Everyone has some very mixed feelings about Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania so far but most people agree that this movie did not live up to the expectations for several reasons. We have deep-dived into these reasons in our review of the most recent Ant-Man movie, so you can check that out before you read this article.
Frankly, it doesn’t matter whether or not you have watched Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania yet, because while the movie could be a hit or miss for you, the most important part of it was the post-credit scenes. Yes, we were blessed with two of them, and considering how disappointing the viewers have been after watching Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, they needed something to look forward to.
If you are a seasoned Marvel fan, then you know just how important these post-credit scenes are. Sometimes they tell us about the return of a particular character, sometimes they introduce a new character, or reintroduce an old one. But the best post-credit scenes are those which help set a strong base for what’s about to happen next, and that’s exactly what we see in the post-credit scenes of Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania.
Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania: Mid-Credit Scene
Some call it the first post-credit, the others call it mid-credit, but what is important is that it tells a little story, which is a part of something bigger. Now we all know that Marvel Studios and Kevin Feige have the next two phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe mapped out already, which means any and everything movie or series that releases in the coming months will eventually lead to the big finale.
It was established for a while now that the main villain in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania would be Kang, whose variant we had previously seen in Loki. In the most recent Ant-Man movie, we saw a deadly version of Kang who predicted an uproar that could potentially destroy everything known to mankind and the Universe surrounding it. Those who are already familiar with what the entire line-up looks like can probably guess that this has hinted towards Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, and the mid-credit scene confirmed that notion.
The mid-credit scene takes place after the defeat of Kang from the Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania timeline. This scene showcases three Kang variants, all of whom have been derived from the comics. Now comic fans can probably recognize these three variants, but for those who can’t, we’ve got you covered. The blue-skinned Kang is Immortus, the cyborg version is most likely a take on Scarlet Centurion, and that leaves us with the pharaoh Rama-Tut.
These are only some of the variants of the Kang and have called in every Kang variant from all different timelines because there is a business that needs to be taken care of. Even though they had banished the Kang from the Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania timeline, the fact that he died because of an Avenger didn’t sit right with them.
They realize that humans might be closer to the multiverse, and inherently plotting against it. The mid-credit scene ends with an infinite number of Kangs all across, with more and more emerging every second. It truly is going to be The Kang Dynasty.
Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania: Post-Credit Scene
Now this part of Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania is what caught everyone’s attention and was undoubtedly the best part about the whole viewing experience, so we are glad it was saved for the very end, because it left the fans with something to look forward to, despite the saddening screen time that Paul Rudd was blessed with in his own movie.
The post-credit scene, much like the mid-credit scene revealed another variant of Kang in a different timeline, but that isn’t what caught everyone’s attention. For once, the spotlight was taken away from Kang and shed on two of the most popular characters who became fan favorites after just a few episodes, Loki and Mobius. Fans have been dying to see this duo return and were worried it wouldn’t happen until Loki Season 2, but Kevin Feige has done something right in terms of Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania and everyone is grateful.
Now we have all day to fawn over Loki and Mobius, but let’s talk a little bit more about the post-credit scene and what it means for the future of Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This scene takes place in the 1900s, and you can tell that by looking at how Loki and Mobius are dressed. They are at a show, where the presenter is a variant of Kang, Victor Timely. Timely is an inventor and industrialist according to the comics, and that will most likely be transformed onto our screens in Loki Season 2, or at least that’s our guess for now.
It is unsure why Loki is after this variant of Kang, and if he is with Mobius, he has convinced him or reminded him of who Loki was and everything about the terrors and threats of Kang. It might all seem a little confusing right now, but we do recommend rewatching the first season of Loki, and then Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania to get a little bit more context and have your memory refreshed. Plus, it is always good to see Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson work together.
The mid-credit and post-credit scenes have both posed some interesting questions and possibilities. We are looking forward to the future projects of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to help dive into these scenes a little deeper and give us a better idea of what’s about it happening. However, we do highly recommend keeping a look out for any news about Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Loki Season 2, because Kang is going to play an important part in both of them, and is definitely the Thanos of Phase 5!
Conclusion
If you have watched Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania and are a Marvel fan, then you most definitely stayed for the mid-credit and post-credit scenes, and we would love to know your thoughts about them!
