Kang the Conqueror has been set as the MCU’s next supervillain after the Mad Titan Thanos plagued the universe. The first look at the multiversal resident was given to the public in Marvel’s Loki in 2021, where we saw the version of Kang which was called “He Who Remains” He was the Kang of this universe who was trying to save the universe from its other more drastic and violent variants by unifying different timelines that fell under TVA.
But after the death of He Who Remains at Sylvie’s hands, the dismantling of the Unified Timelines began to take place, signaling the other versions of Kang to the presence of this universe.
NowAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is set to bring the next version of Kang to the MCU, and this time the variant is going to be even deadlier and exponentially more powerful than the witty one we’ve seen in Loki.

Johnathan Majors had taken the name Kang the Conqueror as early as 2021 Loki and was shown to be in command of the TVA, which used Infinity Stones as a paperweight. It was just a small glimpse of the power this being commanded over the entire known universe. But even though he was like the god, the One Who Remains was a humble, benign being who was not a fighter and was known to use his brains and wits to do things his way.

But after Sylvie killed it off at the end of the first season, the fandom knew it wouldn’t be long before the other variants invaded the MCU. After almost 2 years, we now have the official reveal of Kang’s next variant in the upcoming Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumaniawhere we can see a more composed and serious version of the next threat to the universe. The ant ManPeyton Reed’s director revealed in an interview with Empire that the next movie’s version will be someone far deadlier and more powerful than the charging version of One Who Remains. He said:
“Kang the Conqueror in our film is a very different character. He’s someone who dominates time, he’s a warrior and a strategist.
This is a near-perfect description of Marvel Comics’ Kang. Reed promised that this version would be a far more dangerous and destructive force than the version Loki had faced before.
