Ant-Man has set his sights on the Quantum Realm to establish the next phase for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Quantumania, Ant-Man & the Wasp. Despite being the start of Phase 5 of the MCU, the latest adventures of Marvel’s (sometimes) smallest hero has surprisingly few connections to previous Marvel projects.

Listen, this order isn’t necessarily about “canon,” and it certainly won’t tell you much about how Quantumania fits into the larger Marvel universe, but it is a selection of the most thematically relevant material for this particular movie, and there’s something to be said for that. There’s nothing much. However, it is something.

This list starts with the regular stuff: Ant-Man’s first outing, then his original mission with (some of) the Avengers. Then it goes a bit more bizarre. It introduces Star Wars to the mix, then adds some Marvel and Agatha Christie. Finally, it jumps back into Marvel, before diving deep into the multiverse. Black for Men And Lokiseason 1.
