MODOK has been unveiled in the latest trailer for Ant-Man 3 - and fans have already turned the villain into a meme after his "goofy" reveal.

“The memes for this MODOK are gonna kill me,” a fifth [tweeted](https://twitter.com/carbonite_13/status/1612655791231873025). “Let’s realize the meme potential MODOK is going to have in this movie,” a third [tweeted](https://twitter.com/KingOzaru_/status/1612705461756923905).

Following the release of Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania's latest trailer, a bizarre new commercial for Heineken 0.0 has been released starring Paul Rudd ...

In that, Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) is shown partaking in "Dry January" by enjoying a non-alcoholic beer...after a squabble with Ant-on, one of his many tiny allies. Check out the commercial below, and be sure to check back here later for our breakdown of the new Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania trailer. Throw in a long-overdue exploration of the Quantum Realm and M.O.D.O.K.'s live-action debut, and Phase 5's opening chapter has all the makings of a mega-hit.

Bill Murray's role in Marvel's upcoming movie Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is finally confirmed, with the actor taking on an obscure character.

Still, with Marvel's secrecy, audiences may not know all of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania's secrets until the movie hits theaters in February. [Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania](https://screenrant.com/tag/ant-man-3/) is finally confirmed. Krylar was a minor character who met his demise in the issue, ultimately exiting as quickly as he entered. Together, with Hope’s parents Janet van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer) and Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), and Scott’s daughter Cassie Lang (Kathryn Newton), the family finds themselves exploring the Quantum Realm, interacting with strange new creatures and embarking on an adventure that will push them beyond the limits of what they thought possible. Beyond the story, it also confirms the roles of a few of the film's actors, like David Dastmalchian as Veb, Katy O'Brian as Jentorra, and Murray as Lord Krylar. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania sees director Peyton Reed back at the helm, with Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly returning to the lead roles.

Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania's new trailer reveals a surprising MCU villain twist with the introduction of MODOK.

As an acronym for 'Mental Organism Designed Only For Killing', MODOK is about as iconic as they come in terms of Marvel villains and has a complicated history with the [MCU](https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a825774/marvel-cinematic-universe-in-chronological-order/). We already met a Kang Variant in the form of [Loki's He Who Remains](https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a37064683/ant-man-quantumania-kang-loki/), but this guy is the 'main' Kang we assume Earth's Mightiest Heroes will be going up against. We've seen legacy villains like Red Skull and Loki return, and with us never having seen Cross die, it's a clever twist on the source material to make him MODOK. Remembering time works differently in the Quantum Realm, Cross' new look could come from the fact he might have been trapped down there for decades, centuries, even millenniums. MODOK purists might be annoyed they've fused two characters instead of getting a comics-accurate creation, but at least he looks the part. Rumours were already swirling that Ant-Man's Corey Stoll would be playing MODOK and thanks to the latest trailer, we now know it's true. Tarleton underwent mutagenic procedures that massively increased his intelligence but left him with MODOK's signature oversized head. [team of villains known as the Intelligencia](https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a41328533/she-hulk-intelligencia-captain-america-4/) led us to believe he could pop up in [She-Hulk](https://www.digitalspy.com/she-hulk/).

[Avengers: The Kang Dynasty](https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a25845422/avengers-5-release-date-cast-title-endgame-sequel/) in 2025.

This time, Scott Lang (played by Paul Rudd as Ant-Man) appears to attempt to rewrite history and alter the events in the Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline once ...

The movie is slated to release on February 17 and expected to have a runtime of two hours and five minutes, making it the longest running duration for an Ant-Man franchise. But Kang’s deal comes with a condition - he needs Ant-Man’s help so he can flee the Quantum Realms and return to the normal world. Ant-Man, who successfully helped the Avengers save the universe with his heroic performance in Avengers: Endgame by using the power of time, now appears tempted so he could get that second chance. However, this time, he is portraying a different version of Kang the Conqueror than audiences saw in the TV show. This time, Scott Lang (played by Paul Rudd as Ant-Man) appears to attempt to rewrite history and alter the events in the Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline once again, leaving it in utter chaos. Little does he know that playing with time comes with severe consequences.

If you think that William Jackson harper is playing Mister Fantastic in the new movie Ant-Man 3 then we've got some bad news for you, true believer.

If that’s not enough, we’ve also cast your eye over the upcoming [Marvel series](https://www.thedigitalfix.com/marvel-cinematic-universe/marvel-series) [Spider-Man Freshman Year](https://www.thedigitalfix.com/marvel-cinematic-universe/spider-man-freshman-year-release-date).

Kang the Conqueror arrives in the MCU through Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which is kicking off Phase 5. Here's everything we know about it so far.

Corey Stoll (Darren Cross aka Yellowjacket) has also been rumored to appear in the movie after seemingly dying in the first Ant-Man installment. Director Peyton Reed has teased a darker tone and much higher stakes, as this Ant-Man movie has the huge responsibility of making fans and general audiences care about Kang as the next Thanos-level threat to the Marvel universe (and multiverse). Of course, Marvel veterans can already spot Cassie Lang’s future as superheroine Stature on the horizon, and the first trailer has teased that development, so there’s a lot going on in this one beyond Kang’s immediate menace. And if you need to catch up with Marvel’s theatrical releases, check out our guide to all the And that includes several new movies, including Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which is set to arrive in February – here you’ll find what we know so far about the threequel. The next two phases will be shorter than usual, but with Marvel Studios putting out new projects at an unprecedented rate after the introduction of Disney Plus shows, it makes sense that the “Multiverse Saga” – supposedly ending in 2026 with Avengers: Secret Wars – will take less time to fully develop than the “Infinity Saga” (2008-2019).

A new poster for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania shows Paul Rudd standing tall as he prepares for a fight with Kang the Conqueror.

It will set up Kang’s Reign over Phase 5 and 6 as he will also be the main villain in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. This Kang, trapped in the Quantum Realm, is the evil mastermind fans know and love from the comics. If Ant-Man helps Kang then the manipulative foe will give Ant-Man his lost time with his daughter. [Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania](https://collider.com/tag/ant-man-and-the-wasp-quantumania/). However, looming in the background is the MCU’s next big bad in [Jonathan Majors](https://collider.com/tag/jonathan-majors/)’ Kang the Conqueror. The famous Avenger is surrounded by Kang’s army, but the MCU hero also has his team and family to back him up.

With just over a month until the theatrical release of "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," Marvel Studios has released a new trailer for the film, ...

[Phase Four of the MCU](https://www.slashfilm.com/1103827/marvel-studios-phase-4-isnt-as-bad-as-you-think-it-is/) was that it kept expanding without a goal in sight, but the trailer for "Quantumania" overtly links the start of Phase Five with the end of Phase Six by calling it ["the beginning of a new dynasty." The trailer does a good job of setting up the emotional stakes for "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," with Scott being tempted to make a deal with the devil so he can turn back time and be there for his daughter's childhood. [first "Ant-Man" movie](https://www.slashfilm.com/565577/ant-man-revisited-road-to-endgame/), and it ended with Yellowjacket seemingly shrinking to death, but it appears that he may have found a way to survive as MODOK with Kang's help. This could be a clue for what to expect as Phase Five of the MCU builds toward Thanks to the events of "Avengers: Infinity War," "Ant-Man and the Wasp," and "Avengers: Endgame," Scott was stuck in the Quantum Realm for five hours while five whole years elapsed on earth. series](https://www.slashfilm.com/581345/the-quarantine-stream-marvel-modok/) starring Patton Oswalt might be that of the live-action version of MODOK. Having Stoll return as a secondary villain is an interesting way of tying "Quantumania" back to the first "Ant-Man" movie and bringing this unlikeliest of superhero trilogies full circle. [first trailer](https://www.slashfilm.com/1155753/ant-man-and-the-wasp-quantumania-trailer-get-ready-to-explore-the-quantum-realm/) for "Quantumania," released back in October, began with a light-hearted tone, similar to the first two "Ant-Man" movies, before easing viewers into a more portentous atmosphere than what they're maybe accustomed to from an "Ant-Man" flick. As the trailer progresses, we see more quick cuts, with shots of ships and Kang's apparent quantum army mobilizing, along with characters running and jumping and dangling off edges, and Scott being swallowed by what appears to be a writhing mass of alternate Ant-Men. Director Peyton Reed has said that, with "Quantumania," he's going for a movie that will ["be big and feel central to the future of the MCU." Then, we see the full-grown Cassie (Kathryn Newton) walking out of a jail cell. [new trailer](https://www.slashfilm.com/1155753/ant-man-and-the-wasp-quantumania-trailer-get-ready-to-explore-the-quantum-realm/) for the film, which marks the first movie in Phase Five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the 31st MCU film overall.

Something else we can expect is a lot of CGI, as the latest trailer makes it clear that most of the movie will be set in the “quantum realm”—a micro-universe ...

The new Amt-Man 3 trailer features MODOK, but who is playing the supervillain, and how does that connect to the first movie?

Plus anything seems possible in the Quantum Realm, with Janet van Dyne stating that Kang can “rewrite existence,” and “shatter timelines.” In the first Ant-Man movie, Cross was a brilliant scientist with questionable ethics, who used Pym tech to turn himself into supervillain Yellowjacket. in the movie, and confirmed that an old Ant-Man character is returning.

This trailer goes heavy on the foreshadowing, almost aggressively teasing Scott’s death at the end of this movie. Of course, the only problem with this universe is that Kang the Conqueror appears to control it. It’s not an Ant-Man trailer like any we’ve seen before, being [short on jokes](https://youtu.be/GJXL22sRuG4) and long on angst, but let’s dig into those details before Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly return for the third and presumably final Ant-Man movie in February.

Evil Dead Rise's Lee Cronin talks about moving the series to a city setting. Naughty Dog's Neil Druckman talks about a big change to The Last of Us' virus ...

I view the apartment as the cabin, and the hallways and the other aspects of the building as the forest. But I did have enough screen time to be able to try to develop a pop-art style to the character that hopefully will be a nice contribution to the other performers that have done it, that have had their take on this legendary character in both literature and cinema. And then, just thinking about how there’s a passage that happens from one infected to another, and like fungus does, it could become a network that is interconnected. Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckman talks about a big change to The Last of Us’ virus for the TV show. I didn’t have the time, like the two-hour narrative to really dig deep into Dracula’s pathos per se. Together, with Hope’s parents Janet van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer) and Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), and Scott’s daughter Cassie Lang (Kathryn Newton), the family finds themselves exploring the Quantum Realm, interacting with strange new creatures and embarking on an adventure that will push them beyond the limits of what they thought possible.

Evil Dead Rise’s Lee Cronin talks about moving the series to a city setting. It wasn’t forced in some way of like, ‘We need Evil Dead in the city!’ It was, ‘I want a family, and I want it to be urban’. Plus, new images from the set of The Flash movie, and what’s next on Mayfair Witches. The movie’s really not about me, Dracula rather, I don’t have a lot of screen time.

Luckily for the actor, new Ant-Man director Peyton Reed knew Dastmalchian’s Dark Knight work and was a fan of Prisoners as well. Gemma Chan appeared in Captain Marvel as Kree sniper Minn-Erva and then went on to lead Eternals as Sersi. Back then, he was a struggling actor best known for small roles in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight and Denis Villeneuve’s Prisoners. Dastmalchian is now one of the few actors to play multiple roles in the MCU. The actor, who played Russian ex-con Kurt in Ant-Man (2015) and Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018) is returning for the upcoming [Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/t/ant-man-and-the-wasp-quantumania/). However he will not be playing Kurt, and instead is stepping into a new role, a character named Veb.

The next chapter of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is right around the corner. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania will be hitting theaters on February 17, ...

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is directed by Peyton Reed from a script by Jeff Loveness. Also joining the MCU in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania are William Jackson Harper, Katy O'Brian, and Bill Murray. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania sees Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly returning as the titular heroes alongside Michelle Pfeiffer and Michael Douglas who are all returning to the MCU after last being seen in Avengers: Endgame.

'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania' hits theaters Feb. 17.

It looks like a fan-favorite actor from the "Ant-Man" franchise is returning for the upcoming third entry in the series, "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.

Be that as it may, when it came time to cast a lead for the Setting the mixed reception to the movie in question aside, letting Chan have a larger role very much seemed like the right way to go. Letting Dastmalchian flex his skills as an actor in an entirely new way seems like a wise choice, as he's proven himself to be an outstanding addition to most blockbusters he appears in. The character is said to be a freedom fighter within the Quantum Realm. Per Richtman's reporting, the character has "a goo head in a glass helmet who can translate." Though it won't be as Keith, the member of Scott Lang's gang we met in the first two movies.

We finally have a second trailer for next month's Marvel movie, and there's plenty to talk about.

This term, seen in the trailer’s text, is a reference to Avengers: Kang Dynasty, the endgame for the Kang era in more ways than one. The rings in this city shown in the trailer could be tied to Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, but that’s not all. We’ve heard tales of Kang the Conqueror for a while. [Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania](https://www.inverse.com/entertainment/ant-man-and-the-wasp-quantumania-ccxp-trailer-kang-the-conqueror) has a big task ahead of it. Kang’s a devilish guy, and if there’s anything Doctor Faustus taught us, it’s that deals with the devil aren’t the best bet. Yes, we saw Jonathan Majors in Loki as the He Who Remains variant, but now it’s time for the evil Kang to take center stage.

A new, action-packed trailer for Marvel Studios' “Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania debuted during Monday's College Football Playoff National Championship.

Super Hero partners Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) and Hope van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) return to continue their adventures as Ant-Man and the Wasp. A new, action-packed trailer for Marvel Studios’ Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania debuted during Monday’s College Football Playoff National Championship. The sci-fi adventure opens in theaters on February 17, 2023.

The latest trailer for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania features Marvel's next big villain, MODOK, and a colony of Scott Langs.

The new trailer reveals a lot of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. And with Cassie becoming the heroine Stature for the threequel, that would be an emotional way to pass the baton to a new generation. There will be so many Variants of Scott in the upcoming movie that they’ll look like an ant swarm. Even if Spider-Man: No Way Home, Loki, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness already featured multiple Variants of the same character, Quantumania’s latest trailer shows Scott splitting himself into two versions of himself instantly. In the MCU, A.I.M. It’s worth noting that Kang Dynasty is the title of the fifth Avengers movie, Kang is originally from the 31st century and packs powerful weapons from the future. So, it’s exciting to see how much power he already has in the Quantum Realm. That’s a long time to stay away from the people you love, but it wouldn’t be the last time Scott was split from his daughter. And thanks to the new footage, we know why Scott Lang/Ant-Man ( [Paul Rudd](https://collider.com/tag/paul-rudd/)) decides to work with Kang. [Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania](https://collider.com/tag/ant-man-and-the-wasp-quantumania/) is here, revealing new secrets about the highly-anticipated threequel. As expected, the trailer is focused on [Jonathan Majors](https://collider.com/ant-man-and-the-wasp-quantumania-poster-jonathan-majors/)’ Kang the Conqueror, the new overarching villain of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

What with Kang, Lang, and M.O.D.O.K., Marvel's latest look at the first film in Phase 5 seems to lift the lid more than the typical trailer for an MCU ...

There’s still the question of whether Scott will make it out of Quantumania alive as the old guard of Avengers continues to make way for the new, and whether Cassie will follow in his footsteps to become the [hero known as Stature](https://www.marvel.com/characters/stature) sooner rather than later. [Spider-Man: Far From Home](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nt9L1jCKGnE&ab_channel=SonyPicturesEntertainment) and [Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWzlQ2N6qqg&ab_channel=MarvelEntertainment), but it seems to supply more advance knowledge than Marvel typically dispenses. The movie may belong to Ant-Man and the Wasp in title, but Evangeline Lilly’s Hope Van Dyne has barely gotten a word in through two trailers, and here we see the spotlight shift to Kang in a major way as he assembles an army while planning for something much bigger than taking on the guy named “Ant-Man.” The preview even teases Quantumania as “the beginning of a new dynasty,” a nod to the upcoming [Avengers: The Kang Dynasty](https://www.marvel.com/movies/avengers-kang-dynasty), which is expected to be the penultimate entry in Phase 6 when it hits theaters in May 2025. And as a father who’s lost so much time with his daughter that the actress playing her has been Phase 4’s start to the Multiverse Saga felt I just lost so much,” Scott says via voiceover as the on-screen images convey the years he lost with Cassie during the Blip. (What with the trio of young super-geniuses in Peter Parker, Riri Williams, and apparently Cassie Lang, one has to wonder, What’s going on with the American education system in the MCU, and who deserves a medal?) Cassie’s technological breakthrough naturally gets the Ant-Man clan into trouble as they’re all sucked into the Quantum Realm. But in the latest trailer, Kang is front and center. The latest trailer, on the other hand, appears to lay out the plot in full, including the basic details of the deal that Kang offers and Scott foolishly accepts. The preview ends with Kang offering Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) an ominous deal that would return him and his family to their own dimension. In that trailer, we also learned that Cassie Lang (Kathryn Newton) has seemingly created a means of communicating with the Quantum Realm despite being only in her teenage years. And the trailer reveals a lot.

Initially a criminal from the far future who traveled back in time and conquered ancient Egypt, he was later seen in further comics in which he was named Kang the Conqueror. A sort of cyborg brain, he's previously appeared in the Hulu comedy animated series, voiced by Patton Oswalt, and in the 2020 Avengers game. The character who would become Kang was first seen in the Marvel comic Fantastic Four #19 in 1963, created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby. Loki's interference saw the return of these parallel universes, and we saw the consequences in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The Kang we met in Loki was a being called He-Who-Remains, who kept the universe from splitting into infinite parallel timelines, aka the Multiverse. The new film also features a first MCU appearance for MODOK, a comic character who goes by the name Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing. Quantumania is the third solo outing for Paul Rudd's size-changing hero Scott Lang, following 2015's Ant-Man and 2018's Ant-Man and the Wasp. According to the trailer, he makes a deal with the evil Kang -- which goes horribly wrong, of course. This time Cassie is along for the ride, as Scott tries to regain the time he lost with his troubled teenage daughter. Here's everything you need to know about Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, including release date, cast, plot and trailers. Marvel's smallest hero is heading back to the big screen.
