCU. There is a conflict. not just mano-a-mano, not just hero and villain, but “your way of life” and “my way of life”. I’m coming for it. We are in a fight here.” Come in everyone.
