The upcoming Marvel sequelAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumaniais far from an Avengers ‘palate cleanser,’ says producer Stephen Broussard. Speaking withTotal Film, who have also released a new image of Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang alongside his daughter Cassie played by Kathryn Newton, Broussard teases the epic scope ofAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and its importance to the future of theMarvel Cinematic Universe.
“Coming after the Avengers movies, phrases like ‘palate cleanser’ had been thrown around about the Ant-Man movies. [We felt] if we’re getting a chance at part three, we want the film to be big and feel central to the future of the MCU.”
While theAnt-Manfranchise has largely been used a breather, with the first outing in 2015 coming afterAvengers: Age of UltronwhileAnt-Man and the Waspcame following the devastating ending ofAvengers: Infinity War, this will not be the case forAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Instead, the sequel will introduce Jonathan Majors as Kang the Conqueror who, as Broussard teases,will become the next major threat to the MCU.
“He is very powerful, very formidable, very strong, and will have, obviously, an ongoing presence, aÌ la Thanos in the stories, going forward in ways that are different from Thanos and feel very fresh to us.”
