“Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania”: director explains the importance of Kang in the rest of the UCM

“Avengers: Endgame” was the movie of Marvel which closed the story of several Avengers and especially Thanos, the great villain of the past phases. With this tape the participation of some superheroes, such as Iron Man, Captain America and Black Widow, ended.

The director of the last two Ant-Man films and the current “Quantumania”, Peyton Reed, spoke about the importance of the role of Jonathan Majors in a recent interview for the media. THR.

“This movie is the biggest of the three. We decided that if we had a chance to do a third round, we wanted to go crazy. We wanted to beat Scott Lang a little bit. It’s still comedic, but it also takes a very serious turn. We love the idea of ​​putting the smaller Avengers, and the Avengers that fans might think are the least powerful Avengers, and [ponerlos] against the most powerful villain in the multiverse”, he commented.

“We knew from the beginning that we wanted to put Ant-Man and the Wasp up against the big bad guy. I loved that Kang grew up as a comic reader. And we looked at a lot of Kang, but I chose Jonathan because he had it all. He is physically imposing. He is one of the most exciting actors I have ever met and worked with. He’s just a force of nature”, he added.
