WATCH: Ant-man and the Wasp: Quantumania trailer looks the absolute business!

January 10th, 2023 by Marc Comments

We’re a little over a month away from the next installment in the MCU, Ant-man and the Wasp: Quantumania and the new trailer has dropped and it’s looking great.

The new trailer has Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang (Ant-man) and Evangeline Lily’s (The Wasp) Hope Pym going up against the MCU’s newest villain, Kang the Conqueror, played by Jonathan Majors and he looks like he;s going to man Thanos look like Frogman!

Also, the trailer gives us our first looks at Marvel villain MODOK (Mental/Mobile/Mechanised Organism Designed Only for Killing) in his armour and without. In the comics MODOK is George Tarleton, a former employee of Advanced Idea Mechanics (A.I.M. as seen in Iron Man 3), an arms-dealing organization specializing in futuristic weaponry, who undergoes substantial mutagenic medical experimentation originally designed to increase his intelligence. While successful, the experiments result in him developing a freakishly overdeveloped head and a stunted body, causing the character’s signature look and use of a hoverchair for mobility – there’s no clarification of that is his story in the MCU yet though:

It looks like Ant-man and the Wasp are making the move from third-tier heroes in the MCU to the main attraction because this new movie is about to explode the multiverse as set up in Loki, WandaVision, Spider-man: No Way Home and Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness and move Kang into place as the biggest villain the MCU has ever – and may ever – face.

Exciting.

Witness the beginning of a new dynasty. Watch the brand-new trailer for Marvel Studios’ #AntManAndTheWasp: Quantumania and experience it in 3D on February 17th.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
