“In the end, with its clumsy collision of influences, star power, CGI that is often rubbery or outright ugly, and a convoluted plot that should have an Excedrin tie-in, 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania' is like a child's mixed media project, made of paper mache, glitter, and hunks of rotting ground meat,” she said.
And the story is not even that good. You can feel the lack of great characters from previous movies. They were setting the tone of story and we don't even know what happened to them after previous movie. It's hard to believe that the director is the same person who made two prior movies.
Whilst Quantumania made a $38 million loss on its box office revenue, Marvel's team-up movies Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame made $1.2 billion of profits as we revealed.
Without this stupid stupid trope, the movie would've been much better. The problem with Quantumania is that there's no heist and they forgot to include half the cast in the movie. So basically, it wasn't an Ant-Man movie. It was just a weird sci-fi thing that they threw some existing characters into.
"Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" is about what you would expect from a Marvel film. A few off-color jokes may get your kids asking a few questions, but it is on par with other Marvel films. This should be fine if you and your family have been good with the first two Ant-Man movies.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania grossed $214.5 million in the United States and Canada, and $261.6 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $476.1 million.
The first act is about 12 minutes long, and it's 12 minutes of these foolish woke sensibilities. However, the rest of the movie is fairly woke-free, and even paints Scott as a heroic and selfless dad who would sacrifice himself for his child without a second thought.
A report exploring the behind-the-scenes drama behind Victoria Alonso's untimely exit from Marvel Studios has revealed that Disney chose to remove gay imagery from Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania ahead of its theatrical debut to avoid a ban.
MODOK is a very “comic booky” character, beloved by fans, but reduced to a weak punchline in the film, while Kang is intended to be the next Thanos, the big bad, integral to the structure of the Marvel Cinematic Universe going forward.
In addition to the violent scenes and scary visual images mentioned above, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania has some scenes that could scare or disturb children aged 8-13 years. For example: Janet is confronted by a huge spider which splits in 2 and then 4.
Not only did the third installment in the Ant-Man franchise reject the same light tone of its predecessors, but the narrative was jumbled, its CGI was some of Marvel's dodgiest in years, and it somehow managed to waste one of the studio's most charming talents, Paul Rudd.
The film grossed $760.9 million worldwide, making it the eighth-highest-grossing film of 2022, as well as the second highest-grossing film in the Thor franchise.
It is possible that Marvel altered Quantumania's ending to set up future MCU projects. In fact, not long before the reshoots began, a reliable plot leak offered a very different ending than the one that audiences eventually saw in theaters.
Kang was trapped in the Quantum Realm with zero access to the Multiverse for a long time, and was full of vengeance and rage against Ant-Man and his family. So I guess he was really desperate and not thinking clearly.
At this rate, “Ant-Man 3” may become one of the rare Marvel movies to either fall short of (or barely surpass) the $500 million mark at the global box office. At this point, it's earned just $470 million globally after six weeks of release.
Another reason why the film falls short is its pace and plot. The film is very overstuffed and moves at a whirlwind pace that will leave some viewers completely overwhelmed.
Why Kang would beat Thanos. Kang isn't physically stronger than Thanos, and if the two were to square up in a one-vs-one fight then the Titan would arguably win. However, Kang's knowledge of the multiverse means that would quite literally be several steps ahead of Thanos at all times. As a result, Kang wins this battle ...
Prior to his appearance in Quantumania, though, Majors made his MCU debut in the Season 1 finale of Loki, playing one (of many) variants of his villain Kang the Conqueror named He Who Remains.
Kang the Conqueror was exiled to the MCU Quantum Realm by his own variants in the Council of Kangs due to his attempts to eradicate them and become the sole Kang in the multiverse.
Created by David Michelinie and John Byrne, the character first appeared in Marvel Premiere #47 (April 1979). Cassandra Lang is the daughter of the superhero Scott Lang / Ant-Man. She has also been known as Stature, Stinger, and Ant-Girl at various points in her history.
Hayley Atwell portrays Peggy Carter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe films Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), Agent Carter (2013), Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), Ant-Man (2015), Avengers: Endgame Atwell appears in images in Captain America: Civil War (2016).
Disney CEO Bob Iger says The Marvels flopped at box office because of lack of 'supervision' on set. The studio chief also admits that Disney has made "too many" sequels.
The Council of Kangs, having deemed Kang too dangerous, chose to banish him into the Quantum Realm in an attempt to prevent a new war, since Kang was still seeking to conquer the Multiverse.
Given how large the MCU timeline has become, it isn't surprising that Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is full of Easter eggs regarding the previous movies and TV shows in the franchise, as well as keying-up important storylines.
