InAnt - Man and the Wasp : Quantumania , MCU hearing finally get more perceptiveness into this time - traveling tyrant and his primary rivals .
InAnt - Man and the Wasp : Quantumania , it ’s revealed that Janet van Dyne and Kang have a history together back when they were both stranded in theMCU ’s Quantum Realm .

AsQuantumaniacontinues , Kang substantiate he was exiled to the Quantum Realm by none other than himself- version of Kang whom the film ’s Conqueror claim feared him and chose to gaol him in the subatomic universe outside of time and space .
After his MCU debut as Kang the Conqueror in Ant - Man and the Wasp : Quantumania , Jonathan Majors was convicted of assault . Here ’s what ’s give out on now .
The Council Of Kangs Exiled Kang To The Quantum Realm
Kang the Conqueror explains to Janet van Dyne that his other variant exiled him to the Quantum Realm due to his attempts to eradicate them . Essentially , his mission was to become the only Kang in the multiverse - under the pretense of keep start the multiverse from his other selves - a variation he will forge himself as he go steady set . However , Ant - Man and the Wasp : Quantumania ’s end - credit sceneconfirms that the Council of Kangs did indeed connect against him , and presumably any rogue Kangs just like him , despite seeming to be a corrupt radical of villains themselves .
Led by a triplet of powerful Kang chance variable , including Immortus , the Egyptian Pharaoh Rama - Tut , and a edition of the Scarlet Centurion , the Council of Kangs consists of a authentic army of conqueror . Kang ’s multitude of variants had been bring together in response to"the expatriate one"being defeated in the Quantum Realm by Ant - Man , the Wasp , and Scott Lang ’s girl Cassie , now portrayed by Kathryn Newton , who reveals a suit of her own inAnt - Man and the Wasp : Quantumania . As such , there appear to be thousands of different Kang variants , puddle them a sizeable threat that will probably recreate a major character in Phase 6’sAvengers : The Kang Dynasty .
Why Was Kang Exiled To The Quantum Realm?
With Kang having used his index to destroy numberless world and total timeline in an effort to erase his variance from world , it make sense that the Council of Kangs would desire this particular version send to the Quantum Realm . It ’s the one place where he could no longer touch time and space or harm them . Likewise , the exiledKang the Conqueror is not unlike He Who RemainsfromLoki , another , perhaps more peaceful , variant of Kang . He Who Remains managed to produce the ego - contained " Sacred Timeline " , effectively stopping any more Kang variance from appear before his demise at the hands of Sylvie unraveled it .
However , the multiverse has now been reopened and Kang ’s many variants have been unleash on the MCU , coming together as a formidable and perhaps unstoppable military group in the shape of the Council of Kangs . Both He Who Remains and Kang the Conqueror have provided warnings of the destruction their variants can cause - a point which is highlighted at the end ofAnt - Man and the Wasp : Quantumania , as Scott Lang is entrust with an close at hand sense of apprehension . It seems that , despite his exile , Kang the Conqueror might not in reality be the greatest scourge facing the MCU ’s future .
How Kang Can Escape The Quantum Realm (Despite His Death)
speak toThe Wrapin February 2023,Ant - Isle of Man and the Wasp : Quantumaniadirector Peyton Reed suggested thatKang the Conqueror might not actually be deadafter being thrust into his exploding multiversal magnate essence . He cite how the hearing sees"Scott Lang struggling with that question"and notes that the " no eubstance , no certainty " rule might be in issue - Kang ’s dead body was n’t actually seen , so there ’s always a opportunity he could return . Some theories paint a picture Kang the Conqueror has been dragged into the Probability Storm seen duringAnt - Man and the Wasp : Quantumania , which would perhaps set aside him to render in a future MCU projection .
The MCU Probability Storm would theoretically see Kang face off against his variant should he be trapped in it , which would mean an even stronger version of the villain would come forth victorious from it , perhaps allowing the dealership to justify him as a future villain even after being defeated inAnt - Man and the Wasp : Quantumania .
How Loki Season 2 Makes Kang Surviving Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania More Likely
Lokiseason 2 supports the idea that Kang could return presently in the MCU , both by illustrating way certain circumstances can be reversed , and by changing the nature of the multiverse itself . The most transparent of these is thatLokiseason 2 sees Victor Timely killed off and then recreate , and He Who Remains also returns within the season for a short but impactful reunion with Loki . give birth two out of the three independent focal Kang variant shown being returned from deadly fates certainly suggests this would be more than potential for Kang himself , peculiarly with theAnt - Man and the Wasp : Quantumaniahaving already teased it being likely .
Since Kang was sucked into the vortex of his Multiversal Engine - previously used to travel space and time - it would perhaps make more sentiency for the scoundrel to have been transported somewhere else rather than killed straight-out years beforeAvengers : The Kang Dynasty . This is doubly plausible since the ever - expanding nature of the current multiverse would leave a variety of opening open .
While the Council of Kangs state Kang has been " killed " by Ant - Man , it ’s worth distinction that pruning is also classified as kill by several characters in the MCU , despite this actually send the being in question to the Void . As such , this conniption could instead be establishing that Kang has once again function outside of the usual parameter of reality - a concept interview have seen before via locations like the Void or Quantum Realm . WithAnt - Man and the Wasp : Quantumaniaestablishing that Kang has seen a huge belt of the prior multiverse in his lifetime , it ’s strong to not imagine the villain having a lot of tricks up his sleeve when it comes to get away both death and his strain .
