Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
By Robert King
During her time in the Quantum Realm, Janet van Dyne encountered Kang, an exiled traveler who promised they could both escape if she helped him rebuild his Multiversal Power Core.
Janet was horrified when she saw a vision of Kang conquering and destroying worlds, so she used her Pym Particles to enlarge his Power Core beyond use, trapping them both.
Fast forward to the present day, after the Battle of Earth, and Scott Lang is a successful memoirist, happily living with his girlfriend Hope van Dyne.
Lang’s daughter Cassie has become an activist and when she reveals she has been working on a device that can make contact with the Quantum Realm, Janet panics and tries to shut it off.
However, the message gets through, opening a portal that pulls the five of them into the Quantum Realm.
Lang and Cassie are found by natives who are rebelling against their ruler, Kang, whom Janet had unwittingly caused to be exiled. Upon meeting with Lord Krylar, a former ally of Janet’s, they find out that Kang is now the ruler of the realm.
The three are forced to flee, but the Langs are taken to Kang, who demands Lang help him get his power core back or else he will kill Cassie.
Hope helps Lang acquire the power core, but Kang destroys Janet’s ship with Pym on it.
Pym helps Lang and Hope as they make their way to Kang and Janet fixes the power core, allowing them to jump through a portal home.
Kang attacks Lang, but Hope returns and helps him destroy the power core and knock Kang into it, causing him to be pulled into oblivion.
In a mid-credit’s scene, Kang’s variants are seen commiserating and planning their multiversal uprising, while in a post-credits scene, Loki and Mobius spot another Kang variant.
Janet’s encounter with Kang led to a chaotic battle of epic proportions and a journey of discovery for both herself and the Langs.
With her Pym Particles, Janet was able to outsmart Kang and ensure his imprisonment in the Quantum Realm, saving the universe and allowing the Langs to finally return home.
