Marvel Studios revealed the first real look at Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania at San Diego Comic-Con 2022, and it included Kang the Conqueror, MODOK, and Bill Murray.
The footage was shown to those in attendance at Marvel's SDCC panel, but it has yet to be released to the public. Despite that, we learned a lot more about the film that will kick off Phase 5 of the MCU.
The footage began with Scott Lang doing a book reading at a store for his new memoir 'Look Out for the Little Guy." He is then interrupted by his daughter Cassie when she calls his phone and informs him she is in jail. The events lead them to the Quantum Realm and we catch a glimpse of Bill Murray, the face of MODOK, and the first look at Jonathan Majors' Kang the Conqueror since his variant appeared in Loki.
Marvel also shared an official plot synopsis for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and it is as follows;
"Super Hero partners Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) and Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) return to continue their adventures as Ant-Man and The Wasp," the official description reads. "Together, with Hope’s parents Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) and Janet Van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer), 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 was possible."
The third Ant-Man movie will be released on February 17, 2023 after swapping release dates with The Marvels. Aside from returning starts Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly, we knew that Jonathon Majors will appear as Kang the Conqueror (after being introduced in the Loki series), while Bill Murray all but confirmed he'll appear last year.
As previously mentioned, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania will kick off Phase 5 and is just one piece in the newly named Multiverse Saga that will end with Phase 6's Fantastic Four, Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, and Avengers: Secret Wars.
