Star Wars and the new villain of the multiverse. What will surprise Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Madness?

Yes, Star Wars! That’s right, “Darth Vader” is no longer the same

Ant-Man is one of the funniest and most humble Marvel heroes. Until recently, he had not claimed to have saved the planet and the universe. Zoom in and out tricks, mini car chases, good-bad scientist confrontation, and also the sexy Wasp girlfriend made the Ant-Man episodes cozy and popcorn.

But with Quantum Mania, Marvel decided to take the story from the streets of San Francisco to the cosmic level. We have a whole new, gigantic world before us. Dozens of alien species, flying warships, lasers. Everything is reminiscent of fantasy blockbuster movies like Star Wars or Valerian and a Thousand Planets. Moreover, there is also a holy fool “Darth Vader” with a masked flying head.

Adding to the similarity with the space blockbuster movies, the movie also features rebels and revolution. And when all these aliens, humans, rebels, a flying head, living (!) houses, and armored ant tanks go into battle, eyes fly in this superhero mess. And I haven’t mentioned the main villain yet.

The rebels and the revolution will surely win. And the same Ant-Man (Paul Rudd), Wasp (Evangeline Lilly), Dr. Hank (Michael Douglas) and his beloved Janet (Michelle Pfeiffer) will help them. To spice up the composition for younger audiences, Ant-Man Scott Leng’s twenty-year-old daughter Cassie Lang was included in the plot. All the rage will begin because of him, everyone will rush to the quantum world for his sake and they will start saving each other there.

This is Doctor Strange’s multiverse!

But Quantum Mania is no longer about Spider-Man. The purpose of this series is to bring the viewer into the multiverse, the so-called 5th stage of the Marvel Universe. All movies and superhero comics will revolve around this idea.

So from his early movies, Spider-Man has already grown up, and the multiverse is clearly big for him. The main villain of the movie is Kang. He wants to get out of the quantum world where he is imprisoned and destroy worlds in different universes. Scale – for a new war with all the avengers, which we will lead in a few years and a dozen films. And judging by the premieres announced in the future (for example, “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty” – in 2025), the current movie ends the Ant-Man era, throwing it into the background. Ahead are completely different heroes and villains. Cassie Leng, of course, fascinated by her youth, purity, and desire to protect the oppressed; the second is an important educational moment of our time.

Post-credits scenes: beyond the multiverse

There are scenes after the credits. They also say that the next Marvel movies will not only play in parallel universes, but will also include time jumps. So that the audience will never get bored.

“Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Mania” is doing pretty well with 7 points. And for those who understand what’s going on in the multiverse in general, the score could be 8-9 points. The audience’s first vote for Rotten Tomatoes means 84% ​​support among viewers. But critics are unhappy, they have 48%.

So the movie is worth at least enjoying the alien monster variety and getting an idea of ​​what the Marvel movies will be about in the near future. Yes! And then there’s Bill Murray.
