<p><em>Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania</em> or<em> Ant-Man 3</em> is the 31st movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This Peyton Reed directorial serves as the grand introduction of Jonathan Majors as Kang the Conqueror. In comics, Kang is a popular character who is sometimes an anti-hero and other times a supervillain. Unlike other conquerors, he does not subjugate lands or peoples. His domain is time. He can manipulate time and is thus a ridiculously dangerous adversary to have. He is a time-travelling being who belongs to the 31st century. He was a descendant of his namesake Nathaniel Richards, the father of Reed Richards or Mr Fantastic (played by John Krasinski in <em>Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness</em>). He 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>

<h2>To get into the headspace of Kang the Conqueror Jonathan Majors used music</h2>

<p>Majors revealed in a recent interview how he got into the head of a complex character like Kang. He revealed in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter that he used music to do that.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Music is so beautiful because it really speaks to your subconscious, and a funny thing happens every time I begin a project and try to put together a playlist. It’s the music on the surface that you think the script is asking you for, and that can be something like Requiem for a Dream’s [“Lux Aeterna”]. You think that that’s Kang, but it ends up connecting to something that is so deep in my subconscious," he said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He added that the power of music lies in its ability to speak to the subconscious, making it an effective tool when creating a playlist for a project.</p>

<p>"I knew I wanted to include Stevie Wonder's "If It's Magic."

Each song was chosen to communicate with a different part of myself, to activate and inspire different emotions and movements in the crew. Ultimately, the music serves a greater purpose than just entertainment; it helps to bring the project to life in a meaningful and impactful way," said Majors.&nbsp;</p>

Jonathan Majors joins the adventure as Kang. Director Peyton Reed returns to direct the film; Kevin Feige and Stephen Broussard produce."</p>

<h2>Why is Kang the Conqueror so scary?</h2>

<p>While speaking to WION, Reed revealed what makes Kang the Conqueror the biggest threat Scott and the Avengers have faced. He said, "He is a character who doesn't live in a straight line. And a big part of his character is he expends the least amount of energy possible. He's a very, very clear character. If he says something, he means it, and you better listen to it. So to put those two energies up against each other struck us as something quite dramatic. It's safe to say that Scott and Hope and the rest of the family have some things in store for them in this movie that go far beyond anything they've experienced before."</p>

Ant-Man 3: How Kang the Conqueror actor Jonathan Majors used music to get into character

<p>The third Ant-Man movie, <em>Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania</em>, is almost here. The film continues the story of Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang, a thief-turned-superhero who can turn into a diminutive superhero thanks to a special suit. Evangeline Lilly's Hope van Dyne, Kathryn Newton's (adult) Cassie Lang, Michael Douglas’s Hank Pym, and Michelle Pfeiffer’s Janet van Dyne, are also in the film. The film will introduce the next big villain of the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Thanos: Kang the Conqueror. Played by Jonathan Majors, Kang is unlike anybody the Avengers and other MCU superheroes have faced before. Here’s how:</p>

<p>Kang the Conqueror is a complex and fascinating character in Marvel Comics. He was created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby and first appeared in Avengers #8 in 1964. Originally from the 30th century, he is a time traveller who has conquered multiple timelines and alternate realities.</p>

<p>Kang's real name is Nathaniel Richards, and he is a direct descendant of Reed Richards, the leader of the Fantastic Four (the character that John Krasinski played in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness). Nathaniel grew up in a world where Earth was in a state of constant war, and he used his intelligence and technological prowess to travel back in time to conquer ancient civilisations. He eventually became bored with his conquests and decided to turn his attention to the heroes of the Marvel universe.</p>

<p>Kang has a number of powers and abilities that make him a formidable opponent for many of Marvel's superheroes. He is highly intelligent and has a deep understanding of technology and physics. He is also a skilled fighter and strategist, and&nbsp;has access to advanced weapons and gadgets that give him an edge in battle. Kang is also able to manipulate time and space, which allows him to travel through time and alternate realities and create time loops and paradoxes.</p>

<p>Kang has been a major villain in many Marvel storylines, and has faced the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, and the X-Men. He has also had a number of different identities and personas throughout his history, including Rama-Tut, Immortus, and Iron Lad. In some storylines, Kang is portrayed as a tragic figure who is trying to prevent a catastrophic event from occurring in the future, while in others he is a ruthless conqueror who seeks power and domination at any cost.</p>

<p>Overall, Kang the Conqueror is a fascinating and complex character in the Marvel universe. His mastery of time and space, along with his intelligence and fighting skills, make him a formidable foe for any superhero.</p>

<h2>Is Kang from the comics the same as the one in the MCU?</h2>

<p>Yes, and no. Marvel Studios also makes significant changes with the characters and stories when adapting for the big or small screens. So while Kang from the comics may be similar to the one in MCU in terms of abilities, their backstories&nbsp;are likely quite different. Majors’ Kang is a variant of He Who Remains, the man Tom Hiddleston’s Loki and Sophie Di Martino’s Sylvie encountered at the end of Loki TV series’ season 1. This one, judging by trailers and promos, is lost in the Quantum Realm, and is less of a strongman like Thanos and more like a master manipulator and strategist. We see him offering Scott the time the Avengers lost when he was stuck in the Quantum Real and five years passed on earth.</p>
