<p>The first reviews of <em>Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania</em> are finally here, and it appears the film has divided critics right down the middle. Many of the reviews are downright negative, with critics excoriating the film's CGI quality, script, and lack of originality. The 31st film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has scored only 53 per cent on the review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes. It has now become only the second MCU film, after Chloe Zhao's <em>Eternals</em>, to be a "rotten" or poorly reviewed film. The critical consensus reads, "<em>Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania</em> mostly lacks the spark of fun that elevated earlier adventures, but Jonathan Majors' Kang is a thrilling villain poised to alter the course of the MCU."</p>

Ant-Man 3 reviews out: Paul Rudd-starrer becomes second 'rotten' MCU film

<p>A new behind-the-scenes featurette from Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania has been revealed. The film kicks off the Phase Five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and introduces the next big Thanos-like villain, Jonathan Majors' Kang the Conqueror. The featurette has Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige talking about the importance of the superhero, and indeed the film. While Scott Lang or Ant-Man, Paul Rudd's shape-shifting superhero, was a minor player before, he helped save the world and undo Thanos' snap in 2019's Avengers: Endgame. "Ant-Man is arguably the character that is the most underestimated. Ant-Man became the key to saving the universe in Avengers: Endgame. So carrying that tradition, we thought, well, let’s use this film to kick off Phase 5," says Feige.</p>

<p>Rudd said he appreciates the opportunity of working with "legends" like Michelle Pfeiffer and Michael Douglas. “I still kinda can’t believe that I’m sitting there and it’s like, wow, there’s Michelle Pfeiffer and there’s Michael Douglas. It’s really nice not to get used to working with legends," said Rudd.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In 'Quantumania', Kang pretends to help Ant-Man or Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) get back his lost time. If you don't remember, Scott was stuck in the Quantum Realm when Thanos had killed off half the universe. While he was in there for five hours, five years in the world had passed in the meantime. In that time, Scott's daughter Cassie (now played by Kathryn Newton as an adult) grew up.</p>

<p>Only Janet van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer) knows the truth about Kang. She was stuck in the Quantum Realm for 30 years and warns Scott from trusting Kang in the film.</p>

<p>Reed has earlier teased that Ant-Man 3&nbsp;will rival Avengers movies in scale, and no longer the 'palate cleansers' as they have been called before. Reed was speaking to Entertainment Weekly when he said, "People felt like, Oh, these are fun little palate cleansers after a gigantic Avengers movie. For this third one, I said, 'I don't want to be the palate cleanser anymore. I want to be the big Avengers movie. I grew up a real Marvel comics nerd, and there are a handful of antagonists in the Marvel comics universe who are all-timers. Loki, obviously. Doctor Doom from the Fantastic Four. And Kang the Conqueror."</p>

<p>He added, "In conversations with Kevin Feige and Marvel, it was like, I want to put Ant-Man and Wasp up against a really formidable villain in this movie, and so we're doing Kang the Conqueror. In the comics, Kang has dominion over time, he's a time traveler. His situation is a little bit different in this movie, which I won't spoil for you, but he's someone who, [while] we live very linear lives, from childhood to death, Kang doesn't exist that way. It struck me as interesting to take the tiniest Avengers — in some people's minds maybe the least powerful Avengers — and put them up against the most powerful force in the multiverse."</p>

<p>Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which will reportedly run for 125 minutes, also stars Evangeline Lilly, David Dastmalchian, and Randall Park. It releases on February 17, 2023.</p>

WATCH: 'Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania' trailer reveals the next Thanos-level threat in Kang the Conqueror

<p>Peyton Reed, the director of 'Ant-Man' movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is done with the franchise being considered a 'palate cleanser' for the 'Avengers' movies. The movies, which star Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly in the roles of Scott Lang or Ant-Man and Hope van Dyne or Wasp, are comedic in tone, and generally lighter than the rest of the MCU. But the third movie, titled 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania', ups the ante considerably. As the Big Bad, it has none other than Kang the Conqueror, played by Jonathan Majors. Earlier, Majors had played the role of He Who Remains in the finale of 'Loki' season 1, a gentler variant of Kang.&nbsp;</p>

'Ant-Man 3' will rival 'Avengers' movies in scale, promises director Peyton Reed

<p>We knew Jonathan Majors had been cast in the role of temporal conqueror Kang in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but when the actor appeared in the finale of 'Loki' it was revealed to be a variant of the real thing. Will the real Kang the Conqueror step up please? Well, he does in the first trailer for 'Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania'. Helmed by returning director Peyton Reed, the film explores the adventures of Scott Lang (Paul Rudd), Hope van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly), Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), Janet van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer)&nbsp;and Cassie Lang (Kathryn Newton) as they get transported into the Quantum Realm, a micro-universe that can only be entered through subatomic particles.</p>

<p>Cassie shows off a device that sends signals to the Quantum Realm, to which Janet reacts with horror. But before they can do anything, they find themselves snatched to the place.

<p>Then we hear Kang, who promises them he can send them back to their home and give them "more time" if they help him. Of course, the help he requires is something sinister.</p>

<p>'Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania' will set up Kang as the next big villain of MCU after Thanos and the Big Bad of 'Avengers: The Kang Dynasty'.</p>

<p>Kang is a popular character among comic-book readers. As his title 'Conqueror' hints, he loves conquering. But his conquests are not of land but temporal. A descendant of Nathaniel Richards, which is also Kang's own name, and also of Reed Richards, better known as Mister Fantastic, Kang found out about the time travel technology invented by Doctor Doom and sought to use it, thus becoming a conqueror of temporal domains.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In Kang Dynasty, Kang attacks the earth along with his son Marcus or Scarlet Centurion (a mantle that was earlier held by Kang). The huge storyline is certainly worth an 'Avengers' movie. The movie will likely be bigger than the last two movies in the franchise -- 'Infinity War' and 'Endgame', which themselves brought together a cast of dozens of characters.&nbsp;</p>
